1. Open your Terraria server in MaximusHost and choose Start.
2. Wait for the status to show that the server is ready.
3. In Overview, copy the connection address and port shown for this server.
4. Use Terraria's multiplayer screen to join with the address and port.
5. When asked, enter the current server password.

Send friends the address, port, password, and the Terraria version they should use. New servers run Terraria 1.4.5.8 with TShock. Existing servers keep the runtime version they already use; check the server's startup output before choosing a client version. Everyone joining needs a compatible Terraria client.

The address and port belong to your server. Do not copy the example address from another guide or reuse a port shown for a different game.

Share the password safely

The server owner can reveal the saved password from the private password control in Overview. A collaborator needs the separate View server password permission. Passwords are not included in routine settings reads.

If you change the password in Settings, restart the server before asking everyone to join with the new value. Send passwords directly to the people you invite; avoid posting them in public channels.

Invite a collaborator to help manage the server

Open Sharing and invite the person's MaximusHost account. Choose only the permissions they need. For example, View Console allows them to see console output; Manage Terraria Players allows them to kick players, ban character names, and remove bans. Player management does not grant TShock account or group permissions.

If a friend cannot join

Check that the server is ready, the address and port match Overview, and the friend is on a compatible Terraria version. If the game asks for a password, check the current value and restart after a password change. See Troubleshooting for more help.
