1. Open My Servers and choose Create New Server.
2. Select Terraria.
3. Choose a server name and a nearby hosting region.
4. Choose RAM and CPU for your group. Start small if you are not sure; you can adjust resources later.
5. Choose the first world's name, size, evil, and difficulty.
6. Review the live credit estimate and the one-time 50-credit creation fee, then create the server.

World sizes are Small, Medium, and Large. Choose Random, Corruption, or Crimson for the world's evil. Choose Classic, Expert, Master, or Journey for difficulty. These choices apply when that world is created; changing a setting later does not resize or convert an existing world.

Provisioning and first-time world generation can take a few minutes. Open the server's Overview and Console to follow progress. Wait until the status shows that the server is ready before joining.

What the estimate includes

The estimate changes with the RAM, CPU, and time you select. The live estimate is authoritative for your current choices. A new Terraria server has a one-time 50-credit creation fee. Server storage may still cost credits while the server is stopped, so check the estimate and your account's Billing and Credits page before creating it.

After setup

Open Overview to find the connection address, port, and a private password control. The password is generated for you. Use the Worlds tab for saved worlds and the Backups tab for full-server recovery points.

Continue with Connect and invite friends, Worlds and backups, or Terraria settings.
