Create a Server
This guide explains how to create a new server from the My Servers page, then walks through the Terraria Server creation form.
The exact available games may grow over time, but the creation flow is similar across server types.
My Servers Page
The My Servers page is your main dashboard for managing all servers on your account.
Typical information shown includes:
- Total Servers
- Active Servers
- Available Credits
- Credit purchase options
- Existing server list
- Server creation options
Available Credits
Your current credit balance appears near the top-right area.
Credits are used to run servers based on resource usage and platform pricing.
If needed, use:
Buy Credits
to add more balance.
Navigate to Create New Server
From the My Servers page:
- Click the Create New Server tab
- Select the game you want to host
Examples may include:
- Minecraft Java
- Minecraft Bedrock
- Terraria
- Satisfactory
- Sons of the Forest
Choose Terraria
Click:
Create Terraria Server
This opens the Terraria creation page.
Create a Terraria Server
The Terraria creation page lets you choose resources, initial world settings, and location.
Customize Resources
Use the sliders to choose your hardware allocation.
Memory (GB)
Controls available RAM.
Higher RAM helps with:
- More players
- Larger worlds
- Mods/plugins
- Better stability
CPU (vCPU)
Controls processor power.
Higher CPU helps with:
- Busy servers
- Heavy modpacks
Initial World
Choose the first world's settings before provisioning:
- World Name — the name players see in Terraria
- World Size — Small, Medium, or Large
- World Evil — Random, Corruption, or Crimson
World generation happens during the first server start. Choosing these settings during creation avoids waiting for an unwanted world to generate and then replacing it. Larger worlds take longer to generate.
Credit Cost
The page calculates the estimated running cost from the RAM and vCPU values you select. The live estimate is authoritative.
Credits are typically deducted while the server is running according to platform billing rules.
Some server types may also have a one-time creation fee.
Example:
50 credits to create a Terraria server
Server Name
Choose the display name for your server.
Example:
Terry Server
Use something recognizable for you and your players.
Server Location
Choose the hosting region.
Example:
US-East
Select the region closest to most players for lower latency.
Recommended First-Time Setup
Easy Private Server
- Moderate Ram (2.0 GB)
- Moderate CPU (2.0 vCPU)
Create Server
After reviewing settings, click:
Create Server
You will be returned to My Servers page with your new server in maintenance mode. Once provisioning is complete, your new server will exit maintenance mode and will be fully available to you.
Server setup may take several minutes before the server is ready. Initial world generation can take longer for large worlds.
After Creation
Once complete, your server should appear in My Servers.
From there you can open the management page to:
- Start/Stop
- View console
- Create backups
Troubleshooting
Create button not working
Check:
- Enough credits available
- Required fields completed
- Resource values valid
Server costs too high
Reduce RAM or CPU sliders.
Players lagging later
Increase resources or choose a closer location.
Tips
- Choose the closest region to players.
- Start small and scale resources later.
