How to Set Up a Vintage Story Server

Vintage Story··2 min read

Vintage Story is a hardcore, lore-rich survival sandbox with deep crafting and a punishing wilderness. A dedicated server holds your persistent world and supports a healthy modding scene. This step-by-step guide shows you how to set up a Vintage Story server in minutes — no manual install, no command line.

What you need

  • A Vintage Story plan with around 3–6 GB of RAM — Vintage Story is a Medium-class game.
  • Support for config files and mods, included on every GGameHost Vintage Story plan.
  • Your friends or community to play with (up to 16+ slots).

Step 1 — Choose your plan

Pick a plan sized for your Vintage Story community. We recommend about 3–6 GB of RAM; start smaller and upgrade in one click as you add players or mods. Vintage Story plans start at $10.99/mo.

Step 2 — Deploy your server

Check out and your Vintage Story server provisions automatically in under 60 seconds, with console access right away — no manual install, no command line.

Step 3 — Connect & invite players

Once your Vintage Story server is online, share its address (IP and port) with your friends so they can join. Start, stop and restart it anytime from the control panel.

Step 4 — Install mods & configure

Your Vintage Story server supports Mods, World config, Backups, FTP/SFTP. Install config files and mods straight from the one-click installer, or upload your own from the control panel — then tweak settings in the visual config editor.

Step 5 — Keep it running smoothly

Enable scheduled automatic backups, set restart timers, and monitor CPU, RAM and player counts from the dashboard. Always-on DDoS protection and 24/7 support keep your Vintage Story server stable.
