Dedicated server vs your PC and public servers

How a Don't Starve Together dedicated server compares with hosting from your PC or joining a public one.

💻
PC-hosted
Works for short sessions only
✗Server goes offline when the host logs off
✗Port forwarding and firewall setup are on you
✗Server config files are yours to edit and fix
✗No support team when something breaks
PC hosting works for short sessions, but quickly becomes frustrating for groups.
★ Best choice
🏆
PingPlayers Dedicated
Best for long-term worlds and communities
✓Runs on its own hardware, no host PC needed
✓World settings are yours to change in the panel
✓Admin rights and full file access for your group

🌐
Public servers
Easy to join, hard to keep
✗Someone else picks the world settings
✗Progress can be wiped without warning
✗No admin rights for your group
✗A full server can lock your group out
Public servers can be fun to try, but rarely offer long-term stability or freedom.

About Don't Starve Together

Don’t Starve Together (DST) is the standalone multiplayer expansion to Don’t Starve, the wilderness survival game from Klei Entertainment. It opened in Early Access in December 2014 and reached full release on 21 April 2016. Your group are Survivors, stranded together in the Constant.

You build a base, craft at the Science Machine and cook in the Crock Pot. Then the seasons turn. Hound waves hit the camp and low sanity brings out shadow creatures. In winter, Deerclops comes for your base. Further out are bosses such as Bearger and Dragonfly, and below ground the Caves lead down to the Ruins.

A dedicated server keeps your world online after the host logs off, so whoever is on can keep the base going while the others sleep. It also gives the surface and the Caves data centre hardware instead of a share of someone’s gaming PC.

FAQ

Don't Starve Together server hosting questions, answered.

Answers before you rent. Anything else, ask support on live chat.

Pick a plan and a location above and check out. The server is live 60 seconds later. Then paste your Klei server token into Basic Settings, restart, and the server shows up in Browse Games.

It depends mostly on the Caves and your mods. Plans come in 3 GB, 4 GB or 6 GB, or a custom plan from 3 to 6 GB, and 4 GB is our most popular plan for this game. A world with Caves runs two shards at once, so it needs more room than the Forest alone. Support can size it with you.

On six continents: North America, South America, Europe, Asia, Oceania and Africa. The live map above shows every location, the checkout shows your ping to each one, and every location costs the same.

Launch Don’t Starve Together, open Browse Games, type your server name into the search and click Join. Enter the password if you set one. How to join.
