What is The Forest Server Hosting?
The Forest server hosting allows you to create your own dedicated multiplayer world where you and your friends can explore, build, and survive together.
With a dedicated server, you have full control over game settings, difficulty levels, and mods, tailoring the experience to fit your group’s playstyle. The server is always online, so your friends can join in at any time, even if you're offline.
Hosting your own server ensures smooth, lag-free gameplay and lets you create the ultimate survival experience in The Forest.
