What are the different Terraria server types?

Terraria PvP Servers

Do you enjoy fighting against other players in duels or faction battles? Terraria PvP servers offer just that. Players will spawn with nothing but the clothes on their back and must fight to survive against players who are after them.

Terraria PvE Servers

On these servers, players are encouraged to team up together in order to get through the harsh lands of Terraria Exiles. Since there's no real danger or risk of being killed by another player it makes building your home base much less stressful. This is great for new players that want to learn Terraria and be put through the works without the stress of dying to other players.

Terraria Creative Servers

On these servers, the only objective is building huge structures from scratch without any restrictions on how they should look like. They come with a bunch of different Terraria resource packs which expands the possibilities dramatically. These Terraria servers sometimes offer complex options that allow advanced users to build all kinds of contraptions.

Terraria Survival Servers

A Terraria Survival Server is a server which you start with nothing and have to build your way up. These servers are harder than the regular PvE Terraria servers and it is much riskier to go out into the open world.

Terraria Roleplaying Servers

Terraria Roleplaying servers are a fun way to get into a new community and try out some different rulesets. In this server type players are expected to stay in character, talk like their character would speak, and make decisions that wouldn't be normal for them. It's great for people interested in learning about Terraria lore. Servers with active admins also provide a fun environment where you can get help from veterans that will guide you through your first steps of survival!

Terraria Server Hosting

There are many different options when it comes to hosting a Terraria server. Terraria servers can be hosted on a dedicated server, or you could rent Terraria Server Hosting from many different companies.

Requirements to Start a Terraria Server

CPU and Bandwidth

CPU and bandwidth are the most important considerations in running a dedicated gaming server for Terraria. The game isn’t very disk or RAM intensive, but the more popular your server is, the more CPU and bandwidth processes you are going to want to allocate. A heavily populated Terraria server can use upwards of 2TB of bandwidth a month, but this will vary based on setup and usage needs. At least a 100Mbps port speed is recommended for effective network traffic management.

Terraria Dedicated Server

A Terraria dedicated server would need the minimum processing power of 2GHz or higher. The server software can be installed on Linux or Windows. Ports 25565 should be open on your server firewall for complete network access to the dedicated game server. Using a dedicated server will significantly help your Terraria project with any lag or issues you may experience along the way.

Terraria Server Not Responding?

Having trouble connecting to a Terraria server? This is often the result of a network overload, DNS issues, or server errors. You can try to refresh or reconnect but if that doesn't work then you may need to contact community support for further assistance.
