How we estimate and compare

We update prices and availability monthly. Plans without a confirmed current price or complete hardware details remain visible. We flag their open details on the offer. Historical configurations are not current performance guarantees and are not included in player recommendations. Specific price, term and capacity filters only consider matching known details. For the default configuration, the stated slot limit of the plan counts first, then an explicit host recommendation. If both are missing, we use a cautious RAM planning range and, for the filter, its lower end. Slot limits allow connections but do not prove hardware performance. We label recommendations and price tables with their respective origin. Mods have their own RAM assumptions. Mods, view distance, world size and shared CPU time can increase requirements. Fixed daily intervals are converted to an average calendar month for price ordering. Connection slots are not a performance promise. An independent load test on the offered servers is still pending.

More about the game

Rent a The Forest server: a fixed island for your group

A The Forest server suits a PC group that wants to run its shared island independently of its previous host. Before ordering, clarify who already owns a multiplayer world and whether it should be taken over. For a new round, access, difficulty and shared play times come first. When moving, a cleanly documented import route also matters.

Compare the offered player slots and the location with your actual round. A password helps keep the island limited to trusted players. Check where this setting is made and who gets admin rights. Also pay attention to the explicitly supported platform: a dedicated server offer for PC is no guarantee for a mixed PC and PlayStation group.

Save slot and continue must match

The Forest uses fixed save slots. The documented import consists of a complete folder such as Slot1; a single file is not enough. The selected slot must match the uploaded folder. Stop the server for the transfer and keep an unchanged copy of the original save game. That way you can still correct a wrong starting state without losing your starting point.

Initialization is especially important: for an existing save game, the server must continue instead of creating a new world. EmeraldHost describes the value Continue for this. Ask your host which settings are managed by the panel and which are kept in files. Changes to a configuration overwritten by the panel may otherwise disappear on the next start.

Also check the next restart

After the import, check buildings, world state and whether the group can join. Then restart the instance in a controlled way and make sure the same state loads again. This short test detects a wrong initialization sooner than several more game nights. The save interval and any Steam server login that may be needed also belong to the provider’s documented setup.

Besides the total price, compare the options for downloading and restoring a complete save slot. An external backup makes a later switch easier. For the term, what is actually prepaid and how the server is extended matter. For a first shared season, a manageable commitment is often more practical than a cheap compute price over a long period.

Sources and technical basics

Frequently asked questions about The Forest Game Server

What do I need for a The Forest world import?

The complete multiplayer save slot and a matching slot setting. Back up the starting state and stop the server for the transfer.

Why does a new world start despite an uploaded save?

Check the selected slot and the initialization. For an existing world, the server must continue; New can create a fresh state.

Can I download the world later?

That depends on the host's file access. Before booking, check whether the complete save slot can be exported and restored in a targeted way.
