Sons of the Forest server hosting, done properly
A dedicated Sons of the Forest server for your group, so the island, the base you built together and everything stored in it are there whenever anyone wants to play, not only when the host's PC is on. Every server setting and every Custom difficulty option is in the dashboard, mods from sotf-mods.com go on from the Mods card, and the Admins tab keeps your owners, admins and bans. Friends join with the address and port on your server card.
Hardware built for Sons of the Forest
Sons of the Forest is heavy on single-thread performance, so we run it on top-tier AMD Ryzen 9 processors, including the flagship 9950X, with NVMe storage. Every Sons of the Forest plan also gets 2GB of extra memory headroom on top of what you pay for, because the Sons of the Forest server is a Windows program, and the layer that runs it on our Linux machines needs room of its own.
Survive the island together, without a host
On a dedicated server the island does not wait for one player's PC: anyone in your group can log in, pick up where everyone left off and keep building the base. Up to 8 players can be on at once, the game's own limit.
Your difficulty, your rules
Pick Normal, Hard, Hard Survival, Peaceful or Creative, or Custom with every difficulty setting the game has: enemy health and aggression, seasons and day length, food and ammo in containers, PvP damage and more, each a labeled control in the dashboard. Ten save slots let you keep several worlds on one server.
Mods from sotf-mods.com, tested first
Add RedLoader mods from sotf-mods.com on the Mods card. Each one is tested on a real Sons of the Forest server before it can reach yours, the card tells you which mods a dedicated server can load, and Haptic sets up RedLoader for you.
Unlimited backups you can actually restore
Automatic daily backups plus event backups around risky changes, with one-click restore. Bring an existing Sons of the Forest save with you: upload your world as a save folder from your own game or another host and keep playing where you left off.
Full file accessBeta
A real file manager in the browser and SFTP for everything else. Edit configs, drop in mod files, or pull a copy of your save down whenever you want it.

Sons of the Forest is a PC game on Steam, and Haptic servers are for the PC version. There is no console version of the game.
Up to 8, the game's own limit. Max Players in your server settings can lower it, and a bigger plan does not add slots.
Add your SteamID64 as Owner on the Admins tab of your server, and it applies at the next start. Owners manage the server from inside the game, kicks and bans included. Full Admin, Guest and Ban go on the same tab.
Yes. Add RedLoader mods from sotf-mods.com on your server's Mods card, where each one is tested on a real Sons of the Forest server first. Haptic turns RedLoader on for you. Mods that run only on the server work for everyone with nothing to install; mods that change the game for players also need RedLoader and the same mod on each player's PC.
Every 20 minutes by default, and you can set anything from 1 to 60 minutes. Stopping or restarting the server saves the world first, and so does going to sleep on Wake & Play. Haptic backs up your world automatically, and you can restore any backup with one click.
Yes. Upload the world's save folder from your own game or another host, or its SaveData.zip, with Upload World on your server's Backups card. The world goes into your server's current save slot, and Game Mode follows the world.
Yes. Wake & Play is the cheaper plan. Your server saves and sleeps after about an hour with nobody on, and you wake it from your dashboard before you play, with the world as you left it. Always On costs more and never sleeps.
Sons of the Forest servers on Haptic start at 6GB, and 8GB is the recommended size for a full group with a developed base. Every Sons of the Forest plan also runs with 2GB of extra headroom on top of what you pay for. You can change memory from the dashboard at any time without moving your world.
