The Forest

Survive the horror in a forest full of dangers.

A dedicated The Forest server is your survival island available around the clock: your friends drop in whenever they want and your progress keeps existing, even when your own PC is off. That is what sets a real server apart from a standard co-op game, where the adventure depends on the host staying connected and the save lives on their machine. The Forest plays with up to 8 survivors together, brought onto one game that never stops.

Hosting your server with us rather than on your own PC means peace of mind. Your island stays online 24/7, shielded by DDoS protection, without exposing your personal address and without lagging your friends' game whenever you play. No machine to leave running, no electricity bill, no network setup to tinker with.

Spinning up your server takes seconds: everything is managed from a clear panel. Choose your difficulty, from Peaceful to brutal Hard Survival, set the player count, the name and passwords, manage your saves and let auto-update apply Endnight's patches. You configure, you invite, you survive.

Why host your The Forest server with MineStrator?

A dedicated server, online 24/7

Your island stays available day and night, even with your PC off, and your save no longer depends on a connected host. Your friends join an ever-running game whenever they like, up to 8 survivors on the same island.

High-frequency CPU and dedicated RAM

A The Forest server's smoothness comes mostly from CPU clock speed: it drives the cannibals, the mutants and the island simulation. Our MyBox plans pair a fast CPU with dedicated RAM, never shared, for survival without stutter.

Every setting from the panel

Switch from Peaceful to Hard Survival, set the player count, the name, the passwords and VAC, manage your saves and let auto-update install patches. Everything is configured from a clear panel, without touching a single file.

Online and protected, with a safety net

DDoS protection included, NVMe drives and SmartBackup so you never lose your base or your survival hours. If anything goes wrong, our English-speaking support answers 7 days a week, from a team that has run its own servers since 2017.

Frequently asked questions about The Forest hosting

Pick a plan that fits your player count and your The Forest server is delivered in seconds. From the panel, set the difficulty, the name and passwords, then share the IP address with your friends. No technical skills or network setup required.

A The Forest server hosts up to 8 players in co-op, as the game allows. You set the number of slots at deployment and adjust it later from the panel. To bring a full group of 8 survivors together, go for a plan with a bit more RAM and a fast CPU.

Plan for around 4 GB for a small group of survivors and 8 GB to bring up to 8 players together. The Forest is lighter than a recent title, but smoothness depends mostly on CPU clock speed, which drives the island and its enemies. RAM brings stability, a fast CPU removes the stutter.

Partly. The Forest has no built-in mod catalog and no one-click install. Community mods exist through ModAPI: you drop them yourself into the Mods folder with the file manager. Many also need installing on each player's PC. It is an option for enthusiasts, not an automatic feature.

No. The Forest multiplayer is PC-only through Steam and offers no cross-play. Every player needs the game on PC to join your server. You simply share the IP address, or a password if you keep your island private.

Your server stays online 24/7 even with your computer off, it is protected by DDoS mitigation and your personal address is never exposed. Your friends no longer get lag when you play and your save no longer depends on the host. All without buying or wearing out a dedicated machine.

The Forest offers five modes: Peaceful, Normal, Hard, Hard Survival and Creative. Start on Normal to discover the island, switch to Hard Survival for a real challenge where resources and saves are earned, or Creative to build freely. You can change the difficulty from the panel.
