How to Make Your Valheim Server Public or Private

You decide whether your Valheim server is open to everyone or invite only. This guide covers both.

Make it private

Set a server -password of at least 5 characters. Set -public 0 to keep it off the public list. Share the password only with the people you want on the server.

Make it public

Remove the password or allow list, then share your connect address so anyone can join. See the connect guide for how players join.

Stay in control

  • Use a strong password and change it if it leaks.
  • Keep your admin list short.
  • Take regular backups in case you need to undo griefing.

Everything above is done from the 8Bit Hosting panel. Need help? Open a ticket in our Discord or email support@8bit-hosting.com.
