An admin that reads the logs
The CouchRaid co-admin in your Discord explains crashes from the real log, restarts, restores and schedules. You confirm the scary stuff.

Things Valheim server owners learn the hard way
A full backup before every game update avoids 90% of 'my world is gone' moments.- If players rubber-band, it's almost always one player's upload bandwidth, not the server — Valheim is peer-heavy.
Valheim hosting FAQ
How much RAM does a Valheim server need?
You don't have to size it. RAM is uncapped and shared on CouchRaid servers and we watch it for you; the thing you pick is how many friends can join. Valheim's server allows at most 10 players, so the ladder stops at 10 slots — mods and big builds fit on any tier.
Can I use mods?
Yes. BepInEx and Valheim Plus install with a toggle in the panel. Every player needs the same client mods.
Can Xbox players join?
Turn on Crossplay in the panel (it adds the -crossplay flag). Note crossplay servers use a join code and don't appear in the Steam server browser.
Why doesn't my server show in the list?
The in-game list is slow and often incomplete. Add it as a favorite by IP:port, or join by name from the Steam server browser. The co-admin can hand you the exact join string.
Can I bring my existing world?
Yes — upload the .db and .fwl files through the file manager, set the WORLD name to match, and restart.
What's the 2-day free trial?
A real 2-slot server for 48 hours, no credit card. Extend it once by 24 hours from the dashboard if you need more time, and keep it by adding a card before it expires.
