Voyagers of Nera hosting built for co-op crews.

Voyagers of Nera lets you host a game directly from your PC, but that world only exists while you — the host — are online. The moment you close the game or your PC sleeps, everyone else is locked out. Player-hosting also ties up your own machine running both the game client and the server, which can introduce lag during ocean traversal and combat, and exposes your home connection to attack.

A dedicated server changes all of this. Your ocean world stays online 24/7 so friends can keep building villages, rescuing spirits and exploring new islands even when you're asleep. EUGameHost includes always-on DDoS protection on every plan, a 10 Gbps network, full FTP/SFTP access, automatic backups and 24/7 support — and with no contracts you can cancel anytime, so renting carries none of the long-term risk of buying and maintaining your own hardware.

Voyagers of Nera is a cooperative PvE game with no PvP combat — Treehouse Games designed it around friends working together rather than competing, so most servers are private cooperative worlds rather than open public ones.

Private friend-group servers (most popular)

By far the most common setup: a small group of 2 to 6 friends on a password-protected server. Everyone can join anytime because the world stays online 24/7, and friends contribute through different roles — some explore and fight, others build and craft. A dedicated server was the single most requested feature during the game's development.

Couples, duos and families

The relaxing art style, gentle survival mechanics and lack of PvP make Voyagers of Nera a favourite for couples, siblings and parent-child duos. A small dedicated server means everyone can explore the ocean world on their own schedule without needing to coordinate play sessions.

Community and solo servers

Larger crews run servers up to the full 10-player cap, usually passworded with shared rules about builds and resource sharing. Solo players benefit too — a dedicated server keeps your world persistent and always accessible, with automatic backups protecting your progress, and many later invite friends into their established world as the crew grows.

Because Voyagers of Nera is built on Unreal Engine 5, its dedicated server leans heavily on single-thread CPU performance — the single-core clock speed of the processor, not the raw core count, governs how smoothly the world simulates when your crew is all online at once. Fast storage and a low-latency network round out the picture for world loading and keeping every player in sync.

The pressure point is a full crew doing different things at the same time: sailing across biomes, fighting creatures of the Deep and building large villages simultaneously. A low-clock or oversold CPU buckles under that load and produces desync and stutter. A strong single-thread processor, generous DDR4 memory and quick NVMe storage are what hold performance steady when it matters most.

CPU: single-thread speed wins

EUGameHost runs Voyagers of Nera on high-clock Intel Xeon CPUs (3.8GHz+) for the single-thread performance Unreal Engine 5 servers depend on, so your server isn't fighting noisy neighbours for cycles when your crew is busy.

Memory, storage and network

Generous DDR4 memory keeps large ocean worlds, player inventories and village structures responsive, while unlimited NVMe 4.0 SSD storage slashes world-load and save times. Every plan rides a 10 Gbps network so bandwidth is never the bottleneck as your crew streams between islands.

Community game servers are common DDoS targets, and generic web protection is largely ineffective against game-layer attacks, which is why proper mitigation has to understand game traffic specifically.

EUGameHost includes always-on DDoS protection on every Voyagers of Nera server, with Layer 3 and 4 volumetric mitigation, Layer 7 application filtering and Anycast routing that absorbs large-scale attacks across multiple points of presence. Protection is always on and your server is never null-routed during an attack — the failure mode of cheap hosts that quietly take your whole crew offline the moment they're targeted.

Voyagers of Nera hosting is priced mainly on player capacity — a small crew costs very little to run, while a full 10-player server needs a bit more memory and headroom, and the pricing reflects that.

EUGameHost's plans start from £2.52 per month for the Starter (up to 6 players), with Pro from £3.36 (up to 8 players) and Ultra from £4.20 (the full 10-player cap). Billing is flexible: pay monthly, or commit yearly and save 15%. There are no contracts and you can cancel anytime, so you're free to upgrade as your crew grows and adjust afterwards without penalty.

Location is the difference between responsive co-op and a server that feels laggy for half your crew. Voyagers of Nera is sensitive to latency — sailing, combat and cooperative building all come down to fractions of a second — so you want your server hosted as close as possible to the bulk of your players to keep ping low and synchronisation tight.

EUGameHost offers Voyagers of Nera locations in the United Kingdom (London) and the United States (Dallas), with routing optimised for European and North American players. London is the natural home for UK and European crews, while Dallas serves North America with low latency. Run the live latency test at the top of this page to check your real ping to each before you buy, and where your crew spans continents, pick the location closest to most of your players.
