Frequently Asked Questions
Find answers to common questions about our Windrose hosting services
For a two-player co-op crew, 8GB is recommended. 12GB covers a four-player group comfortably, and 16GB handles the full eight-player max. Our detailed Windrose RAM guide on the blog walks through sizing in depth.
Windrose's dedicated server binary is Windows-only as of Early Access. WinterNode runs the server binary on Linux through a compatibility layer, the same approach production game hosting infrastructure uses for many Windows-only titles. We track Windrose updates and patch our deployment same-day so version mismatches don't cut your crew off.
Windrose supports up to 8 players per server in co-op. We don't cap player slots on our end. Performance scales with RAM, so we recommend 16GB for the full 8-player crew.
Yes. We run automated backups twice daily and retain them for 45 days. You can also create manual backups at any time through SFTP or the file manager.
No setup fees. Your server deploys instantly after payment and you can start playing right away.
Yes. Windrose launched into Early Access on April 14, 2026. We track server binary updates and apply them as the developers ship them. Your server stays current without manual intervention.
Our One Tier approach gives you access to high-performance hosting without an upsell. You get the performance you expect for less.
No. We use a fair-usage model instead of hard CPU caps. Your server uses what it needs during combat, boss fights, and player surges. We actively manage node health so burst capacity stays available.
Every plan includes a baseline NVMe SSD allocation. If you need more as your world grows, open a ticket and we'll increase it for free. Automated backups don't count toward your allocation.
Yes. Your server runs 24/7 whether or not your crew is online. All servers include DDoS protection and a 99.9% uptime guarantee.

Radhiyya Ihsan
I used this service from Indonesia to host a Discord bot, but unfortunately the server location is too far from my region. This resulted in higher latency and slower response times, which affected the bot’s performance, especially for real-time commands. The setup process was fairly straightforward, and the service itself worked as expected, but the distance to the server made it less ideal for my use case. For applications like Discord bots that rely on quick responses, server location plays a big role. In terms of uptime, there were occasional unexpected downtimes. However, I appreciate that the support team was quite responsive and helpful whenever issues occurred. It may still be a good option for users closer to their server regions, but for users in Indonesia, I recommend choosing a provider with servers in Asia for better performance.

Site - 32 an SCP : SL Roleplay Server.
Excellent and dedicated support. When my server couldn't be set up properly due to an outside issue the support had done everything within their power, and I mean everything. As much as they couldn't resolve the issue, due to a issue to do with the official game makers!! Not to do with an issue with the providers of WinterNode, they had still exhausted all options until they were 100% sure that it was not an issue they could resolve, and directed me to the correct resources to have my issue resolved. The game panel is also incredibly easy to use and has some lovely design. With server info and diagnostics for memory usage and CPU usage very well displayed and quite quick with updates. WinterNode is also incredibly affordable for a good server plan, especially for new server owners. As well as customizable with the pricing - being able to switch between levels of RAM available to buy ranging from 2GB to 25GB typically. WinterNode also provides a nice range of countries to select for their servers, including the United States, Australia, United Kingdom, Germany, Finland and France. WinterNode also provides services for premium-tier Discord Bots, VPS Hosting, Game hosting and Web Hosting. For game hosting, WinterNode provides game servers from commonly large games including Minecraft, Terraria, ARK : Survival Evolved, Palworld and Hytale. Alongside less typically provided games, like SCP : Secret Laboratory which is what I am personally hosting using WinterNode. In my opinion WinterNode has easily outpaced larger service providers like Shockbyte, Bisect and other large titles. I would like to finish this by shouting out Darius from the support team, thank you for using quite the abundance of options you had attempted on my server. As much as it was not resolved, that can not be blamed on you but on Northwood (The creators of SCP:SL) haha.

So many amazing things about WinterNode, First off the pricing is amazing I believe it’s the cheapest on the market and they hold up to the standards they say if I ask for 8gb of memory they gave me 8.2gb they are always making sure I get what I paid for! Next the best thing about it is there Quality of service and Friendliness!!! They respond in less then an hour and are willing to run you step by step and explain why they do the things the way they do it!! They are also really friendly probably the most friendly service I have ever had! I used a discord ticket and they got back to me within the hour! They helped solve problems and ran the extra mile to make sure it worked!!! Brandon helped me on discord that guy is so amazing kind and friendly Honesly you need to give him a raise!!! Best customer service ever!!!

After the fall of Ramshard, Winternode came to be our go-to server hosting for Minecraft. Support was quick, servers were always running, with no downtown and a lot of fun and easy setup. I would recommend Winternode to anyone looking to host some kind of video game server, especially Minecraft.

Staff assisted me with troubleshooting the cause of my server crashing. They identified what I needed to look at in the logs, and assured it was a valid error to look into. Staff is extremely reliable, patience, and knowledgeable.
olahgito
good experience overall no lag prices not too high
Conre Cohen
the UI is easy to understand although there are times that the server can run slow but it's just a terraria game, we dont require lower pings so it did not matter that much
James
great help from the customer support, had some problems setting up the server at first but within 5 minutes i had some support who helped a hell of alot, server quality is also very good and stable. would recommend over other hosts
Frank P
Always get quickly, friendly, and helpfully advice. They may not have all the answers when it comes to certain mods but they will always lead you in the right direction. I have nothing but good things to say when it came to an easy setup and ticketing system as well and any question I had. I highly recommend them for their positive attitudes and their competitive pricing!

Avi Davis
Absolutely wonderful server hosting. I feel in control of my server. Very easy to manage and everything.
Darth Jack
Support helped me get my Minecraft bedrock server up and running, and diagnosed the multiple issues that were preventing it from working. Staff was very patient and clear in their explanation of the issue, and what I needed to do to resolve it. They get five stars only because that’s the highest rating that is allowed. If I could, they would get 10.
Diego Tino
I had mistyped email while creating my account, and they fixed it after I put in a ticket! they're very fast in their response time too!!
