Customer Service Report on the Discord
Customer service support on the Discord was excellent and was able to solve my issue! So far I’m very impressed w/ the support and feel like I made the best choice choosing Indifferent Broccoli to host my dedicated Valheim server.

Great for Valheim
Quick setup, reasonable pricing, and very responsive support team via email and Discord. We imported a rather large Valheim world from a personal server so a friend would no longer have to leave his PC on. Performance is pretty good for 5-6 players at a time and we haven't had any major issues in the 4 months it's been up.

Great choice for servers with friends
Have now had a Valheim server for around a week. Just myself and a couple of friends playing on it, but performance has been great so far and the initial setup was extremely quick. Quite like the control panel too - everything I need, but keeping it simple and responsive unlike some I've used in the past. Currently wouldn't hesitate to try them again or recommend them to friends in the future.
