Farming Simulator dedicated hosting for a friends squad (2026)
Farming Simulator (GIANTS Software) is co-op farm management — plant, harvest, animals, and machines with a friends Discord — not the same product page as Satisfactory, Factorio, Eco, or Terraria (different engines, host SKUs, and slot models). Hosts often split FS22 and FS25 into separate listings — we only quote a version when the host page names it; we do not invent version support. Apex Hosting sells a labeled Farming Simulator 25 plan we could read. BisectHosting has labeled FS22 and FS25 product pages but showed out-of-stock / waitlist with no clear dollar plan total. Shockbyte, Nodecraft, GameTeam and PebbleHost Farming Simulator page URLs returned 404 (absent from the catalogs we read). Prices below were read from each host’s own Farming Simulator page. Confirm the bill, slots, crossplay toggle, mod/Courseplay space, save backups and headroom at checkout.
Slots, RAM, crossplay, mods/Courseplay and save backups
- Friend-group fit: Apex’s FS25 entry is labeled 3 GB · up to 4 players · $11.99/mo recurring — a passworded Discord of four sits on that seat count; step to 4 GB / 8 players or 8 GB / 16 players if the squad grows. Bisect’s FS22 / FS25 pages we read did not show a clear slot / GB / dollar plan (out-of-stock / waitlist). You do not need a public 16-player farm browser box for a private squad night.
- RAM honesty (host claims only): Apex prints 3 / 4 / 8 GB standard tiers plus an EX-Series 16 GB line. Heavy maps, animals, and mod stacks (including Courseplay-style helpers) can push memory — budget toward the host’s printed floor and step up if the panel shows pressure. Shockbyte / Bisect / Nodecraft / GameTeam / PebbleHost published no Farming Simulator GB floor on a priced sellable plan today. Do not reuse Satisfactory, Factorio or Eco RAM tables.
- Crossplay (host claims only): Bisect’s FS25 marketing page shows a Cross-Play badge (and Bisect’s help center has FS22 crossplay how-tos). Apex’s FS25 product page we read did not print a crossplay claim — confirm the panel toggle (PC / console) at checkout if your squad mixes platforms. Shockbyte / Nodecraft / GameTeam / PebbleHost not confirmed.
- Mods / Courseplay / files (host claims only): Apex claims Full FTP File Access and panel install for mods / maps / settings. Bisect claims Modding Support on the FS25 page. Courseplay and similar helpers are mods you install — confirm mod storage / FTP limits in the panel; we do not invent mod-space GB. Nodecraft / GameTeam / PebbleHost / Shockbyte not confirmed. See Night 6.
- Save backups (host claims only): Apex claims Automatic Backups & Updates. Bisect claims 3 days of free server backups + a backups manager. Confirm restore steps in the panel before a map wipe or save swap — host marketing is not a save calendar.
Comparison: Farming Simulator plans
Price sources: every price comes from the host’s own Farming Simulator page (fetched 24 Oct 2026, NZDT). No third-party or search-summary prices are used. Recurring monthly figures are preferred over first-month sale teasers (sales disclosed where shown). TBD means the host page showed no clear plan total, out-of-stock / waitlist, or the page URLs we tried returned 404. Confirm at checkout.

Oceania note
Farming Simulator co-op (vehicles, animals, shared field work) still feels late on a long US route when the squad farms together. AU/NZ groups should check Apex’s EX-Series copy that lists Ryzen 7 5800X (AU) / APAC (confirm the FS25 location at checkout and use the on-page ping test), and Bisect stock (21 locations; out-of-stock / waitlist notice on the FS22 / FS25 pages we read). Shockbyte’s Melbourne brand and Nodecraft’s Melbourne / Sydney / Auckland nodes are not verified on a Farming Simulator product page today. GameTeam and PebbleHost were not confirmed on a sellable Farming Simulator marketing page — Satisfactory / Factorio / Eco Oceania notes do not transfer here. See the Oceania ping guide.
Budget note and shortlist (not rankings)
- Under ~$20, labeled FS25 recurring: Apex 3 GB / up to 4 players, $11.99/mo — sits on the ~$20 budget line; step to 4 GB $14.99 if you need eight seats.
- More RAM + printed AU/APAC CPU line: Apex EX-Series 16 GB $71.99 recurring — confirm AU node and first-month vs recurring at checkout.
- If Bisect is out of stock, or Shockbyte/Nodecraft/GameTeam/PebbleHost are absent: use Apex FS25 first; home CTAs for Shockbyte / Nodecraft / GameTeam / PebbleHost if you want to ask support whether Farming Simulator (FS22 or FS25) is coming.
- Similar nights: Satisfactory (Night 12), Factorio (Night 17), Eco (Night 41), Terraria (Night 9). Also Oceania ping.
