Mordhau dedicated hosting for a small friend group (2026)
Mordhau is the medieval melee FPS — feints, parries, and frontline chaos — where a passworded friend server beats queueing into a public Frontline night. Shockbyte, GameTeam and BisectHosting sell it. Apex, Nodecraft and PebbleHost Mordhau page URLs we tried returned 404 (or were not listed as a Mordhau product). Prices below were read from each host’s own Mordhau page. Confirm availability and the bill at checkout.
RAM, slots and mods
- Friend-group fit: Shockbyte labels Light · 8 players ($5.99/mo) — the natural private-crew / duel / small Frontline band under ~$20. Medium · 32 and Heavy · 64 step up toward full battle size. GameTeam claims unlimited slots on a per-GB price and FAQ-says about 64–80 for large battles. A passworded friend night can sit on Shockbyte Light without buying a 64-slot public queue.
- RAM honesty (host claims only): Shockbyte’s Mordhau plan cards list player caps only — no GB figures on the page we read. GameTeam’s FAQ says 4–6 GB for Mordhau. Bisect prices per GB but did not display a $/GB rate or labeled minimum on the markup we read. Treat Shockbyte RAM as TBD at checkout; budget toward GameTeam’s 4–6 GB guidance when sizing a pay-by-GB plan.
- Mods (host claims only): Shockbyte claims Mod Support and Custom Maps, and its Mordhau config docs cover an Active Mods field. Bisect claims Modding Support (and publishes Mordhau mod/install help). GameTeam’s FAQ says yes via mod.io (maps and mods; AI copilot can declare them). Apex, Nodecraft and PebbleHost were not confirmed. See Night 6.
Comparison: Mordhau plans
Price sources: every price comes from the host’s own Mordhau 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, or the page URLs we tried returned 404. Confirm at checkout.

Oceania note
Mordhau’s melee timing and frontline fights punish long routes harder than a slow craft loop. AU/NZ groups should check at checkout for an AU / APAC node on Shockbyte (Melbourne company; global locations claimed), GameTeam’s global map, or Bisect stock (21 locations; out-of-stock notice on the page we read). Apex, Nodecraft and PebbleHost were not confirmed for Mordhau — their Oceania notes on other games do not transfer here. See the Oceania ping guide.
Budget note and shortlist (not rankings)
- Labeled friend/duel plan under ~$20: Shockbyte Light, $5.99/mo (8 players). Step up to Medium ($16.99 / 32) if the squad grows — still confirm RAM at checkout.
- RAM toward 4–6 GB (host FAQ): GameTeam Budget from $0.49/GB · week, Premium from $0.74/GB · week — confirm plan total, term and GB at checkout.
- If Bisect price/stock is hidden: use Shockbyte or GameTeam first; home CTA for Apex, Nodecraft or PebbleHost if you want to ask support whether Mordhau is coming.
- Similar nights: CS2 (Night 27), TF2 (Night 28), Squad (Night 42), Rust friend wipe (Night 4). Also budget under ~$20 and Oceania ping.
