Nightingale dedicated hosting for a small friend group (2026)
Nightingale (Inflexion Games) is a gaslamp-fantasy co-op crafting / survival game — Realmwalkers open Fae portals, gather, build and fight on a shared realm that stays online when the Discord drops in. It is not the same product page as Enshrouded, Valheim, Core Keeper, or V Rising (different engines, host SKUs, multiplayer model, and RAM floors). Apex Hosting, GameTeam and BisectHosting sell labeled Nightingale plans we could read. Shockbyte, Nodecraft and PebbleHost Nightingale page URLs we tried returned 404 or did not expose a sellable Nightingale SKU in the catalogs we read. We quote host-owned plan totals only. No gameplay walkthroughs — hosting comparison only. Confirm the bill and headroom at checkout.
RAM, slots, dedicated path and mods
- Friend-group fit: Nightingale friend hosting is a small-co-op niche — typically a Discord of a handful of Realmwalkers on one persistent dedicated realm, not a public browser list. Apex prints 4 GB as “Minimum for Nightingale” on its labeled ladder (then 8 GB / 16 GB). GameTeam and Bisect sell by the GB with unlimited / panel-managed slots rather than a Nightingale-named player ladder. A 2–6 friend night often starts at Apex’s 4 GB floor or ~4–6 GB on a $/GB host; bump RAM if the realm and builds grow.
- RAM honesty (host claims only): Apex prints 4 / 8 / 16 GB on the Nightingale page and labels 4 GB the minimum. GameTeam prices Nightingale as Budget $0.49/GB and Premium $0.74/GB (schema AggregateOffer low/high; confirm live total at checkout — example math only: Budget 4 GB ≈ $1.96 · 6 GB ≈ $2.94 if $0.49 holds). BisectHosting prices Nightingale as BisectOne ~/GB (llms.txt ~$2.99/GB/mo — confirm the live total and stock; example: 4 GB ≈ $11.96 · 6 GB ≈ $17.94 if $2.99 holds). Shockbyte / Nodecraft / PebbleHost published no Nightingale GB floor on a sellable marketing page today. Do not reuse Enshrouded, Valheim, Core Keeper or V Rising RAM tables — those are different products.
- Dedicated / mods (host claims only): Nightingale has first-party dedicated-server support (Inflexion lists preferred partners on playnightingale.com — we only compare the six hosts on this site). Apex’s Nightingale page claims Full FTP File Access, panel install / modpack support language, Automatic Backups, and DDoS. GameTeam’s Nightingale page claims Mods & Plugins via its panel / AI-copilot copy, Unlimited Player Slots, backups, and DDoS. BisectHosting’s Nightingale page claims game swap (110+), instance manager, player management, 3-day backups, free DDoS, and NVMe — it does not print a Nightingale-specific mod-loader badge on the markup we read; treat Bisect mods as “not specifically claimed for Nightingale on that page.” Shockbyte / Nodecraft / PebbleHost: mods not claimed on a Nightingale page (absent / 404). See Night 6.
Comparison: Nightingale plans
Price sources: every price comes from the host’s own Nightingale product page (checked 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, Coming Soon / waitlist, or the page URLs we tried returned 404 / non-product. Confirm at checkout.

Oceania note
Portal hops and combat in Nightingale still punish long routes when the squad is in the same city together. AU/NZ groups should shortlist Bisect’s claimed Australia option among 21 locations (confirm stock), then Apex EX / APAC hardware (Ryzen 7 5800X called out on the Nightingale page — confirm an AU node at checkout). GameTeam claims worldwide / changeable locations but did not name Sydney / Melbourne / Auckland on the Nightingale markup we read. Shockbyte, Nodecraft and PebbleHost were not confirmed on a sellable Nightingale marketing page — Enshrouded / Valheim / Core Keeper / V Rising Oceania notes do not transfer here. See the Oceania ping guide.
Budget note and shortlist (not rankings)
- Labeled under ~$20 recurring with a printed Nightingale minimum: Apex 4 GB, $14.99/mo ($11.24 first month disclosed). BisectOne ~/GB can sit under $20 at 4–6 GB if $2.99/GB holds and stock exists. GameTeam Budget $/GB is the lowest printed rate — confirm location + whether LIMITED10 is first-month only.
- Want AU option on a swap-friendly plan: BisectHosting Nightingale — only if your location is in stock.
- If Shockbyte / Nodecraft / PebbleHost are absent: use Apex, GameTeam or Bisect first; home CTAs for the others if you want to ask support whether Nightingale is coming.
- Similar co-op survival nights: Enshrouded (Night 15), Valheim friend server (Night 61), Core Keeper (Night 18), V Rising (Night 14). Also budget under ~$20 and Oceania ping.
