Schedule I dedicated hosting for a small friend group (2026)
Schedule I (TVGS; most host catalogs spell it Schedule 1) is a multiplayer open-world crime / business sim sold as a Steam product — this page compares who sells a dedicated plan for a passworded Discord of friends, at what recurring bill, with which Oceania story. It is not the same product page as Valheim, Palworld, Core Keeper, or Lethal Company (different engines, host SKUs, multiplayer model, and RAM floors). Shockbyte and BisectHosting sell labeled Schedule 1 plans we could read. Apex Hosting, Nodecraft, GameTeam and PebbleHost Schedule 1 / Schedule I page URLs we tried returned 404 or did not expose a sellable Schedule I 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: Schedule I friend hosting is a small-co-op niche — typically a Discord of a handful of players on one persistent world, not a public browser list. Shockbyte’s labeled ladder is Peddler · 4 GB · 4 players · $11.49/mo, Operator · 6 GB · 8 players · $16.99/mo, Kingpin · 8 GB · 16 players · $19.99/mo. A 2–4 friend night often matches Peddler; a fuller Discord of ~5–8 usually wants Operator. You do not need Kingpin’s 16-slot card for six Discord friends.
- RAM honesty (host claims only): Shockbyte prints 4 / 6 / 8 GB on those three tiers. BisectHosting prices Schedule 1 as BisectOne ~/GB (llms.txt / plan copy ~$2.99/GB/mo — confirm the live total and stock at checkout; example math only: 4 GB ≈ $11.96 · 6 GB ≈ $17.94 if $2.99 holds). Apex / Nodecraft / GameTeam / PebbleHost published no Schedule I GB floor on a sellable marketing page today. Do not reuse Valheim, Palworld, Core Keeper or Lethal Company RAM tables — those are different products.
- Dedicated / mods (host claims only): Schedule I has no official first-party dedicated-server SKU in the host copy we read. BisectHosting’s Schedule 1 page and blog claim hosting via their partner HyTeKGames SDS community dedicated path (client + server mod stack; panel tools claimed). Shockbyte’s Schedule 1 page claims Mod Support, Full File Access, Easy Configuration, Automatic Backups, DDoS, and Global Locations — it does not name SDS on the markup we read; treat Shockbyte mods as “claimed Mod Support + file access,” not a specific one-click SDS badge. Apex / Nodecraft / GameTeam / PebbleHost: mods not claimed on a Schedule I page (absent / 404). See Night 6.
Comparison: Schedule I / Schedule 1 plans
Price sources: every price comes from the host’s own Schedule 1 / Schedule I 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
Small-friend Schedule I sessions 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 Shockbyte (Melbourne company; global locations claimed — confirm a Schedule 1 AU node at checkout). Apex, Nodecraft, GameTeam and PebbleHost were not confirmed on a sellable Schedule I marketing page — Valheim / Palworld / Core Keeper / Lethal Company Oceania notes do not transfer here. See the Oceania ping guide.
Budget note and shortlist (not rankings)
- Labeled under ~$20 recurring: Shockbyte Peddler 4 GB / 4 players, $11.49/mo; Operator 6 GB / 8 players, $16.99/mo; Kingpin 8 GB / 16 players, $19.99/mo. BisectOne ~/GB can sit under $20 at 4–6 GB if $2.99/GB holds and stock exists.
- Want SDS panel path + AU option: BisectHosting Schedule 1 — only if your location is in stock; read their client/server mod requirements on the host page before you pay.
- If Apex / Nodecraft / GameTeam / PebbleHost are absent: use Shockbyte or Bisect first; home CTAs for the others if you want to ask support whether Schedule I is coming.
- Similar friend-server nights: Valheim friend server (Night 61), Palworld (Night 3), Core Keeper (Night 18), Lethal Company (Night 63). Also budget under ~$20 and Oceania ping.
