How to join your Terraria server Print

This article explains how players can join your Terraria server hosted on PlayNHost.

1. Find your server IP and port

1. Log in to the Client Area at https://playnhost.com/billing.
2. Go to Services → My Services and open your Terraria server.
3. On the Product Details page, note the IP / Hostname and Port.
4. Alternatively, you can log in to https://panel.playnhost.com, select your Terraria server and find the IP and port on the server dashboard.

Share these details with your friends in the format: IP:Port (for example, 123.45.67.89:7777).

2. Start your server from the Game Panel

5. Go to https://panel.playnhost.com and log in.
6. Select your Terraria server.
7. On the server dashboard, click Start.
8. Wait until the console shows that the server is fully online.

3. Join from the Terraria client

9. Launch Terraria on your PC.
10. From the main menu, click Multiplayer.
11. Click Join via IP.
12. Select the character you want to use.
13. When asked for the Server IP Address, enter your server IP (for example, 123.45.67.89).
14. When asked for the Port, enter your server port (for example, 7777).
15. Press Accept to connect.

4. If your server has a password

• If you configured a password in your Terraria server settings, the game will ask for it when players connect.
• Give your friends the correct password (watch capital letters and special characters).
• If they enter the wrong password, they will be refused connection.

5. Troubleshooting connection issues

• “Connecting…” then timeout
  Make sure:
  • The server is actually Online in the Game Panel.
  • The IP and port are typed correctly (no extra spaces).
  • You haven’t changed the port in config without updating what you give to players.
• Only some players can join
  Check if your server is full, if there is a password, or if any players are banned. Also confirm they are all using the same Terraria version.

If players still cannot join after checking these steps, please open a ticket from Support → Submit a Ticket and include your server IP, port and what error players see.
