Raft Dedicated Server Hosting (RDS): Run Your Survival World on HolyHosting

The polar ice caps have melted, dry land is mostly a memory, and your entire world fits on a wooden platform with room to spare. That is the opening pitch of Raft, and HolyHosting now offers dedicated server hosting (RDS) so you can survive the flood alongside friends.

You begin with a Plastic Hook and very little else. From there you scavenge floating debris, purify water, fight off sharks, and slowly turn a barely seaworthy platform into something that could pass for a home.

Raft on a Dedicated Server, Explained

Raft is an open ocean survival sandbox developed by Redbeet Interactive and published by Axolot Games. It launched in Early Access on May 23, 2018 and grew through years of community feedback. With RDS, you can run a persistent world that stays online whether the host is in game or not, so progress sticks even when everyone logs off.

Co-op Without a Hard Cap

Solo Raft works. Multiplayer Raft works better. There is no built in player ceiling, so you can sail with a single buddy, a group of five, or a small fleet of ten plus.

The Hook

Every survivor begins with the Plastic Hook, the entry level tool for snagging debris drifting past the raft. Better hooks unlock quickly, last longer, and pull in more materials per cast.

Research, Craft, and Build

The Research Table turns raw blueprints into usable gear. Bee jars, backpacks, batteries, bows, spears: the list keeps growing as you collect more flotsam. It is a steady survival loop with real progression rather than random luck.

Diving for Loot

Drop the anchor and head down. The seabed hides resources worth collecting and a few residents that would rather collect you, including anglerfish, sharks, and poison puffers. Bring a spear.

Build a Floating Home

The starter platform is the start, not the goal. With enough materials you can stack multiple stories, set up crop plots, raise animals, and end up with a mansion that politely ignores the laws of buoyancy.
