How do you create a Farming Simulator 25 server?

"Creating a server" doesn't mean the same thing depending on your ambitions. Bringing three friends together on a Sunday afternoon and keeping a shared farm alive over several weeks call for two very different setups. Here are both paths, with what each one really demands of you.

Quick method: hosting a game from the client

Launch the game

In Multiplayer then Create Game, choose the map, the number of players, a name and a password. Everything starts from your game client, in a few clicks.

The wall of ports

For your friends to join from the outside, you often have to open ports on the router and share your IP. A dynamic IP, a home firewall and above all the CGNAT used by some ISPs block many players here, sometimes with no simple fix.

The trade-offs to accept

• The host PC has to stay on: as soon as it closes the game, the farm stops for everyone.
• The machine shares its power between your game and the server, hence the slowdowns.
• No Anti-DDoS and your personal IP is exposed to the other players.

Durable method: the official Dedicated Server

GIANTS provides a genuine FS25 dedicated server, designed to run without launching the game. You drive it from a web interface in the browser: map selection, activation of ModHub mods, game settings, startup. No game client stays open, the simulation moves on by itself.

Installed at home, you have to maintain it (ports, updates, backups). Installed at a host, it arrives preconfigured: a web interface accessible immediately, a FlyPanel for installation and backups. You then fine-tune the settings as explained in how to configure a dedicated FS25 server.

A decision marker: if your game has to survive your PC being switched off, you aren't looking for a hosted session, you are looking for a Dedicated Server.

Create yours in seconds

At Fly-Serv, we skip the installation: renting a dedicated Farming Simulator 25 server is delivered instantly, with its web interface, an address ready to share and Anti-DDoS included, from €4.49/month on Ryzen 9 7950X3D hardware. Then add your mods on the FS25 server or open your FS25 server directly.
