The Sons of the Forest Server Hosting by The Scrap Yard review
Flexible weekly or monthly hosting for groups from approximately 8 to 64 slots.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
The Sons of the Forest Server Hosting by The Scrap Yard provides hosted dedicated servers for groups that want configurable capacity, mod support, and direct file access. Its plans start with the Starter Rig at approximately 8 slots and extend to The Full Yard at approximately 64 slots. The service runs through a web control panel and includes console and file-browser access, making it suitable for players who want more control than a basic game-server package offers.
Pricing is available by the week or month across three plan levels. Starter Rig costs $2.99 per server per week or $7 per server per month, with 8 GB RAM, 75 GB NVMe storage, approximately 8 slots, basic mods, DDoS protection, and automatic backups. Scrap King costs $5.99 per week or $15 per month and adds 16 GB RAM, 100 GB NVMe storage, approximately 20 slots, full mod and plugin support, priority support, and automatic backups. The Full Yard costs $10.99 per week or $35 per month, with 32 GB RAM, 150 GB NVMe storage, approximately 64 slots, dedicated resources, top-priority support, and a best-effort uptime SLA.
The strongest fit is a group that values flexible billing and practical server administration tools. One-click deployment, automated rolling backups, one-click restore, SFTP, full file access, and a web console support ongoing configuration work. Mod and plugin support is available, although the Starter Rig is limited to basic mods and full support begins with Scrap King. The product page documents Dallas nodes for Sons of the Forest, so it suits users comfortable with that hosting location. Groups needing another platform, or an uptime commitment beyond a best-effort SLA, should consider alternatives.
