The RanchersServer Hosting

The Ranchers is a country life sim for one to four players, set in an open world sandbox and published by Trophy Games. You leave the city behind, buy a patch of land and turn it into a working ranch: raise chickens, rabbits, goats and cows, plant and irrigate crops, craft fences, sprinklers and greenhouses at the workbench, then decorate the house however you like. Water and electricity cost money, so you sign contracts or build wells, wind turbines and solar panels and sell the surplus back to the village.

A ranch is a long term project, and the villagers keep sending daily orders whether or not your friends happen to be online. Hosting The Ranchers on a dedicated server means the farm exists independently of any one player, so somebody can log in for twenty minutes to water the greenhouse or feed the animals and everyone benefits. It also removes the usual peer-to-peer problem where progress freezes the moment the original host stops playing.

Game Host Bros will run The Ranchers servers on AMD Ryzen 9 9950X and EPYC processors with NVMe storage, in any of 15 global server locations. The panel will give you full file access for server configuration, automatic scheduled backups, quick restarts after an early access update, and enterprise-grade DDoS protection as standard. Free migrations are offered if you already have a ranch hosted somewhere else.

The Ranchers is available on Steam in early access for Windows, macOS and Linux, and supports cross-platform multiplayer, Steam Cloud saves and full controller support. Updates land often during early access, and server versions will be manageable from the panel so your group is never left behind on an old build.

The Ranchers server hosting will start at $9.99/mo from Game Host Bros. A dedicated The Ranchers server gets you instant setup, automatic backups, full configuration access and a choice of 15 global locations for your four player farm.
