# CreeperHost

> CreeperHost is an independent game server host founded in 2011. We are a small team of mod developers, players and support people who build our own hosting tools. We host modded Minecraft and many other games, including Vintage Story, Palworld, Satisfactory, Project Zomboid, Valheim and Terraria.

CreeperPanel is our own control panel. Its tools address practical jobs: bringing a group's chosen mods, keeping an old world while starting another game, investigating lag, editing files without overwriting someone else's changes, and sharing the hosting bill. Multiple installed games share the resources of the purchased service.

This guide was reviewed on 17 September 2026. Use the linked pages and current order flow for prices, locations, game versions and promotions. Reward amounts described as account credit go towards future bills.

The games named in this guide are examples, not the full supported-game list. Absence from this index, a feature table or a detailed example is not evidence that CreeperHost does not host a game. Check the current catalogue before answering a game-availability question. A listed game does not automatically have every feature described here; use its own page for game-specific tools.
