How does Windrose run on Linux servers?

Windrose uses a Wine compatibility layer that we pre-configure on our Linux servers. You do not need to install or configure Wine yourself. The server binary runs through Wine automatically.

How much RAM does a Windrose server need?

A small crew exploring early game runs on 2GB. A mid-size group with bases and active piracy is comfortable on 8GB. Large pirate empires with many structures benefit from 16GB or more.

Is DDoS protection included?

Yes, on every Windrose plan at no extra cost.

Can I upgrade my plan later?

Yes. You can move to a higher tier without rebuilding your server.

Does the server keep running when nobody is playing?

Yes. The dedicated server stays online and simulates the world whether or not anyone is connected.

Windrose Hosting, Wine Runtime Handled

Windrose is a pirate survival game that runs its dedicated server as a Windows binary. On our Linux infrastructure, this means Wine. We pre-configure the Wine runtime so you do not need to set it up manually. The server installs and starts automatically after checkout.

Our tiers scale from a small Dinghy (2GB) for early exploration to the Man O'War (32GB) for large pirate empires with sprawling bases and big crews. Every tier includes NVMe storage, DDoS protection, and panel access.

Available in Netherlands, Germany, Poland, Canada, USA (California), USA (Virginia), Singapore, India, and Australia. Check our blog for setup guides, or contact us if you need help choosing a tier.
