Starting a Terraria server is easier than you might think! First, grab the dedicated server software from the Terraria website. It's free! Run the software on a PC that can be on 24/7 if you want your server up all the time. Open your router's port (default is 7777) to allow friends to join. Don't forget to give them your IP address. For a more detailed guide, the Terraria Wiki is a goldmine.
Honestly, hosting your own server can be a headache. Why not join one of the many public servers out there? Saves you the trouble.
I run my server with the Terraria server software and let me tell you, a stable internet connection and a decent PC make all the difference. Follow the official guide closely, and you'll be golden.
