# How To Connect To A Terraria Server

Connecting to a Terraria server allows you to join other players in a shared world, whether it's for cooperative building, exploration, or intense boss battles. Whether you're joining a friend's server or a public one, the process is straightforward once you have the right information. In this guide, we'll show you how to connect to a Terraria server step-by-step, ensuring you can dive right into the multiplayer action.

**Step 1:** Go to your [NameHero Client Area](https://www.namehero.com/clientarea.php). Here you can copy the **Server Address & Port**. You can also head over to the **Advanced Game Panel** by clicking the blue button as seen in the screenshot within the NameHero Client Area. Here you will be accessing the **Terminal** tab**.**
