The Best Enshrouded Server Hosting

Hosting an Enshrouded server

Enshrouded's dedicated server supports up to 16 players, which makes it one of the friendlier co-op survival games to host for a bigger guild. The world is voxel-based and builds can get large, so memory and CPU use grow as your base and your player list do. The official server binary is Windows-only, so Linux hosts run it through a compatibility layer such as Proton or Wine. That works reliably, but it is worth asking your provider how they run it.

What to check

• RAM by group size. Community guidance suggests the server idles at a few gigabytes and grows with each connected player, with roughly 12 to 16 GB recommended for an 8 to 16 player world, and more if you add mods.
• CPU. A modern processor with good per-core speed matters more than a huge core count. Larger groups benefit from more threads.
• Storage. The server files are large, so choose a plan with enough SSD or NVMe space for the install, saves and backups.
• Bandwidth. A full server sends a fair amount of data to players, so a well-connected datacentre helps.
• Settings access. Difficulty, slot counts, roles and passwords are set in a config file, so look for a host with a simple panel or direct file access.
• Backups. Losing a large base hurts, so automatic backups and easy restores are worth having.
