Best Enshrouded server hosting: how to choose

Three ways to run a Enshrouded server

Before you compare hosts, it’s worth knowing you might not need one. Here is how the three ways to play Enshrouded with friends compare.

What to look for in a Enshrouded host

These are the things that matter for Enshrouded in particular. Each one says why, links the guide with the details, and says honestly what Wilderack does about it.

1. Enough RAM for your group

   Keen Games measures about 4.4 GB when the server is idle, plus up to 100 MB per player. Enshrouded server performance and lag fixes

   YesOn Wilderack: We sell Enshrouded from Sapling 6 GB, which suits a small group, and recommend Grove 8 GB for bigger groups up to 16.

2. Passwords for each group

   Enshrouded gives each group its own password. The one a player types decides whether they can build, open chests or only look around. How to make an Enshrouded server

   YesOn Wilderack: Friend, guest and admin passwords are in Settings, in plain words.

3. Settings that keep enemies in check

   The server runs every enemy, so enemy amount settings change the load more than you might expect, and every player slot adds load too. Enshrouded server performance and lag fixes

   YesOn Wilderack: Difficulty presets and custom settings are in Settings, and our performance guide says which ones cost the most.

4. Easy to find in the server list

   Dedicated servers only show with the dedicated server filter on, and a sleeping server drops out of the list. How to connect to your Enshrouded server

   With a catchOn Wilderack: Add the server to your Steam favorites once and it stays at the top of the list, even while it sleeps.

5. Backups of the world

   Characters live on each player’s PC, so a server backup is about the world: your bases and everything you built. Enshrouded server backups and moving your world

   YesOn Wilderack: A safe copy every time the server sleeps and every 10 minutes while it runs. Restore any of them yourself.

6. Mods

   Keen Games has no official mod support yet, and the server has no mod loader. Enshrouded server mods and what to change instead

   Not yetOn Wilderack: None. We don’t install unofficial tools either, because they can break with any update and damage saves.

What a cheap Enshrouded server costs

A cheap server is one with enough memory for your group, not the lowest price on a page. These are the plans we sell for Enshrouded, with the group size each one suits.

Monthly plans renew at the price shown, and you can cancel any time. A 3-day pass is a one-time payment that doesn’t renew. Prices in US dollars + applicable taxes.

Enshrouded’s idle memory sets the floor, so Sapling 6 GB is our smallest Enshrouded plan. Keen Games says every player slot adds load, so set the slots to your group’s size before you pay for more RAM.

Part of why the price is low: your server naps when nobody is playing, so you don’t pay for hours of an empty world. Your world and settings stay exactly as you left them.

Where Wilderack falls short

No host is right for every group. These are the reasons we might not be the one for yours.

• We are still testing whether joining wakes a sleeping Enshrouded server. Until we are sure, open your wake link before you play.
• No mods, because Enshrouded has no official mod support and we don’t install unofficial tools.
• PS5 players can’t join, because Enshrouded has no crossplay between PS5 and PC yet.
• Two regions so far: Europe and US East. Groups in Asia, Oceania or South America will have higher ping than with a host nearby.
• We are new, so we can’t show you years of uptime yet. A 3-day pass is the cheap way to try us first.
