Enshrouded
RENT A SERVER

Up to 16 players at once. For a full house we recommend 16 GB RAM; small groups of up to 4 run well on 8 GB.

Yes, at configurable intervals. On top you can create manual backups in the dashboard or set a backup schedule — belt and braces.

Server-side mods are still in development at Keen Games. Client-side mods via Nexus Mods already work — our mod recommendations are a good starting point.

The Shroud is the toxic fog covering large parts of the world. Together you push deeper — more players means more strength against the growing danger, with each player on their own Shroud timer.

Yes: upload your save folder via the file manager in the dashboard and continue on the server exactly where you left off.

With host-based hosting the world only runs while you are online. Your own server runs around the clock — friends play whenever they want, with better stability and no load on your own PC.

Every mcfreehost server ships with its own address such as yourserver.mc.mcfreehost.com right from the start. Rename it anytime from the dashboard — no ticket required.

Monitoring and database add-ons — Uptime Kuma, MariaDB, phpMyAdmin, Game Server Watcher — never carry a surcharge. For music and chat bots, the first slot you activate is included; every additional bot is billed on top, and the dashboard shows the exact cost before you switch it on.

Typical initial setup: about 10 minutes. Queues or large installations can take longer. Larger Steam installs can take a bit longer depending on the game.

No — you are on a subscription that renews monthly, and you can cancel it from the dashboard whenever you like; the same goes for turning off automatic renewal.

Yes. All game servers run in German data centres (Falkenstein and Limburg) connected to the major German exchanges — low pings for players across Germany, Austria and Switzerland, and solid latency for the rest of Europe.

The best provider is the one that shows you what you get before you pay: RAM, slots, location, price and cancellation terms. Here the price and resources are visible in the configurator before checkout, there is no minimum term and setup is automated — feel free to compare that with other offers.

Self-hosting costs power, time and a machine that runs around the clock; port forwarding, updates and backups are on you. A rented server is online within minutes, keeps running when your PC is off, and updates, DDoS protection and backups are included. For one or two friends on a single evening self-hosting is often fine — for a persistent world, renting pays off.
