Enshrouded server hosting built for co-op survival.

Self-hosting Enshrouded from a home PC sounds cheaper on paper, but it rarely is once you factor in the realities. Enshrouded is a demanding server, and running it locally ties up your own machine, exposes your home IP and bandwidth to attack, and takes the world offline whenever your power, internet or PC has a wobble — so your friends can only play when you're online and hosting.

Renting a dedicated Enshrouded server solves all of this. EUGameHost includes always-on DDoS protection free on every plan, a 10 Gbps network, full FTP/SFTP access for mods and customisation, automatic backups and 24/7 support for when something needs a human. The world stays online around the clock, and with no contracts you can cancel anytime, so renting carries none of the long-term risk of buying and maintaining your own hardware.

Enshrouded is a performance-sensitive survival game, and the pressure points are dense combat, large vertical bases and a full co-op session all at once. When several players fight crowds of corrupted creatures while a sprawling base is loaded, the simulation load spikes — and a low-clock or oversold CPU produces the desync, rubber-banding and stutter that drives players away.

A strong CPU, fast memory and quick storage are what hold performance steady when it matters most. EUGameHost runs Enshrouded on high-clock CPUs (4GHz+) with generous DDR4 memory and NVMe 4.0 SSD storage, and rides a 10 Gbps network so bandwidth is never the bottleneck for world streaming and joining players.

CPU and memory

Enshrouded leans on clock speed for its simulation and combat, so high-frequency CPUs keep your server responsive at peak time. Generous DDR4 memory gives the world room to breathe as your bases grow and more players join, which is why our Recommended plan steps up to 24 GB for full 16-player sessions.

Storage and network

NVMe 4.0 SSDs slash the time it takes to load your world, save progress and stream Embervale's terrain to joining players. A 10 Gbps network keeps downloads and synchronisation fast, so big bases and busy sessions don't turn into long load screens.

Enshrouded supports co-op for up to 16 players, and our plans are sized to match that cap rather than padding out artificial slot tiers. The Basic plan suits a small group of friends, while the Recommended plan is built for a full 16-player session with extra RAM headroom for large shared bases and deep progression.

Because you can scale up or down anytime without losing world data, you don't need to guess perfectly on day one. Start with the plan that fits your group now and add resources before a big build or a busier session — there's no penalty and no downtime to your progress.

Part of the appeal of running your own Enshrouded server is making the world yours. EUGameHost's control panel lets you adjust XP gain, enemy scaling, crafting speeds and more without restarts, manage and whitelist players, and edit configuration directly — no command line required.

As the Enshrouded modding scene grows, our control panel is ready: you'll be able to install and manage mods without technical knowledge, and full FTP/SFTP access means you can add custom content and tweak your server freely whenever you like.

Enshrouded server hosting is priced mainly on the player capacity and memory headroom you need. A small co-op group costs very little to run, while a full 16-player session with large bases benefits from extra RAM — and the pricing reflects that.

EUGameHost's Enshrouded hosting starts from £8.73 per month for the Basic plan (up to 8 players, 16 GB RAM), with the Recommended plan at £15.00 per month (up to 16 players, 24 GB RAM). Billing is flexible: pay monthly, or commit further and save — quarterly saves 10%, semi-annual saves 20% and annual saves 25%. There are no contracts and you can cancel anytime, so you're free to scale your plan up before a big build and adjust it afterwards without penalty.

Location is the difference between responsive survival and a server that feels laggy for half your group. Enshrouded is sensitive to latency — combat, climbing and close interactions all come down to fractions of a second — so you want your server hosted as close as possible to the bulk of your players to keep ping low and synchronisation tight.

EUGameHost offers Enshrouded locations in the United Kingdom (London) and the United States (Dallas), with routing optimised for European and North American players. London is the natural home for UK and European groups, while Dallas serves North America with low latency.
