Getting started
Your first hour on Enshrouded
1
Connect
Your address and port are on the server page in the panel. Paste the address into Enshrouded's multiplayer screen; if it asks for a port separately, use the one the panel lists — not one from a forum post.
2
Add your content
Upload through the panel's file manager, or over SFTP for anything large, then restart from the console.

When it misbehaves
Open a ticket from the billing portal — it is tied to your account, so we can find your server straight away. The FAQ covers backups, ports and RAM ceilings.
Enshrouded server requirements: RAM and players
Enshrouded needs 4 GB before anyone connects. These are the plans our calculator picks for a few common group sizes, using the same numbers as the calculator above.
| Players online | RAM needed | Plan | Monthly |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2 | 5.0 GB | 5 GB | $14.99/mo |
| 4 | 6.0 GB | 6 GB | $17.99/mo |
| 8 | 8.0 GB | 8 GB | $23.99/mo |
Access groups, players and updates
Enshrouded gives you four access groups — Admin, Friend, Guest and Visitor — each with its own password and its own permissions. Every new server gets a random password for each group; you can see and change them on the panel's Startup tab.
Server Name and Max Players (16 by default) are on the same tab. Automatic updates are on by default, so the server follows the current build on Steam.
The world is persistent: it keeps building up while your group is offline, and memory tracks how much you have built rather than how many people are online.
Enshrouded server hosting FAQ
How much RAM does an Enshrouded server need?
About 4 GB to start, and it grows with how much of the world your group has built. Allow about 0.5 GB per player. Sixteen players comes to about 12.0 GB, so the 12 GB plan.
How many players can join?
Max Players is on the Startup tab (16 by default).
How do the group passwords work?
Each server has four: Admin, Friend, Guest and Visitor. Give each friend the password for the level of access they should have. They are on the Startup tab and can be changed at any time.
How do I become admin?
Join with the Admin group password from the Startup tab. Your server is created with its own random one, so nobody else has it.
Does the world keep running when I log off?
Yes. The server stays online around the clock and the world persists.
How much does an Enshrouded server cost?
From $11.99 a month for 4 GB. Each extra gigabyte adds $3. Terms of 3, 6 and 12 months are 10%, 15% and 20% off, with no setup fee.
Can console players join?
No. Enshrouded's dedicated server is for the PC (Steam) version of the game.
Is DDoS protection included?
Yes, on every plan. Traffic is filtered at the network edge before it reaches your server.
Not sure about the size?
The calculator above uses the numbers we measured on our own Enshrouded servers — 4 GB to boot, about 0.5 GB per concurrent player. If you'd rather compare every plan side by side, they're on the pricing page.
