5 Best Enshrouded Server Hosting Providers (2026), Compared

Looking for a managed Enshrouded server? Skip the setup and get one live in minutes with Host Havoc Enshrouded Server Hosting. Owned Xeon and Ryzen hardware with NVMe storage, 8 GB of RAM in every plan, offsite backups, migration from your current host, and 24/7 support included.

Enshrouded 1.0 launches on October 15, 2026 on PC and PS5, and a lot of groups are about to discover the same thing: Embervale is a big, persistent world, and it plays best on a server that stays online when the host goes to bed.

Renting from an Enshrouded dedicated server hosting provider is the easy way to get there. But Enshrouded hosting isn't one-size-fits-all. Keen's official server recommendations are heavier than most survival games, and the hosts below handle that very differently. Not every plan comes with enough memory for a full 16-player world, and not every host tells you how much you're getting.

We compared five popular Enshrouded hosts on the features that actually matter for this game. Full disclosure: we're Host Havoc, so yes, we're on this list. We've kept the comparison to what each provider publishes about its own service.

Last updated: October 8, 2026. Features checked on each provider's website.

Quick Answer

The best Enshrouded server hosting for most groups is Host Havoc. It runs on hardware it owns and operates (Xeon and Ryzen CPUs, DDR4/DDR5 memory, NVMe SSDs), includes 8 GB of RAM in every plan with upgrades to 16 GB (Keen Games' official recommendation), and offers 14 server locations across North America, Europe and Asia-Pacific, offsite backups, migration from your current host, the option to switch your server to another game, and 24/7 support with an average response under 10 minutes. BisectHosting is a strong pick for groups that play many different games, and Indifferent Broccoli suits groups who want to try a server before committing.

At a Glance: 2026 Rankings

Rankings reflect the features each provider states on its own Enshrouded page as of October 8, 2026.

How We Evaluated Hosting Providers

Enshrouded has a few quirks that change what "good hosting" means. We scored each host on what it states, lists or advertises on its own pages:

• RAM headroom. Keen's official recommendation is 16 GB of RAM, even for a 4–6 player server. Small private worlds often run on less, but a full 16-player world with big bases needs room to breathe. We checked how much memory each plan includes, and whether the host says at all.
• Hardware. Enshrouded's server is heavy on CPU and memory. We looked at what each host runs on, and whether it owns its hardware or resells capacity from someone else.
• Player slots. Enshrouded supports up to 16 players per server. We checked whether each host offers the full range.
• Locations. Distance to the server matters more than raw CPU for how responsive the game feels. More locations means a better chance of one near your group.
• Backups. Enshrouded saves the world every 5 minutes. A host that keeps backups off the server protects you if something goes wrong, especially around big updates like 1.0.
• Support and migration. Launch week is when things break, and many groups are moving from somewhere else. Fast support and help switching hosts both count.

We did not factor pricing into the rankings, and we didn't use unverified third-party benchmarks.

The Providers, Compared

Claims reflect what each provider states, lists or advertises on its own pages.

1. Host Havoc: Best Overall

Host Havoc's Enshrouded servers come in sizes from 4 slots up to the full 16 players.

What sets it apart for Enshrouded is memory. Every plan includes 8 GB of RAM, and you can upgrade to 12 GB or 16 GB, which matches Keen's official recommendation and is what we suggest for 16-player servers. You choose your player count and your memory separately, so a small group building huge bases isn't forced into a bigger slot plan.

Host Havoc also owns and operates its own hardware rather than reselling capacity: Xeon and Ryzen CPUs, DDR4/DDR5 memory, NVMe SSDs and up to 10 Gbps uplinks. For a server as demanding as Enshrouded's, that control means consistent performance when your world gets big and your group is online at the same time.

You also get 14 locations across North America (New York, Montreal, Miami, Atlanta, Chicago, Dallas, Los Angeles, Seattle), Europe (London, Amsterdam, Frankfurt, Nuremberg) and Asia-Pacific (Singapore, Sydney). Servers are DDoS-protected, backups are stored offsite, and you get full FTP access plus a web console, file manager and log viewer through a modified TCAdmin v2 panel.

Already running a world somewhere else? We'll migrate your server from your current provider, so you don't lose your progress when you switch. And if your group moves on to something else, you can switch your server to a different game, so it isn't tied to Enshrouded.

Support is 24/7, with an average ticket response time under 10 minutes, and there's a 72-hour satisfaction guarantee. This fall, save 10% off new services for life by using code FALL at checkout! It's a seasonal promotion, so it may not be available after fall.

Good to know: Host Havoc's Enshrouded servers are for the PC (Steam) version only. PS5 players won't be able to join dedicated servers at the 1.0 launch; Keen Games is working on that for a future update.

Best for: groups who want a server sized properly for Enshrouded, close to their players, with backups and support they can count on.

2. BisectHosting: Best for Switching Between Games

BisectHosting's big selling point is flexibility: you can swap your server between 110+ games, which is useful if your group bounces between Enshrouded and other survival titles.

Bisect lists 21 worldwide locations, free DDoS protection, NVMe storage, 3 days of free backups, instant setup and its own Starbase control panel. Plans are sized by RAM, from 4 GB for up to 5 players to 12 GB for 11–16 players, with custom plans from 4 to 48 GB. Support is 24/7 with a 15-minute response target.

Best for: groups who play many different games and want one server for all of them.

3. Indifferent Broccoli: Best for Trying a Server First

Indifferent Broccoli sizes plans by player count from 1 to 16 players, and lists RAM as uncapped on every plan, which suits Enshrouded's memory-hungry server.

It offers a 2-day trial with no credit card required and a 7-day refund policy. Locations cover North America (San Jose, Dallas, Salt Lake City, Washington DC, Montreal), Europe (Frankfurt, Roubaix, Amsterdam) and Asia (Singapore, India). There's a simple control panel, a Discord bot for managing the server, DDoS protection and full file access.

Best for: groups who want to test a server before committing.

4. G-Portal: Flexible Rental Terms

G-Portal rents servers for a set period instead of a monthly subscription, which suits groups who only want a server for the 1.0 launch month. It has committed to supporting 1.0 as soon as it's released.

G-Portal lists 50 GB of backup space, multi-layered DDoS protection, NVMe hardware, servers ready in under 3 minutes, a mod loader, and slots up to 16 players. The thing to be aware of: it doesn't list RAM per plan on its Enshrouded page, so you can't see how much memory a 16-slot server gets.

Best for: groups who want a server for a fixed period, like launch month.

5. Shockbyte: Simple Fixed Plans

Shockbyte keeps it simple with three fixed plans: Ember (4 players, 3 GB RAM), Spark (8 players, 4 GB RAM) and Flame Altar (16 players, 5 GB RAM). It lists automatic backups, DDoS protection, a 99.9% uptime promise, 24/7 support and a 72-hour self-serve refund.

The catch for Enshrouded is memory. The largest plan includes 5 GB of RAM for 16 players, far below Keen's 16 GB recommendation. That can be fine for a small, casual world, but large bases and full lobbies may struggle.

Best for: small groups that want a fixed plan and no decisions.

Why Host Havoc Wins

Every host on this list can run an Enshrouded server. What tipped it for us:

1. Owned hardware. Xeon and Ryzen CPUs, DDR4/DDR5 memory, NVMe SSDs and up to 10 Gbps uplinks, owned and operated by us, not resold capacity.
2. Memory that matches the game. Enshrouded is one of the most RAM-hungry survival servers around. Starting at 8 GB and going up to Keen's recommended 16 GB, with memory chosen separately from slots, means you can size the server to how your group actually plays.
3. Locations on three continents. 14 locations, including Sydney and Singapore, so groups outside North America and Europe aren't stuck with high ping.
4. Offsite backups. With 1.0 resetting every character's skill tree and bringing a big content update, you want a backup you can restore from if anything goes wrong. Offsite backups don't disappear with the server.
5. Fast support during launch week. Under 10 minutes on average, 24/7.
6. Easy switching. Already on another host? We'll migrate your existing server, so your world comes with you. And when your group wants to play something else, you can switch the server to another game.

How to Choose an Enshrouded Host

• Count your players honestly. Many groups end up playing with 4–8 people, even if they plan for 16. Start smaller; you can usually upgrade later.
• Check the hardware. Fast CPUs and NVMe storage matter for a heavy server like Enshrouded's. A host that owns its hardware controls how busy each machine gets.
• Look at RAM, not just slots. Big bases and lots of terraforming use memory. If a plan doesn't list its RAM, ask before buying.
• Pick the closest location. For a co-op game like Enshrouded, a nearby server matters more than a slightly faster CPU.
• Switching hosts? Ask about migration. Moving an existing world by hand is fiddly. A host that migrates it for you saves time and avoids lost progress.
• Check backups before 1.0. Make sure you can restore a backup yourself, and take one before updating on launch day.
• Know the PS5 situation. PS5 players can't join dedicated servers at the 1.0 launch. Keen Games is working on it for a future update, so for now a rented server is for PC players only.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best Enshrouded server hosting?

For most groups, Host Havoc: owned Xeon and Ryzen hardware with NVMe storage, 8–16 GB of RAM, 14 locations, offsite backups, migration from other hosts and 24/7 support. BisectHosting is a good fit for groups that play many games, and Indifferent Broccoli for trying a server first.

Can I move my existing Enshrouded server to a new host?

Yes. Host Havoc migrates servers from other providers, so your world and settings come with you. If you'd rather do it yourself, back up your world save and server config on your old host, upload them to the new server, and check everything loads before inviting your group back.

Which Enshrouded host gives you the most RAM?

Indifferent Broccoli lists RAM as uncapped. Host Havoc includes 8 GB in every plan and lets you upgrade to 16 GB, Keen's official recommendation. BisectHosting sizes plans by RAM, Shockbyte's plans include 3–5 GB, and G-Portal doesn't list RAM.

Which Enshrouded server host has the most locations?

BisectHosting lists 21 locations and Host Havoc 14, including Sydney and Singapore. Indifferent Broccoli lists 10.

How much RAM does an Enshrouded server need?

Keen officially recommends 16 GB of RAM, even for 4–6 players. Small private worlds often run fine on less, but large bases and full 16-player lobbies benefit from the full amount. Keen also recommends a 6-core CPU for small groups (8 cores for 16 players) and about 2 Mbit/s of upload bandwidth per player.

Can PS5 players join an Enshrouded dedicated server?

Not at launch. Enshrouded 1.0 releases on PC and PS5 on October 15, 2026, but PS5 players won't be able to join dedicated servers at 1.0. Keen Games is working on it for a future update. Host Havoc's Enshrouded servers are PC only, and we'll update this post when PS5 support arrives.

Will Enshrouded 1.0 wipe my server?

No server wipe has been announced, but every character's skill tree resets at 1.0. Take a backup before updating. More in our Enshrouded 1.0 release guide.
