Our Enshrouded plans

Built for a CPU-bound game: every tier adds more vCores, from 4 to 16 players.

Version 1.0 available since October 15, 2026

Enshrouded has reached version 1.0: your server updates to the new version from the YorkHost panel. Take a backup before updating; for large builds, the Embervale plan leaves you some headroom.

Configuration

Your server, your rules

Everything lives in enshrouded_server.json, which you can edit straight from the YorkHost panel's file manager.

  • Server name

    Pick the name shown in the in-game server list so your friends can find you easily.

  • Passwords per role

    Each group has its own password: the one a player enters decides what they're allowed to do.

  • Difficulty and presets

    Start from a difficulty preset or switch to custom mode to fine-tune your world.

  • Managed environment

    The official dedicated server is built for Windows: we handle the environment and ports, so there's nothing for you to install.

Three role groups out of the box

  • AdminKick and ban, access inventories, edit and extend bases.
  • FriendsBuild and expand bases with you, based on the permissions you grant.
  • GuestsJoin and play with limited permissions, without touching your builds.

Each group's permissions (and reserved slots) are set in the same file.

Guide

Enshrouded server hosting: which plan to pick and how to set it up

Renting an Enshrouded server keeps your corner of Embervale online around the clock: friends can keep playing and building when the host is away, without slowing down anyone's PC or forwarding ports on a home router. Here's how to pick the right plan and get your server configured.

Which plan fits your group?

An Enshrouded server holds up to 16 players, a cap set by the game itself. The right plan mostly depends on how many people play at the same time and how ambitious your builds get.

These are guidelines: you can upgrade from your client area whenever your group grows.

A CPU-bound server

Enshrouded is fairly light on memory: a few gigabytes go a long way, even with a full group. The voxel world, enemies and building physics, on the other hand, lean hard on the processor, and clock speed matters more than core count. That's why every tier adds vCores.

The official dedicated server is built for Windows: we manage that environment and the ports for you. Since version 1.0 launched on October 15, 2026, worlds and bases keep growing: the Embervale plan keeps some headroom.

Configuring enshrouded_server.json: roles and difficulty

enshrouded_server.json sets the server name, the number of slots and the role groups. By default there are three groups (admins, friends, guests), each with its own password and permissions: kicking players, accessing inventories, editing or extending bases.

You can also pick a difficulty preset or switch to custom mode for finer control. Restart the server from the panel to apply your changes.

YorkHost panel, backups and support

You run your server from the YorkHost panel: live console, file manager, SFTP access, task scheduler and backups. Take a backup before each game update so you can roll back in a few clicks.

Our team answers 7 days a week on Discord for configuration, importing an existing world or troubleshooting.

Gcore Anti-DDoS included

Your game server protected by Gcore

Game servers are the first targets of DDoS attacks. The Gcore network automatically filters UDP and TCP floods before they reach your server: your community stays connected without their latency suffering.

How the protection works

  1. 1

    Traffic is analysed by Gcore

    Traffic arriving through our transit providers goes through the Gcore scrubbing network, spread across Europe, America and Asia.

  2. 2

    Attacks are filtered out

    Gcore absorbs volumetric attacks; our internal filters complement the filtering when needed.

  3. 3

    Only legitimate traffic gets through

    It is routed to your server in our Paris infrastructure, on our own network AS199415.

Filtered attacks

  • UDP flood

    The most common vector against game servers and real-time services.

  • SYN / ACK flood

    TCP connection exhaustion meant to make the server unreachable.

  • DNS, NTP, Memcached amplification

    Volumetric reflection attacks, absorbed upstream.

  • HTTP flood (L7)

    Request bursts targeting your websites, panels and APIs.

Standard protection or Premium Anti-DDoS option?

Standard protection covers most use cases. If your service is a frequent target or highly sensitive to downtime, a Premium Anti-DDoS option may be needed: it is available on all our offers.

Standard

IncludedShown on the diagram
  • Automatic Gcore mitigation with a generic filtering profile
  • No monitoring or filter tuning for your service
  • Part of the traffic may arrive directly through our Internet exchange points (IX) and peerings, without going through Gcore scrubbing

Premium option

On every offer
  • Dedicated filters, tuned to your service's traffic profile (game, web, API)
  • Priority support: attack follow-up and rule tuning with our team
  • All traffic is forced through Gcore: no bypass possible via IX

Available as an option on all our offers: VPS, game servers, web hosting, dedicated servers and reseller.

Request the Premium option

The 200+ Tbps figure is the capacity of Gcore's global network, not a capacity reserved for each server. The filtering profile depends on the service and the network, and YorkHost may change its mitigation providers.

Frequently asked questions

Everything you need to know about our Enshrouded servers

How much RAM does an Enshrouded server need?

Enshrouded is heavier on the CPU than on memory. 8 GB (Ember plan) is enough for a small group of 1 to 4 players, 10 GB (Flameborn) for 5 to 8 players and 14 GB (Shroudwalker) for a full 16-player server. The Embervale plan (20 GB, 8 vCores) adds headroom for large builds and version 1.0.

How many players can join my Enshrouded server?

The game caps a dedicated server at 16 concurrent players. Every plan can host up to 16 players; higher tiers mainly add CPU power so the game stays smooth when the server is full.

How do I password-protect my server and become an admin?

In enshrouded_server.json, each role group (admins, friends, guests) has its own password. The password a player enters when joining decides their group: log in with the admin group's password to get full permissions. Use a different password for each group.

How do I change the difficulty and server settings?

Open enshrouded_server.json from the YorkHost panel's file manager (or over SFTP), pick a difficulty preset or switch to custom mode to tweak the game settings, then restart the server to apply your changes.

Can I import my existing Enshrouded world?

Yes. With the server stopped, upload your save into the server's save folder using the file manager or SFTP. If you're unsure which files to move, our support team can help 7 days a week on Discord.

Will my server work with Enshrouded version 1.0?

Yes. Version 1.0 launched on October 15, 2026 and your server updates to it from the YorkHost panel. Take a backup before updating. If your server runs short on resources with 1.0, you can move up a tier from your client area.

Can my friends on console join my server?

Our dedicated servers host players on the PC (Steam) version of Enshrouded. The PS5 version launched with 1.0, but there is no cross-play between PC and PS5: PS5 players can't join a PC server. The Xbox version is expected in 2027.

Are mods supported on an Enshrouded server?

Enshrouded doesn't offer official mod support at this time. You customize your server through enshrouded_server.json: name, passwords, role groups, difficulty presets and settings.

How quickly is my Enshrouded server ready?

Setup is automatic: your server is installed a few minutes after payment. All that's left is to set its name and passwords, then find it in the in-game server list.
