Built for Enshrouded: sized to Keen's own numbers, with a password per role
Three things decide whether a rented Enshrouded server is worth the money: the memory floor, who can open your chests, and whether the world you already play in comes with you.
Room for the world before anybody even joins
Keen publish the numbers, which is rare: an idle Enshrouded server takes about 4.4 GB, each player adds up to 100 MB, and the total “should not use more than 6GB”. The floor is what you are buying — two players to sixteen adds barely 1.4 GB. Enshrouded server requirements: RAM, CPU and disk
Your chests stay shut without you writing an admin list
Enshrouded has no admins.txt — what a player may do is decided by which of four passwords they typed on the way in. Admin, Friend, Guest and Visitor are Startup fields, rewritten into the server config at every boot. Roles, passwords and admin commands · Enshrouded server settings and config file
Bring the world you already have, and nobody re-levels
Keen keep world progression on the server and character progression only on clients. So moving your solo world here is a file copy — bases, altars and shroud progress intact — and nobody re-levels, because characters never left.

Powerful Server Management
Every server comes with our feature-rich game panel — manage your server from anywhere with no technical expertise required.
Live Server Console
Monitor your server in real time with a built-in console, live CPU, memory, and network graphs, plus one-click start, restart, and stop controls.
Full File Manager
Browse, upload, edit, and manage all your server files directly from the panel — no FTP client needed. Drag and drop uploads, bulk actions, and more.
Startup Configuration
Fine-tune every aspect of your server with an intuitive variable editor. Selects, toggles, and validated inputs replace fragile command-line flags.
One-Click Backups
Create on-demand or scheduled backups with one click. Lock critical snapshots, download them for offsite storage, or restore any of them yourself.
Network & Allocations
Every server gets a dedicated port allocation behind always-on DDoS filtering. Ports are assigned when the server is built and matched to our firewall rules, so the ones your server needs are open before you log in.
Global Server Network
Pick a data center close to your players. The times below are measured live from your own connection, not quoted from ours. View all locations.
Enshrouded servers deploy from four locations. Dallas sits in the middle of North America and is the usual default for a community spread across the United States. Ashburn covers the East Coast and is the shorter hop for players in the eastern states and eastern Canada. London serves the UK, Ireland and the western edge of Europe, and Frankfurt sits central for Germany, the Nordics, the Benelux countries and most of Eastern Europe. Between them the four cover North America and Europe end to end.
The figures beside each city were measured by your own browser a moment ago, so read them as a fair guide to what players near you will see rather than a number we picked. If you choose the wrong one, moving is free: open a ticket and support migrates your server files to any available location at no charge.

“This is the first time in my life that someone actually tried to help around this world of VPS/dedicated servers. Rene isn't good, he is amazing! Gave total attention, made recommendations. I am looking forward to migrate my services to GameServerKings because of Rene. I appreciate the attention once again.”

Outgrowing a shared Enshrouded server?
For larger Enshrouded communities — or when you're running a fleet of high-performance instances — a dedicated machine gives you the whole box: every core, all the RAM, and no noisy neighbors. You decide how it's run.
Run it on our game panel
Hand us the machine and we deploy it onto the same GameServerKings panel you already know — one-click installs, mods, backups, and 24/7 support, managed on your behalf.
Or manage it yourself
Prefer full control? Take root access and run it your way. The box is yours end to end — we just keep the hardware and network humming underneath.
Enshrouded Knowledge Base
Guides for installing, configuring, and troubleshooting your Enshrouded server.
Enshrouded
Hand out the right password to the right friend, then kick or ban from the player list when it goes wrong.
Keep the world up when the host logs off, and hand friends the filter setting that makes it visible at all.
Find out why your difficulty settings are being ignored, and edit the config without stopping the server booting.
Know what to provision before you pay for it. An idle world wants 4.4 GB, and a full sixteen players add only 1.6 GB.
A running server that nobody can see is usually a client-side filter, not a fault. Ports and passwords come next.
Back up and restore an Enshrouded world: the four files in savegame/, how often the server writes, and Keen's supported rollback via the -index latest key.

How quickly will my server be ready?
Your Enshrouded server is provisioned automatically within about a minute of payment. You'll receive login credentials to your inbox so you can connect straight away.
Do game updates install automatically?
Yes. Your Enshrouded server is kept on the current game build automatically — you don't need to patch it by hand or open a ticket when the game updates.
Can I install mods and plugins?
Absolutely. You have full file access via our control panel and FTP/SFTP. Install any mods, plugins, or custom configurations — we don't restrict what you run on your server.
What if I need to upgrade my resources?
Upgrading is instant. You can change your memory, storage, or CPU priority from your client area at any time without any downtime or server migration.
Is DDoS protection included?
Yes. Every Enshrouded server includes enterprise-grade DDoS mitigation at no extra charge. We absorb attacks at the network edge — your players won't notice a thing.
Are backups included?
Yes, and in two ways. Your Enshrouded server is backed up automatically every 24 hours to off-site storage, so there is a recent copy to fall back on if the machine itself fails — you do not have to set anything up for that. On top of it, every plan includes five backup slots in the control panel that are yours to use: take one with a single click before a wipe, an update or a mod install, or set a schedule so they run on their own, and restore or download any of those five whenever you like. Neither costs extra.
Do I need a dedicated IP?
Only if you want one. A dedicated IPv4 address gives your Enshrouded server its own entry in the in-game server browser and puts it on the game's default port, so players can connect by typing just the IP address. Without one your server shares an IP with other servers and uses its own port instead — it runs exactly the same and your friends can still join, they just need the IP and the port together. It costs $5.00 a month if you decide you want it.
Do you offer a money-back guarantee?
We offer a 72-hour money-back guarantee. If you're not satisfied for any reason within the first 72 hours, contact us and we'll issue a full refund — no questions asked.
Can I switch server locations?
Yes. Contact our support team and we'll help you migrate your server data to any of our available locations at no charge.
Still have questions?
Our support team is available 24/7 and typically responds in under 5 minutes.
