How to Host an Enshrouded Server – Step-by-Step Guide for Flameborn Adventurers

If you're ready to build bases, explore Embervale, conquer dungeons, craft legendary gear, and survive the deadly Shroud with friends, hosting your own Enshrouded server is the perfect way to control your world. Customize difficulty, progression, building limits, world persistence, and create a unique cooperative or community-focused environment.

This guide explains how to host your own Enshrouded server and why Citadel Servers is an excellent partner for your adventure across the Shroud.

Step 1: Choose a Reliable Hosting Provider

Enshrouded features a large open world, physics-driven combat, spellcasting, base building, dungeons, and resource-heavy crafting systems. With up to 16 players, heavy building, and large shared worlds, strong hardware and stable networking are essential.

Performance: High-frequency CPUs and NVMe SSD storage ensure stable simulation ticks, smooth combat, quick world loading, and responsive building mechanics—even in large, well-developed bases.

Network Quality: Low-latency connections help maintain smooth multiplayer sync, reliable enemy behavior, fast loot updates, and consistent movement—both above ground and deep in the Shroud.

Ease of Management: A clean control panel makes it easy to adjust server settings, manage backups, configure difficulty, and customize gameplay.

Support Availability: 24/7 support ensures you're never left stuck—especially useful for new server owners or players running large persistent worlds.

Citadel Servers provides all of this, offering the performance and stability needed for long-term Enshrouded adventures with friends or large communities.

Step 2: Order Your Hosting Plan

Setting up your Enshrouded server is quick and straightforward:

1. Go to the Enshrouded hosting page.

2. Choose how many player slots you want.

3. Pick your server location closest to your player base for the best ping.

4. Select any extras, like process priority, premium support, etc.

5. Proceed to checkout — once payment is confirmed, your server deploys automatically.

You’ll receive an email with your control panel login details and connection info within minutes.

Step 3: Configure Your Server

Once deployed, it’s time to personalize your Enshrouded world:

- Follow our Quick Start Guide

Then configure your gameplay experience:

Set your server name, description, password, and admin access.

Customize difficulty settings: enemy strength, death penalties, combat balance, loot behavior, and crafting progression.

Adjust building options, world persistence, resource regeneration, and cooperative settings.

Install mods or custom configurations via the Mod Manager or upload files using FTP/SFTP (if supported).

Configure automatic backups, scheduled restarts, and save management.

Edit advanced configuration files directly through the Citadel Control Panel.

All configuration is handled through an intuitive interface, designed for both beginners and advanced server owners.

Step 4: Launch and Play

Once your settings are ready, start your server with one click and invite your friends or community.

Players can join by searching the server browser or entering your server's IP and port directly.

From the Citadel Control Panel, you can monitor players, adjust settings, review logs, manage saves, restart the server, or apply new changes whenever needed.
