Conan Exiles Dedicated Server Hosting Guide (2026)
Conan Exiles servers can run for months when the rules, mods, and hardware are chosen well. The world is persistent, bases grow, clans store huge inventories, and mods can change almost every part of the game. A dedicated server gives your community a stable home instead of relying on one player's PC.
Recommended server specs
Conan Exiles needs more headroom than lightweight co-op games, especially with mods and active clans.
- Small private PvE: 6-8GB RAM, 3-4 cores
- Modded PvE community: 12GB RAM, 4-6 cores
- PvP or busy public world: 16GB+ RAM and strong single-core CPU
- Storage: NVMe SSD strongly recommended for saves and mod loading
The biggest mistake is starting too small and then adding mods, map rooms, thralls, and huge bases. Give the server RAM headroom before launch day.
PvE, PvP, or roleplay?
Conan Exiles feels different depending on rules. PvE servers should focus on decay, building limits, and friendly restart windows. PvP servers need raid windows, clear clan rules, and active moderation. Roleplay servers should document building rules, lore expectations, and admin contact methods from day one.
Mods and Workshop content
Mods are the heart of many Conan communities, but each mod increases update risk. Keep a written mod list, test updates before applying them to production, and make a backup before every major patch. If a mod breaks after a game update, temporarily removing it without a backup can damage the save.
Backups and restarts
Use automatic backups with multiple restore points. Schedule restarts during quiet hours to clear memory and apply updates. For PvP servers, announce restart times so players are not surprised during raids.
Hosting Conan Exiles on Space-Node
For a private Conan server, start around VPS-M or VPS-L depending on player count and mods. Space-Node VPS plans include Ryzen CPUs, NVMe SSD storage, DDoS protection, full root access, and Netherlands connectivity for low European latency.
