How much RAM does a Squad server need?

More than most games. Squad layers are large and heavily populated, so 8GB is a realistic floor rather than a comfortable size. A public 50 player server is happier on 16GB, and 100 player layers with a modded rotation are where 24GB and 32GB earn their place.

What changes between a 50 and a 100 player server?

Both memory and CPU. Twice the players means twice the entity updates, twice the vehicle and projectile traffic, and far more contested points at once. It is not a linear step up, which is why we price those tiers separately rather than selling one plan for everything.

Can I run Steam Workshop mods?

Yes. Add mod collections through the panel. Bear in mind that every player needs the same mods, and a modded map rotation is the single biggest driver of memory use on a Squad server.

Do players need to download mods before joining?

Yes, for modded servers. Squad will prompt joining players for missing mods, but a large collection means a real wait on first join, so most communities publish their collection link up front.

Which regions can I host in?

Netherlands, Germany, Poland, Canada, USA (California), USA (Virginia), Singapore, India, and Australia. Pick the region closest to most of your community in the plan selector above.

Is DDoS protection included?

Yes, on every Squad plan at no extra cost.

Can I switch tiers as my community grows?

Yes. Start on the tier that matches your current player count and move up when you outgrow it. Your server files come with you.

Why does the server stutter when a point is contested?

That is almost always CPU rather than bandwidth. A contested point concentrates many players, vehicles and projectiles into a small area, which is the heaviest moment for the simulation and the honest benchmark for a Squad server.

Hardware

StandardDDoS included

AMD Ryzen 9 3900XDue to hardware shortages, the exact CPU can vary between similar AMD Ryzen 9 models, and RAM speed can vary between 2666 and 3200MHz (DDR4). We always aim for the fastest end of that range. The listed Ryzen 9 3900X-class single-thread performance, what matters most for gaming, stays similar or higher. The CPU is shared with other servers on the same node.

Ryzen 9 3900X-class Standard tier with NVMe storage and DDoS protection on every plan. There is no tier to pick: all plans for Squad in this region run on this hardware.

Sized for what Squad actually needs

A 100 player layer is a different machine to a 50 player one.

Built for Full Layers

Squad layers are large and heavily populated. Our tiers start at 8GB because anything less does not hold a real match together.

Steam Workshop Mods

Add mod collections through the panel. Modded map rotations are where most of the extra memory goes.

Tick Rate Headroom

Squad is demanding on CPU during contested points. Headroom is what keeps the server from stuttering at the worst moment.

NVMe SSD Storage

Large maps and mod collections load faster off NVMe, which shortens the gap between rounds.

DDoS Protection Included

Always on filtering on every plan, no add on required.

Nine Regions

Netherlands, Germany, Poland, Canada, USA (California), USA (Virginia), Singapore, India, and Australia, so your community plays close to home.

Squad Server Hosting Across 9 Regions

Squad is one of the more demanding games we host, and the reason is straightforward: layers are large, player counts are high, and the moments that matter are exactly the moments when everything is happening at once. A contested point with two full squads, vehicles and heavy fire is not an edge case, it is the whole game.

That is why our Squad tiers start at 8GB rather than the 2GB or 4GB that lighter games get away with. A private clan server on smaller layers works at 8GB. A public 50 player server is realistically a 16GB machine. Once you are running 100 player layers with a modded map rotation, 24GB and 32GB stop being generous and start being necessary.

Every tier includes Steam Workshop mod support, NVMe SSD storage, DDoS protection, and a choice of Netherlands, Germany, Poland, Canada, USA (California), USA (Virginia), Singapore, India, or Australia. If you are unsure which tier your community needs, contact us with your expected player count and we will size it honestly.
