Conan Exiles Server Hosting
Survive the Exiled Lands, raise a stronghold and rule with your clan while the AI copilot keeps the world turning.
What do you need to host a Conan Exiles server?
To host a Conan Exiles server yourself you need 8–12 GB of RAM free, the free Conan Exiles Dedicated Server (Steam app 443030, Windows or Linux), UDP ports 7777, 7778 and 27015 open to the internet, and your rules written into ServerSettings.ini. Renting skips all of that. With GameTeam's Conan Exiles server hosting you pay per GB of RAM, from $0.49/GB a week, you never buy slots, and the AI copilot changes settings, keeps your mod load order straight and reads the log when players can't get in.
Run your Conan Exiles server by just asking.
A Conan server lives in two files: ServerSettings.ini for the rules and modlist.txt for the mods. Say what you want and the copilot edits them, restarts when a change needs it, and reads the log when a Workshop update locks the gates.
Built to Outlast the Clan
Weeks or years, the world is at the same address; the fortress does not depend on anyone's PC.
Mod Load Order, Handled
The copilot manages modlist.txt and tells you when a Workshop update needs a restart to unblock joins.
Unlimited Slots
Bring the whole clan and its rivals — the plan is per GB, not per player.
Conan Exiles with friends
A brutal survival game set in the world of Conan: hunt, build, enslave thralls to work your fortress, and go to war with the clans around you. It rewards ambition — the biggest bases in the Exiled Lands are monuments to months of play.
Conan Exiles server RAM requirements
8-12 GB. Structure count is the main driver, and it only grows on a long-lived server.
| Your server | Starting RAM | From (Budget, weekly) |
|---|---|---|
| Up to 10 players, a clan or two | 8 GB | $3.92 / week |
| 10–35 players, or a modded world | 10 GB | $4.90 / week |
| 40+ players, sprawling bases, long modlist | 12 GB | $5.88 / week |
Walls, foundations and thralls fill a Conan server's memory faster than players do, and a world that has run for months still carries every piece anyone ever placed. The Conan Exiles wiki's hardware table goes from 8 GB for a 10-player server to 12 GB for 50 players and up. Start there and add RAM from the panel in one click as the bases grow. Player limit: 20-40 is typical for a public server.
How to set up a Conan Exiles server on GameTeam
Pick RAM and a location
8 GB is plenty for a clan of friends; take 12 GB for a busy public server or a long modlist. Put it near the bulk of your clan, in one of 25+ locations across Europe, the Americas and Asia-Pacific.
Write the rules
PvE or PvP, raid hours, harvest rate, clan size: tell the copilot, or edit ServerSettings.ini in the file manager. Coming from another host? Our support team can migrate your existing server for you.
Send your clan the address
Your panel shows the server address. In the in-game server browser, use Direct Connect with that address and the password if you set one, then favourite the server so the next join is one click.
Good to know before you start
The mod load order in modlist.txt matters: two mods that both alter the same item behave differently depending on which loads last.
The most common problem
A mod updating on the Workshop while the server is running causes a version mismatch that blocks every player until the server restarts and pulls it too.
Conan Exiles server settings explained
Gameplay rules live in ConanSandbox/Saved/Config/WindowsServer/ServerSettings.ini under [ServerSettings] (LinuxServer on the Linux build). The server name and join password sit in Engine.ini in the same folder, under [OnlineSubsystem]. Once you are admin, most of these can also be changed in game from the Server Settings tab. These are the ones clans fight about:
| Setting | What it does |
|---|---|
ServerName | The name in the server browser (Engine.ini). |
ServerPassword | Password players need to join (Engine.ini). Leave it empty for a public server. |
AdminPassword | The password for Make Me Admin, which unlocks the admin panel and commands. |
PVPEnabled | Player-versus-player on or off. Only changes after a restart. |
CombatModeModifier | Set to 1 together with PVPEnabled for PvE-Conflict rules. |
CanDamagePlayerOwnedStructures | Lets players damage other players' buildings, which is what raiding needs. Requires PVPEnabled. |
RestrictPVPBuildingDamageTime | Limits raiding to set hours. Each day gets its own PVPBuildingDamageTime[Day]Start and End, written as 24-hour numbers like 1800. |
HarvestAmountMultiplier | How many resources each hit gathers. |
PlayerXPRateMultiplier | Multiplies every kind of XP players earn. |
ItemConvertionMultiplier | Crafting time (the game really spells it that way). Below 1 crafts faster. |
ThrallConversionMultiplier | How long thralls take to break. Below 1 is faster. |
UseMinionPopulationLimit | Caps thralls and pets per clan: MinionPopulationBaseValue (default 50) plus MinionPopulationPerPlayer (default 5) for each member. |
ClanMaxSize | Maximum members per clan. The default is 30. |
DisableBuildingAbandonment | Turns building decay off, so absent players keep their bases. Needs a restart. |
EnableWhitelist | Only players on the whitelist can join. |
Conan Exiles server commands
Set AdminPassword first (or ask the copilot to). In game, open the console with Insert or ~ and type MakeMeAdmin yourpassword, or press Make Me Admin in the Server Settings tab. These then work from your console:
| Command | What it does |
|---|---|
MakeMeAdmin <password> | Gives you admin rights. MakeMeNormal drops them again. |
ShowPlayers | Lists who is online, with their Steam names and IDs. |
TeleportToPlayer <name> | Takes you to a player. SummonPlayer <name> brings them to you, handy for anyone stuck. |
BroadcastMessage <message> | Pops a message up for everyone online. Players have to click it away, so keep it short. |
GetServerHealth | Shows server FPS, player count, base count and total building pieces: the quickest lag check there is. |
GetAllServerSettings | Prints every server setting, including the ones the menu hides. |
SetServerSetting "<setting>" "<value>" | Changes a ServerSettings.ini value from in game. The quotes are required. |
Ghost / Fly / God | Admin movement and invulnerability for building and moderating. Walk ends fly and ghost mode. |
Can I add mods to a Conan Exiles server?
Yes, through Steam Workshop. Mods are listed in modlist.txt in load order and must match on clients.
Each mod is a .pak file in ConanSandbox/Mods, and modlist.txt lists them one per line in load order. Players who join without the right mods are offered a download of the missing ones. On Conan Exiles Enhanced, pick Workshop mods tagged Enhanced, and never rename a mod's .pak file: a renamed pak fails to load. The dedicated server guide walks through it.

What server owners say
"Honestly didn't expect much from an 'AI manager', but it's how I run my server now. I'll type something like 'why did the server crash last night' and it actually reads the logs and tells me."
Verified review
"I'd been on two other hosts before this. What sold me was the AI manager catching a memory leak in one of my mods and naming the exact one — something I'd been chasing for weeks."
Verified review
"I'm not very technical and setting up servers always stressed me out. Now I just ask the assistant to fix a config, and it either walks me through it or does it for me."

Conan Exiles server hosting FAQ
How much does it cost to rent a Conan Exiles server?
You pay per GB of RAM: $0.49/GB a week on Budget, or $1.99/GB billed monthly, so the Conan Exiles server cost depends on RAM alone. The cheapest Conan Exiles server that still runs a clan well is 8 GB, at $3.92 a week; a 12 GB community server is $5.88 a week. You never buy slots, and the AI copilot is included.
Can I host my own Conan Exiles server?
Yes, on PC. The Conan Exiles Dedicated Server is a free Steam tool (app 443030) for Windows and Linux, and Funcom's free Dedicated Server Launcher handles updates, Workshop mods and the basic settings. You need a machine that stays on, 8 GB or more of free RAM and UDP 7777, 7778 and 27015 forwarded. The Conan Exiles dedicated server guide covers every step. If you would rather not keep a PC running all week, that is what Conan Exiles dedicated server hosting is for.
Is there a Conan Exiles server rental for Xbox One or PS4?
Not from us. Funcom only lets you host a server on PC, and a player can only join a server running the same version of the game: Xbox and PlayStation stay on the original Unreal Engine 4 version with their own servers. Console private servers are rented from Funcom's official server partner. GameTeam servers are for PC players.
How many players can join a Conan Exiles server?
The cap is the server's MaxPlayers value, and 20–40 is typical for a public server. Bigger is possible with enough RAM and a fast CPU: the wiki's hardware table goes up to 70 players on 12 GB. GameTeam never charges per slot, so the only limits are the game's and the RAM you choose.
Why can't anyone join after a mod update?
A Workshop mod updated while the server was still running, so players now have a newer version than the server and the join is refused. Restart the server so it pulls the update too. On GameTeam the copilot reads the log, names the mod and does the restart for you.
How do I become admin on my Conan Exiles server?
Put an AdminPassword into ServerSettings.ini and restart the server. Once you are in the world, the Server Settings tab has a Make Me Admin button; the console route is MakeMeAdmin followed by your password. You know it worked when "Admin Rights Granted" shows up in the top-right corner.
What is the best server host for Conan Exiles?
Look for enough RAM for long-lived bases (8–12 GB), a location close to your clan, Workshop mod support, backups and billing that doesn't lock you in. GameTeam covers all of that with weekly billing from $0.49/GB, 25+ locations, and an AI copilot that handles ServerSettings.ini, modlist.txt and the logs for you.
Is Conan Exiles still worth playing in 2026?
On Steam it just got a second life. Conan Exiles Enhanced, a free Unreal Engine 5 upgrade, arrived on May 5, 2026 with new visuals, multiple single-player characters per account, and the Exiled Lands and Isle of Siptah joined into one world that a single server can run (Siptah still needs its DLC).
