Best Conan Exiles server hosting: how to choose

Three ways to run a Conan server

Before you compare hosts, it’s worth knowing you might not need one. Here is how the three ways to play Conan with friends compare.

What to look for in a Conan host

These are the things that matter for Conan in particular. Each one says why, links the guide with the details, and says honestly what Wilderack does about it. The checks that matter for every game, from ping to refunds, are in our guide to choosing a game server host.

1. Funcom’s OK to host

   Funcom’s license rules out using Conan Exiles commercially, and lists hosting among the services Funcom offers itself. How to make a Conan Exiles dedicated server

   Not yetOn Wilderack: We open Conan Exiles only once Funcom gives us its written OK. Until then, Conan Exiles orders stay closed.

2. Enhanced mods in the right order

   Mods for the old version don’t load on Enhanced, and mods load in the order of modlist.txt. Players get the server’s mods, in its order, when they join. How to add mods to a Conan Exiles server

   YesOn Wilderack: Add Workshop mods by ID in Settings, in load order. The server downloads them and writes modlist.txt on each start.

3. RAM for a world that grows

   Bases, placeables, thralls and pets all use memory, so a world after months of building needs much more than a new one. Leaving the Isle of Siptah out saves memory. Conan Exiles server requirements and performance

   YesOn Wilderack: Plans are sold by RAM, not player slots. We recommend Grove 12 GB always-on, and Grove 8 GB always-on suits up to about 10 players. The Isle of Siptah is a switch in Settings.

4. Backups of one busy database

   The world is one database, game_0.db, that the server writes all the time. A copy taken mid-write can be broken. Conan Exiles server backups and moving your world

   With a catchOn Wilderack: We back the world up only when the server is stopped, before every risky step and on your schedule, never mid-write.

5. Rules you can change in game

   Most settings in ServerSettings.ini can be changed in game by an admin and apply at once. A few, like PvP, need a restart. Conan Exiles server config reference

   YesOn Wilderack: PvP, raiding, rates, clan size and the server list region are in Settings, and the admin password is made for you.

6. Admin tools

   Admins use Make Me Admin and the admin panel to spawn items, move stuck players and clean up bases. Conan Exiles admin commands

   YesOn Wilderack: The panel’s console runs RCON commands like listplayers and broadcast without joining the game.

What a cheap Conan server costs

A cheap server is one with enough memory for your group, not the lowest price on a page. These are the plans we sell for Conan, with the group size each one suits.

Monthly plans renew at the price shown, and you can cancel any time. A 3-day pass is a one-time payment that doesn’t renew. Prices in US dollars + applicable taxes.

A cheap Conan Exiles server is a small, young one: Grove 8 GB always-on runs up to about 10 players. A busy or modded server needs Grove 12 GB always-on or more, and an old world keeps growing.

Conan servers have to stay on to stay on the public server list, so they never nap. That uses the memory around the clock, which is why always-on plans cost more.

Where Wilderack falls short

No host is right for every group. These are the reasons we might not be the one for yours.

• Conan orders aren’t open yet. Funcom's license rules out using Conan Exiles commercially and lists hosting among the services only Funcom may offer, and Funcom rents its servers through one partner. Conan Exiles opens on Wilderack once Funcom gives us its written OK.
• We can’t rent servers for Xbox or PlayStation. A PC server takes PC players only, and console servers are run only by Funcom and its partner.
• We keep nudity off on every Conan Exiles server, since our servers are for players 13 and up.
• No region is open yet: US East and Europe are coming soon. Groups in Asia, Oceania or South America will have higher ping than with a host nearby.
• We are new, so we can’t show you years of uptime yet. A 3-day pass is the cheap way to try us first.
