Conan Exiles dedicated hosting for a small friend group (2026)
Conan Exiles (now “Enhanced”) needs a lot of RAM. Shockbyte’s smallest plan is 9 GB for 10 players. Unlike Grounded or No Man’s Sky, at least two of our tracked hosts do sell it. All prices below were read from the hosts’ own Conan Exiles pages.
RAM, slots and mods
- Up to 10 friends: 9 GB (Shockbyte Dragon Hatchling).
- Up to 20 players: 12 GB. 40+ players: 15 GB+ (Shockbyte’s tiers).
- Mods: both hosts use Steam Workshop mods. Shockbyte says you copy mod IDs from Workshop URLs into the panel’s mod list. Bisect advertises “Fully Integrated Steam Workshop Mod Support”. Big map mods add RAM, so move up a tier. See Night 6.
- PvE vs PvP and gathering rates are server settings, and both hosts expose them in the panel.

Oceania note
Melee combat and thrall pathing in Conan desync badly on long routes. AU/NZ groups should check for an AU node at checkout on Shockbyte or Bisect (watch Bisect’s stock) and ping-test before paying for a year. See the Oceania ping guide.
Budget note and shortlist (not rankings)
- Up to 10 friends: Shockbyte Dragon Hatchling 9 GB, $22.99. That’s just above the ~$20 budget.
- Heavy Workshop mod lists: Bisect. Price the RAM you need at checkout.
- Cheaper survival-builders: Valheim (Night 2), Enshrouded (Night 15), V Rising (Night 14).
- Games that need even more RAM: ARK (Night 11).
