- Headroom for busy evenings, more players, and the mods and updates you add later.
By player count. Without mods (steam workshop); each step up in the calculator adds memory, disk and sometimes a core.

Dedicated server system requirements - Official Conan Exiles Wiki
Funcom's official servers run on Intel Xeon E3-1270 V6 3.80GHz Quad Core processors with 64 GB of memory
RAM: Small Server (up to 10 players): 8 GB. CPU: A quad-core processor (3.0 GHz or higher) is sufficient for smaller servers
Medium Server (10-30 players): 16 GB. For larger servers, consider using an 8-core processor or higher to ensure better performance
How the model is built
- Memory
- 4 GB plus 400 MB per player. The official wiki table gives 8 GB up to 35 players and 12 GB at 50 to 70, on hardware of its time; current hosting guides quote 16 GB for 10 to 30 players. The model (4 GB plus 400 MB a player) sits between the two.
- CPU
- 4 cores, one more for every 7 players. A hosting guide notes a quad-core (3.0GHz+) is sufficient for smaller servers, moving to 8 cores or more for larger ones; baseCores=4 with one extra core per 7 players reaches 8 cores by 30 players. A separate server-requirements guide states the server leans on CPU single-thread speed for simulating AI, thralls, and the Purge.
- Disk
- 30 GB for the server plus 20 GB for saves and backups, on SSD or NVMe. A hosting guide recommends starting with at least 50GB free for a small server, rising to 100GB or more for larger or modded servers with backups. installGB=30 plus growthGB=20 reaches that 50GB starting figure; scale toward 100GB for heavy mod use. SSD is explicitly recommended for fast data access.
- Bandwidth
- 500 kbit/s of upload per player. A hosting guide states a minimum of 5 Mbps upload for a small (~10 player) server and 10-20 Mbps for a larger, more active one, both of which work out to roughly 500kbps per player. Funcom's official wiki gives a flat minimum of 100 Mbit upload regardless of player count, which is a generous whole-machine floor rather than a per-player figure.
- Mods (Steam Workshop)
- Memory times 1.3 for some and 1.6 for heavy; a heavy load also adds a core.
Funcom's official wiki gives one flat minimum (4 cores, 8GB RAM, 100 Mbit upload) rather than a table by player count; the player-count scaling here comes from a widely used hosting guide, calibrated to match the official floor at low player counts. Some hosting guides report the 2026 Enhanced (Unreal Engine 5) update raised the dedicated server's CPU and RAM footprint by roughly 30-50% over the previous engine; this page should be treated as an approximate baseline that may need revisiting as more Enhanced-specific server data is published.

What drives the load
- The server leans on CPU single-thread speed to simulate AI, thralls, and the Purge, so clock speed matters as much as core count.
- Mods are the single biggest driver of extra RAM use; a heavily modded server can need double the RAM of the same population running vanilla.
- Funcom's own official servers run 64GB of RAM per box, well above their published 8GB minimum, for headroom rather than because a full server strictly needs it.
- Use SSD storage; disk needs scale mainly with mod content and backups, not player count.
Conan Exiles server questions
How much RAM does a Conan Exiles server need?
About 8 GB for 10 players and 31.5 GB for 70, before mods (steam workshop). The official wiki table gives 8 GB up to 35 players and 12 GB at 50 to 70, on hardware of its time; current hosting guides quote 16 GB for 10 to 30 players. The model (4 GB plus 400 MB a player) sits between the two.
How many CPU cores does a Conan Exiles server need?
5 for 10 players, 13 for 70. The server is single-thread heavy, so the clock speed of one core matters more than how many cores it has. A hosting guide notes a quad-core (3.0GHz+) is sufficient for smaller servers, moving to 8 cores or more for larger ones; baseCores=4 with one extra core per 7 players reaches 8 cores by 30 players. A separate server-requirements guide states the server leans on CPU single-thread speed for simulating AI, thralls, and the Purge.
How much bandwidth does a Conan Exiles server use?
About 500 kbit/s of upload per connected player, so 10 Mbit/s with 20 players online and about 1.1 TB a month if 35% of that cap is online on average. A hosting guide states a minimum of 5 Mbps upload for a small (~10 player) server and 10-20 Mbps for a larger, more active one, both of which work out to roughly 500kbps per player. Funcom's official wiki gives a flat minimum of 100 Mbit upload regardless of player count, which is a generous whole-machine floor rather than a per-player figure.
Which Clouduxe plan should I pick for Conan Exiles?
For 20 players, VDS OmniCore fits the load and VDS PrimeCore leaves room to grow. Every plan includes DDoS protection: 17 Tbps of upstream mitigation plus Clouduxe Prism on the server.
