TRANSPARENCY
Ending confusing pricing practices.
The game server hosting industry widely employs unclear pricing practices.
We refuse to accept this standard.
Confusing pricing
-
✗Bargain first month, skyrocket next month Discounts like “50% off first month” make the base price look low, then rates multiply several times afterward.
-
✗Forced long-term prepayment Advertised as “¥XXX/month” but that rate only applies when paying 12 months upfront—monthly billing costs significantly more.
-
✗First-year pricing displayed prominently “First-year special” or “campaign pricing” is highlighted, while second-year rates and auto-renewal price changes are hidden.
-
✗Cancellation fees and minimum terms Discounted contracts include early termination penalties, making it hard to leave when your needs change.
-
✗Auto-renewal trap Auto-renewed at the discounted rate initially, but you wake up to find yourself charged 2-3x the regular price.
Clear and transparent pricing
-
✓Listed price = Charged price The monthly rate shown on this page applies consistently. No hidden price increases.
-
✓Monthly billing only — nothing paid up front No long-term lock-in and no lump-sum prepayment. You pay month by month, and the price does not go up on renewal.
-
✓Clear total pricing What you see is what you are quoted. No hidden add-ons.
-
✓No cancellation fees · No minimum term When your needs change, cancel anytime. We never charge early termination fees.
-
✓Prorated plan changes Upgrade or downgrade with prorated billing only. No need to “go big just in case.”
PAYMENT
We don’t store your card number.
Payments are processed by PayPal, Square and Stripe.
For card payments, the card number itself is held by our payment processor (Stripe), which is PCI DSS compliant. All we keep is the brand, last 4 digits and expiry date to identify the card, plus an encrypted token used for recurring billing.
With any payment method, we never store your card’s security code (CVV / CVC).
Stripe card payments support 3-D Secure, your card issuer’s cardholder authentication. VISA / Mastercard / JCB / American Express are accepted.
Here is exactly how each payment method is handled.
Stripe card payment (recurring; 3-D Secure supported)
PayPal (recurring)
Square (one-time)
Cancel or remove a payment method at any time
We issue an invoice about one week before the due date and email it to your registered address. For full details see Payment methods for usage fees →.
INFRASTRUCTURE
The unglamorous work of staying online.
Our servers are housed in a data centre in Japan with the following facilities.
Equipment is run with spares in place, so a single hardware failure does not take the service down.
Your data is held across multiple NVMe SSDs. If one drive fails, the data is not lost.
There is more than one route to the internet, so traffic keeps flowing even if one path goes down.
Battery units keep the power on during an outage, and we keep one more unit than strictly required — so power continues even if a unit fails.
For longer outages there is a generator on site. It takes over while the UPS bridges the gap.
PRICE BENCHMARK
How our price compares
Compared with the plans that major Japanese game server providers
recommend for Enshrouded, as checked in October 2026.
Plans recommended
for Enshrouded
- 16 GB of memory or more recommended
- Some providers list 8 CPU cores
- Per-core performance differs between providers
- Includes prices that require paying up front and do not apply on renewal
Medium plan
- vCPU 8 cores · 8 GB memory
- No long-term prepayment · no minimum term
- Same price after renewal
The difference when both are compared on a one-month term. We ask for no long-term prepayment and no minimum term, and the price stays the same on renewal.
On our own servers we measured peak memory use of about 1.9 GB for an Enshrouded server (September–October 2026, one server running in our environment, including a large, heavily built world). What matters most for smoothness is the CPU, so we allocate more CPU cores. This is a measurement from a single server: the memory you need varies with the size of the world and how much you have built.
* The figures in the table are based on the one-month prices shown for Enshrouded plans on providers’ own pages in October 2026. Those providers list amounts with Japanese consumption tax included; the lowest we found was 4,289 yen, and 4,301 yen at a provider that lists the same price on renewal. The table compares the amounts with that tax removed. The 4,289 yen price requires paying for the whole term up front and is stated not to apply on renewal.
Other providers’ prices change with time and conditions. Please check their official sites for current pricing.
FEATURES
Service features
The following features are included as standard on every plan.
Automatic Setup
Your server is automatically built and configured after signup. Manage your server with an intuitive dedicated game panel for configuration changes, file uploads/downloads, and more.
High Performance
All hardware is dedicated server-grade with high durability. If your server specs become tight, you can easily upgrade while keeping all your data.
One-Click Server Optimization
Even at peak times, move to a server with more headroom yourself in one click. World data and settings carry over. Learn more →
Monitoring for stutter
We continuously monitor how each server behaves and detect early signs of rubber-banding (stutter). What we find feeds back into how we size and design resources, as we work to keep the play environment comfortable.
DDoS Protection

Automatic settings protection
Even if an Enshrouded update changes the config file structure, our own server template prevents settings loss and breakage. It follows the game’s changes automatically and minimises maintenance.

CONTINUOUS IMPROVEMENT
We keep improving.
The main updates to our Enshrouded servers.
We work continuously on our Enshrouded servers so that your game runs smoothly and stays stable.
For Enshrouded 1.0 (released 15 October 2026) we checked on our own test server that updating from Early Access, starting up, the game-panel settings being applied and the save data being converted to the new format all work. New orders are built on 1.0. A server you are already running picks up 1.0 when it restarts, as long as automatic updates are enabled.
In Enshrouded, CPU power is what you feel most. We increased the CPU core count on every plan (Starter 3→6 cores / Medium 5→8 / Large 7→12 / Enterprise 9→16) and also reviewed memory (Medium 6→8 GB / Large 8→12 / Enterprise 12→16). Monthly prices have gone up to match these changes (the Enterprise price is unchanged). Backup retention on the Enterprise plan is now 15 generations.
We no longer offer annual billing. There is no lump-sum prepayment and no minimum term.
In Enshrouded, CPU throughput matters more to how the server feels than the number of players does. Acting on customer reports that servers felt sluggish, we increased the CPU core count on every plan (Starter 2→3 cores / Medium 3→5 / Large 6→7 / Enterprise 8→9). To add those cores while keeping the price unchanged, we also rebalanced the memory and storage allocations (memory Starter 6→4 GB / Medium 8→6 / Large 16→8 / Enterprise 32→12; storage 30→20 GB / 50→40 / 100→60 / 150→100). Enterprise backup retention went from 15 to 30 generations.
Each plan used to show a figure such as “N Player Slots”. In practice you set the number of concurrent players yourself from the game panel, and no plan caps it. The figure read like a promise that the server would run comfortably with that many players, which did not match how it behaved, so plans are now described by CPU cores and memory.
* Only the main improvements are listed here.
