SCUM Server Hosting

Just launchedUp to 70% off first month

A 225 km2 prison island that keeps simulating whether or not anyone is logged in. Your SCUM server tracks every survivor's metabolism, vitamin intake, muscle mass and skill decay in real time, so it needs real hardware, and that is exactly what it gets here.

PLAY SCUM MULTIPLAYER

SCUM tracks metabolism, injuries and skills in more detail than almost anything else in the genre, and none of it means much on a server that resets. Yours keeps the character you have built, with the rules, loot and events set the way your group wants them.

INSIDE THE ISLAND

225 square kilometres of prison island, simulated continuously whether or not your players are online.

Frequently
Asked
Questions

SCUM-specific questions we get asked most. The knowledgebase has the longer answers.

View FAQView FAQsKnowledgebaseKnowledgebase
How much RAM does a SCUM server need?
More than most survival games. A SCUM server occupies around 8GB with zero players connected, because the island simulation runs regardless of who is online. That is why the plan here is 16GB, which also leaves room for a server that has been building for months.
Can I edit ServerSettings.ini directly?
Yes. Full file access over SFTP and in the panel's file manager. SCUM exposes over 400 values across General, World, Respawn, Vehicles, Damage and Features, and you get all of them rather than a subset behind a form.
How many players can a SCUM server hold?
SCUM's MaxPlayers setting accepts 1 to 128, and most communities run 64. The plan here provisions 35 slots. Size on how much your players build rather than on the player cap alone, because twenty builders cost a server more than sixty raiders.
Why does my SCUM server use more RAM over time?
Because world state accumulates: bases, vehicles, character progression. Long uptimes are the common source of SCUM instability, which is why scheduled restarts are worth setting from day one. You configure them from the control panel.
Does the server update itself?
Automatic updates are on by default, so the server takes the current build when it starts. You can turn that off in the panel if you need to hold a version.
How fast is setup?
Your server is provisioned and running immediately after checkout. There is no queue and no manual provisioning step.
How much does a SCUM server cost at PlayNHost?
SCUM plans start at US$49.49 (€42.99) a month with 16 GB RAM and 35 player slots. That is the regular monthly price, before any first-month discount, and every plan includes DDoS protection, SFTP and 24/7 support.
What do you get with a SCUM server at PlayNHost?
A SCUM server at PlayNHost comes with: Server Name, Password & Playstyle; PVE/PVP Mode Switch; 35 Player Slots. You choose the region when you order (Europe, North America, South America, Asia or Australia), and setup starts as soon as payment clears.
