Greetings Devs! If you’re looking to host your own Conan Exiles server, you’ve come to the right place. In this article, we’ll guide you through the process step-by-step. Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced server host, we’ll cover everything you need to know to get your server up and running smoothly. Let’s get started!

1. Choosing the Right Server Hosting Provider

The first step in hosting a Conan Exiles server is choosing the right hosting provider. There are many providers available, but not all are created equal. Before you make a decision, consider the following factors:

• Performance: Look for a provider that offers fast and reliable servers.
• Scalability: Make sure you choose a provider that allows you to easily upgrade or downgrade your server as needed.
• Support: Choose a provider that offers knowledgeable and responsive support.
• Price: Compare prices from different providers and choose one that fits your budget.

Once you’ve found a provider that meets your needs, sign up for an account and log in to your control panel.

2. Installing Conan Exiles Server

Now that you have a server hosting provider, it’s time to install Conan Exiles Server. Follow these steps:

1. Log in to your server’s control panel.
2. Locate the game server installer for Conan Exiles.
3. Click the “Install” button and follow the on-screen instructions.
4. Once the installation is complete, start the server.

After the server is started, you’ll need to configure some settings to customize your server.

3. Configuring Server Settings

Conan Exiles Server allows you to customize many server settings to suit your preferences. Here are some of the most important settings:

Setting	Description
Server Name	The name of your server.
