Methodology

How we compared Core Keeper server hosts

We compared each host’s live Core Keeper product on what matters for an eight-player co-op world: enough memory, a London or nearby location, backups and save uploads, refund terms and the regular price. Hosts without a live Core Keeper product were left out. Prices come from each host’s public plan page, converted at £1 = $1.33. Our full process is on how we compare.

UK locationLondon first, then nearby Europe.
Memory3–4GB for a normal group.
BackupsEasy restores and save uploads.
SlotsEight players is the game’s limit.
PriceRegular monthly price, not first-month deals.
Refunds and trialsA low-risk way to try a host.

Plan sizing

How much RAM does a Core Keeper server need?

Core Keeper is light on memory. Size by group and base size:

WorldPlayersSensible RAM
Small world1–42–3GB
Normal group4–83–4GB
Large base or mods4–86GB+

Kinetic Hosting’s 4GB plan covers most groups. Our hardware requirements guide covers CPU and storage.

Dedicated server

How the Core Keeper dedicated server works

Core Keeper has a separate dedicated server (Steam App ID 1963720) that hosts install for you. Players join with the server’s Game ID or, where the host supports it, a direct IP and port. Normal play supports up to eight players, whatever slot count a host advertises. PC players on different storefronts can play together; PC-to-console cross-play is not supported.

To move an existing world, upload the save through the host’s file manager and back up the local copy first.
