Best Eco Server Hosting UK (Nov 2026)
An Eco server is a persistent planet where your players build a civilisation, pass laws, run an economy and try to stop the meteor without wrecking the ecosystem. Worlds run for weeks or months and grow heavier as they age, so RAM headroom, a fast CPU, reliable backups and a UK location matter more than slot counts. We compared 34 hosts that sell Eco servers today.
Quick verdict: Indifferent Broccoli is our #1, with no per-plan RAM cap and a two-day free trial from £4.50/mo ($5.99). LOW.MS is the London pick on Ryzen 9 hardware, and Host Havoc runs its own hardware in London from £7.52/mo ($10.00).

How we compared Eco server hosts
We compared each host’s live Eco product on what matters for a persistent civilisation: RAM and how it scales, CPU, UK or EU location, backups, refunds and trials, and regular monthly price. Prices come from each host’s public plan page, converted at £1 = $1.33. Our full process is on how we compare.
The 34 best Eco server hosts, reviewed
Each review covers the entry plan, what it costs and the detail that decides whether it suits your planet.
Indifferent Broccoli
Indifferent Broccoli prices Eco by player count rather than memory: one player costs £4.50/mo ($5.99), four players £7.51/mo ($9.99), six players £9.77/mo ($12.99) (its recommended plan), ten players £14.28/mo ($18.99) and 32 players £18.79/mo ($24.99). RAM is not capped per plan; it runs on fair use on nodes with at least 128GB.
That model suits Eco, where memory climbs as a world fills with buildings, stockpiles and now garbage from Update 14. You can play for two days free before paying, and pick an EU region for UK players.
Support, billing and the control panel are covered in our full Indifferent Broccoli review.
- RAM not capped per plan
- 2-day free trial
- Clear player-based pricing
- No UK location; EU is closest
- Price rises with each player tier
LOW.MS
LOW.MS runs Eco in London on AMD Ryzen 9 7950X and 9950X hardware, and its plans are sized by RAM. The current entry price comes straight from its own price list, shown above.
Eco’s simulation runs on the server, so a fast single core keeps a busy world responsive when the economy, laws and pollution are all being tracked. That makes LOW.MS a strong choice for a large, long-running civilisation hosted in Britain.
Support, billing and the control panel are covered in our full LOW.MS review.
- London location
- Ryzen 9 7950X/9950X
- Built for long-running worlds
- Not the cheapest entry price
Host Havoc
Host Havoc sells Eco by memory: 1GB costs £7.52/mo ($10.00), 2GB £13.16/mo ($17.50), 4GB £20.68/mo ($27.50) and 8GB £35.71/mo ($47.50). It owns and runs its own Xeon and Ryzen hardware rather than renting it.
London is one of its European locations, alongside Amsterdam and Frankfurt, and its average ticket response time is under 10 minutes. 1GB only suits a fresh, small world, so most groups should budget for 4GB or more.
Support, billing and the control panel are covered in our full Host Havoc review.
- Own hardware
- London location
- Fast support response
- Expensive per GB
- 1GB entry plan is small for Eco

Update 14 and what it means for your server
Strange Loop Games shipped Update 14 on 6 August 2026. Nearly every crafting recipe now leaves garbage that has to be sorted and recycled, and unmanaged garbage pollutes the world until players clean it with decontaminants. That adds simulation work for every player action, so a server close to its RAM limit before the update needs more headroom now.
| Update | Date | What changed for servers |
|---|---|---|
| Update 14 | 6 August 2026 | Garbage, recycling and pollution added to nearly every recipe |
| 14.1 | 2 September 2026 | Fixes for several server crashes and bank data abuse |
| 14.2 | 8 October 2026 | mod.io collections auto-update, mods shown in the browser |
| 14.2.1 | 16 October 2026 | Fixed a start-up stall on worlds with large food storage |
Both 14.1 and 14.2 migrate existing worlds, so a long-running server should be on 14.2.1. Our guide on how to reduce lag on an Eco server covers the profiler, cleanup and restarts.
Why Eco hosting is different
Most survival servers are about combat and loot. Eco is a shared simulation: every tree cut, field ploughed and factory built changes the ecosystem, and players vote on laws, elect leaders and trade in their own currencies. A world is designed to run for weeks until the meteor deadline, or for months if you disable it.
That means uptime matters more than in session games, the world file and RAM use grow over time, and most servers have 10 to 40 very active players rather than a hundred casual ones. A host that lets you upgrade RAM without moving the world, such as Kinetic Hosting, GTX Gaming or Wabbanode, saves a lot of trouble later.
How much RAM does an Eco server need?
Eco’s requirement depends on how far your civilisation has come, not just how many players are online:
| World stage | Players | Suggested RAM | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| New world, small group | 4–10 | 4GB | Fresh map, light economy |
| Active town | 10–20 | 6–8GB | Laws, currencies and specialisation |
| Large civilisation | 20–40 | 10–16GB | Months of buildings, stockpiles and garbage |
| Big public server | 40+ | 16GB+ | Plus a fast single core |
The simulation leans on single-core speed, so Ryzen 9 hosts like LOW.MS and Kinetic Hosting handle a busy world better than older Xeon or Epyc tiers. Our hardware requirements guide explains CPU, RAM and storage in more depth.
Ports, config files and the web UI
An Eco server listens on UDP port 3000 for the game and TCP port 3001 for its built-in web UI, where players can read laws, check the economy and browse the world map. Hosts open both for you.
| Port | Protocol | Used for |
|---|---|---|
| 3000 | UDP | Game traffic |
| 3001 | TCP | Web UI: laws, economy, stats and the map |
Most settings live in the server’s Configs folder:
| File in Configs | What it controls |
|---|---|
| Network.eco | Server name, description, password, ports and listing |
| Difficulty.eco | Skill gain, crafting speed and the meteor timer |
| WorldGenerator.eco | World size and terrain, before the first start |
| Users.eco | Admins and whitelist |
World size and terrain are fixed when the world is first generated, so set WorldGenerator.eco before the first start. GTX Gaming and GameServerKings expose the meteor and world settings directly in their panels.
Mods on an Eco server
Eco mods are installed on the server and downloaded by players automatically. Since Update 14.2 a server can keep mod.io collections up to date by itself, pin or skip single mods, and list its mods in the server browser. Mods add items, recipes and plugins, which adds RAM use, so leave headroom above the plan you would pick for a vanilla world.

Eco is not a twitch shooter, but trading, voting and building together still feel smoother on a nearby server. If your group is spread across Europe, EU locations in Frankfurt or Amsterdam work well too.

Self-hosting vs renting an Eco server
The Eco dedicated server is a free download through Steam for anyone who owns the game, and it runs on Windows or Linux. You need to forward UDP 3000 and TCP 3001, keep the machine on for weeks, and handle updates and backups yourself.
| Self-host | Rented server | |
|---|---|---|
| Cost | Free software; you pay for the machine and power | From £2.26/mo ($3.00) |
| Hardware | 4–16GB RAM and a fast core, growing over time | Upgrade RAM in the panel |
| Uptime | Only while your PC is on | Online 24/7 so the world keeps going |
| Updates | Manual | Often one click |
| Backups | Your job | Included on most hosts |
A home server is fine for testing a world with friends, but a planet that runs for months is easier on a host. Our self-hosting guide, guide to VPS hosting and guide to game server hosting cover the trade-offs.

How much RAM does an Eco server need?

What changed in Update 14?
Update 14, released on 6 August 2026, added garbage, recycling and pollution to almost every crafting recipe. Hotfixes up to 14.2.1 on 16 October fixed server crashes and added automatic mod.io collections.
