Best Squad Server Hosting UK (Nov 2026)

Squad is built for 100 players on kilometre-wide maps, with logistics, vehicles and squad leaders on comms. A community server needs enough slots for full 50v50 rounds, room for Workshop mods and low ping for UK players. We compared 26 hosts that sell Squad servers today.

Quick verdict: LOW.MS is our #1, hosting in London from £6.09/mo ($8.10) with tiers up to 100 slots. Host Havoc runs every plan at 80 to 100 slots for a licensed server, and 4NetPlayers starts at 10 slots in London.

Sizing

How many slots and how much RAM?

Squad’s MaxPlayers tops out at 100, and the map, vehicle count and Workshop mods decide how much memory you need:

ServerSlotsRAM to aim for
Clan training or scrims10–304–6GB
Small public seed server40–606–8GB
Licensed community server80–1008–12GB
Heavy Workshop mod list10012–16GB

Slot-priced hosts such as LOW.MS, GTX Gaming and 4NetPlayers let you start small and add slots; RAM-priced hosts such as Sparked Host and Gravel Host give unlimited slots and you choose the memory. See our guide to game server hardware requirements.

Licensing

Licensed servers and the server browser

To appear in Squad’s main server browser you apply to Offworld Industries for a server licence as the owner, and a licensed server must follow Offworld’s licensing rules. Unlicensed servers still run, and players find them in the Custom Servers tab. Our Squad server requirements guide explains the RAM, CPU and TPS rules that come with a licence. Host Havoc keeps every plan at 80 to 100 slots so it fits the licensed range, and Gaming Deluxe explains which of its plans suit seeding a new server.

Setup

Ports, Layers.cfg and admins

Squad uses three main ports, which a host opens for you:

PortProtocolUsed for
7787UDPGame traffic
27165UDPSteam query (server browser)
21114TCPRCON admin tools

Server.cfg holds the server name, MaxPlayers and password, Layers.cfg or LayerRotation.cfg sets the map rotation, and Admins.cfg lists your admins and their permissions. RCON on port 21114 is what admin bots such as SquadJS connect to, so keep that password strong; our guide to game server security covers the basics.

A London server keeps ping low across Britain, which matters for vehicle fights and close-quarters rounds.

Hosts we left out

PingPerfect does not offer Squad as a managed game server, only a VPS you set up yourself, so it is not ranked. Kinetic Hosting, Indifferent Broccoli, DatHost, Apex Hosting and Nitrado do not sell Squad servers at the moment.
