The Isle Server Hosting for a world that keeps hunting
Run your The Isle: Evrima server on a KVM VDS in Frankfurt with full root, strong cores for the AI and multi-Tbps Anti-DDoS. Growth and progression persist whether anyone is logged in or not.
VDS plans from €32.00EUR per month
The Isle's Evrima branch simulates a living island: AI dinosaurs keep pathing, feeding and fighting whether or not a player is nearby, and that AI is the biggest consumer of both CPU and memory on the server. A high player count on top of it is what separates a server that holds up from one that stutters.
Every VDS is a KVM virtual machine in Frankfurt with guaranteed vCPU, RAM and NVMe, full root access and the same multi-Tbps Anti-DDoS network as the rest of ESAGAMES. You install the dedicated server through SteamCMD and tune Game.ini yourself.
Everything your The Isle server needs
Evrima is CPU-bound by its AI. Every AI dinosaur runs pathfinding, behaviour trees and physics continuously, which is why a busy server needs real hardware rather than a cheap slot.
CPU for the AI
Evrima's AI dinosaurs are the real load. Guaranteed cores on Ryzen 9 and Xeon Gold nodes keep the island responsive as the population climbs.
Full root access
Install with SteamCMD, edit Game.ini, manage saves and run the server under systemd — no panel sitting between you and the config.
Persistent growth
Your dinosaurs' growth and progression carry between sessions, and the server keeps running when you log off.
Anti-DDoS included
Multi-Tbps Frankfurt filtering in front of your IP, with a dedicated The Isle UDP profile.
NVMe storage
Fast saves and quick restarts, which matters on a server people have invested hours of growth into.
Frankfurt latency
Central-EU routing for a stable ping across the community.
Built for The Isle players, not just servers
Hardware, network and protection tuned for game hosting — hosted in one of Europe's best-connected data centres.
Multi-Tbps Anti-DDoS
Your VDS is filtered through our own 13 Tbps+ Frankfurt network — attacks are absorbed before they reach your server. Learn more →
Instant activation
The VDS is provisioned automatically after checkout, so you can log in and start installing within minutes.
Low EU latency
Frankfurt is the heart of European networking. Players across the EU get a stable, low ping for smooth gameplay.
Full root, your setup
A KVM virtual machine you control completely — SteamCMD, mods, scripts and backups, set up the way you want.
Ryzen 9 and Xeon Gold
VDS plans run on Ryzen 9 9950X, Ryzen 9 7950X or Xeon Gold 6230R processors.
24/7 in-house support
Real people run the network and the VDS platform. We keep the machine online; the game server on it is yours to run.
How to make a The Isle server
Four steps from checkout to a live server. You will need a Linux command line — or follow our guide line by line.
Pick a VDS plan
Size by player count: roughly 6 GB suits up to 20 players, 8 GB for 20–50, and 12 GB or more beyond that.
Install with SteamCMD
Log in over SSH and install The Isle dedicated server.
Configure Game.ini
Set your slots, growth rates, server name and admin list, and allow the game port in your firewall.
Go live
Start the server and share your IP — the island keeps running between sessions.
How much server do you need?
A The Isle server runs on one of our VDS plans. Here is which plan fits — the cores, RAM and disk shown are each plan's current specs.
VDS plans from €32.00EUR per month.
VDS 1
6 GB RAM · 4 vCPU · 60 GB disk
A private herd server, roughly up to 20 players.
VDS 2
10 GB RAM · 6 vCPU · 100 GB disk
A public server in the 20–50 range.
VDS 3
16 GB RAM · 10 vCPU · 150 GB disk
50–100 players with heavy AI on the map.
Evrima, your rules
However your community plays the island.
The Isle is a top DDoS target — you're covered
Game servers are the #1 target for DDoS attacks. Every ESAGAMES VDS sits behind our multi-Tbps filtering, engineered to absorb modern botnets like AISURU and keep your The Isle server online during raids, rivalries and events.
The Isle hosting questions, answered
How much RAM does a The Isle server need?
Scale it with players: about 4–6 GB for up to 20, 6–8 GB for 20–50, 8–12 GB for 50–100, and 12–16 GB or more above that. AI dinosaurs are what drives it up.
What port does it use?
UDP 7777 by default — the game and query traffic share it. On a VDS you open it yourself.
Does CPU or RAM matter more?
CPU. Evrima is AI-bound: each AI dinosaur runs pathfinding, behaviour trees and physics constantly, so cores are what keep a busy island smooth.
Do you sell a ready-made The Isle game server?
No. You rent a VDS and install the dedicated server on it, which gives you full control over Game.ini, saves and restarts.
Is it DDoS protected?
Always — multi-Tbps Frankfurt filtering with a dedicated The Isle UDP profile.
Can I move an existing server here?
Yes. Copy your save data and Game.ini across and start the server — nothing about the migration is unusual.
