Why look for a Nitrado alternative
Nitrado works well for many Enshrouded owners. The reasons players compare it against other hosts are usually structural rather than about any single feature:
- Single points of failure — a fixed set of data centers means an outage in one takes the servers there offline together.
- Slot-based pricing — paying per player slot can be less flexible than paying for the resources you actually use.
- Region distance — if the nearest region is far from your group, everyone feels the latency.
- Control and payment — some owners want full config access, no contract, and the option to pay in crypto as well as by card.
How Enshrouded on Flux is different
Flux runs your Enshrouded dedicated server on a decentralized network of independent nodes with dedicated CPU, RAM and storage reserved for you, a 99.9% uptime target, and nodes in 50+ countries so you can host near your players. Plans are pre-sized to Enshrouded's needs — up to 16 players with roughly 16 GB of RAM on the top tier — with full access to your server settings and save data through a file manager. DDoS protection is included on every plan, there are no egress (bandwidth) fees, deployment takes about 30 seconds with the ports and updates handled for you, and pricing is transparent pay-as-you-go from $3.99/mo with the first month free — pay by card or in crypto, no contract.
