Renown Server Cost: 2026 Price Analysis
How much does a Renown server cost in 2026? Real Shockbyte prices from €15.61/mo, a plan-by-plan breakdown and RAM by player count.
How much does a Renown server cost in 2026?
A dedicated Renown server costs between €15.61 and €26.02 per month, depending on RAM and player slots. For a private server shared with friends, you can expect to pay around €15/month; a large community server built for 60 players tops out near €26/month.
Renown is a medieval multiplayer survival and PvP game, and right now there is only one host in our comparison that offers it: Shockbyte. We will be honest about that — this is a single-host guide for now, and all three prices below come directly from Shockbyte's live Renown plans, with no estimates.
The short answer
Renown server price breakdown (per plan)
Here is every Renown plan currently available in our Renown hosting comparison, sorted by monthly price. All three come from a single provider, Shockbyte.
| Plan | Provider | RAM | Slots | Mods | Price / month |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Squire | Shockbyte | 6 GB | 20 | Yes | €15.61 |
| Knight | Shockbyte | 8 GB | 40 | Yes | €20.82 |
| Kingdom | Shockbyte | 10 GB | 60 | Yes | €26.02 |
The key takeaway: Shockbyte scales RAM and player slots together. You move from 6 GB / 20 slots on Squire up to 10 GB / 60 slots on Kingdom, and every tier supports Steam Workshop mods. Pricing is essentially linear, so you pay for the size of community you want to host.
What actually drives the price of a Renown server?
Three factors explain almost the entire €15.61–€26.02 range:
- RAM — the single biggest cost lever. Renown's memory use climbs sharply with concurrent players, map size and activity such as raids, large builds and sieges. Shockbyte ships 6 GB on Squire, 8 GB on Knight and 10 GB on Kingdom.
- Player slots — Shockbyte prices per community size, from 20 slots up to 60. A Renown server supports up to 100 players in theory, but more slots means more RAM and CPU under load.
- Mod support — every Shockbyte Renown tier includes mod support via Steam Workshop, so you are not paying extra to unlock community content.
Server location matters too
How much RAM (and budget) do you really need?
Pick your plan based on how many players you want to host. The cards below map directly to the three real Shockbyte plans above.
Private friend server
RAM: 6 GB
Players: Up to 20
Price: €15.61/month
✓ Ideal for: A private crew raiding, building and fighting together. Shockbyte Squire (€15.61) is the entry point and the best value for small groups.
Mid-size community
RAM: 8 GB
Players: Up to 40
Price: €20.82/month
✓ Ideal for: A growing PvP community with clans and claims. Shockbyte Knight (€20.82) doubles your slots to 40 with 8 GB of RAM.
Large community server
RAM: 10 GB
Players: Up to 60
Price: €26.02/month
✓ Ideal for: A busy public server with full-loot raids and sieges. Shockbyte Kingdom (€26.02) gives the most RAM and the most slots.
The best value pick
For most groups, Shockbyte Squire at €15.61/month is the smartest buy: 6 GB of RAM, 20 player slots and mod support. You only need to step up to Knight (8 GB / 40 slots) or Kingdom (10 GB / 60 slots) once your community outgrows 20 active players or you start running heavier maps and sieges.
Is there a free Renown server option?
There is no free hosted Renown server in our comparison. In theory you can self-host from your own PC at no monetary cost — the Renown dedicated server installs via SteamCMD and runs on both Windows and Linux. But it comes with real trade-offs: the world only runs while your machine is on, you expose your home IP, and you handle port-forwarding yourself (UDP 7777–7778 and TCP/UDP 27015–27016). A Shockbyte plan from €15.61/month removes all of that with a persistent world, DDoS protection and automatic backups. For a PvP game built around wipes and raids, a 24/7 server is usually worth skipping the "free" route.
Should you rent monthly or pay longer-term?
All three Shockbyte plans are billed per month, with no long commitment required. That suits Renown well: the game is in active early access from RDBK Studios, with regular updates, and many servers run scheduled wipes (weekly or monthly) to restart the PvP dynamic. A monthly plan means you can scale up around a fresh wipe and cancel when your community takes a break — there is no need to buy a server outright.
