# How to Purchase an Enshrouded Server

Learn how to purchase an Enshrouded server from Nodecraft, compare Lite and Pro hosting options, choose the right plan size, and get your server ready for setup.

If you're ready to give your group a dedicated corner of Embervale, purchasing an Enshrouded server through Nodecraft only takes a few steps. You can choose the type of server that fits how often your group plays, select the resources you need, and head straight into setup without wrestling with server files first.

## Choose the Right Nodecraft Plan

Nodecraft offers both Lite and Pro hosting for Enshrouded. Lite is designed for groups that do not need the server running around the clock. It hibernates when nobody is playing and can be started again through Wake & Play. Pro stays online 24/7 and includes additional tools such as automated tasks and a static IP address.

The Enshrouded hosting page also recommends plan sizes based on the number of players you expect. If your group grows later, you are not locked into pretending four friends somehow became twelve overnight.

## Purchase Your Enshrouded Server

1. Visit the [Nodecraft Enshrouded server hosting page](https://nodecraft.com/games/enshrouded-server-hosting).
2. Choose your preferred billing interval and currency near the top of the page.
3. Select either a Lite or Pro server, then choose the plan size that best fits your group.
4. Click **Get Started** on the plan you want to continue with.
5. Log in to your existing Nodecraft account, or register for a new account if you do not already have one.
6. Review any optional powerups or extras you want to add, then continue to **Checkout**.

7. Enter your billing and payment information and complete the purchase. Nodecraft currently accepts major debit and credit cards, Apple Pay, Google Pay, and PayPal.
8. Once the order is complete, click **Start Server Setup** to begin configuring your new server for Enshrouded.

After purchase, Nodecraft will begin provisioning the service automatically. In most cases, the server is ready within a few minutes, so you should not have enough time to start a whole new base while you wait.

## Final Thoughts

With checkout complete, you can finish setting up your server and invite your group into Embervale. The best Enshrouded server hosting fits the way your group plays, and your Nodecraft dashboard gives you room to adjust as that changes.
