8 GB with four cores is the sensible start for a 25-player island, while 16 GB or 24 GB keeps a busy public server with large squads and dense base building responsive.

SCUM's enormous island and its puppet simulation are memory hungry, so plans scale from three cores at 6 GB to five cores at 12 GB and above on DDR5 ECC memory.
Automated provisioning means the island is generating and accepting connections shortly after checkout.

A private SCUM server is mostly about deciding what kind of survival you want. Harsh metabolism and thin loot make every trip to a police station a risk; generous multipliers turn the island into a base-building sandbox. Setup is automated after checkout, so the first decision you actually make is which of the nine locations to sit in, then which sandbox values to change before inviting anyone.
The server settings file is where the sandbox lives: loot spawn multipliers, metabolism and nutrition rates, fall and weapon damage, puppet population, vehicle counts, and squad size limits. The panel file manager opens it in the browser, so a balance tweak is an edit and a restart from the live console rather than an SFTP round trip. Ten rolling daily backups give you a way back if a value turns out to be a mistake.
Add Steam IDs to the admin list file to hand out in-game powers, and use the panel's player management and subuser features to share access without sharing your billing login. Wipes come down to clearing save data through the file manager and restarting. The task scheduler can automate the restarts a long-lived island benefits from, and support is reachable around the clock through the portal, Discord, and email.

Common questions about running a SCUM server with us.
The island is large and the puppet simulation is memory hungry, so start at 8 GB for roughly 20 to 30 players; that tier includes four cores and is the most popular choice in the lineup. Busy public islands with big squads and heavy base building are steadier on 16 GB at $40.00 or 24 GB at $60.00.
Yes. The server settings file holds the sandbox values, including loot multipliers, metabolism speed, fall damage, and puppet counts, and the panel file manager lets you edit it straight in the browser. Restart from the live console to apply, and the ten rolling daily backup slots give you a fallback if a change goes wrong.
A wipe means clearing the save data the file manager exposes and restarting so the server builds a fresh state. Download a copy first if you might want the old world back, since the ten automatic daily backup slots rotate over time and an older snapshot will eventually cycle out of the set.
Squad size is one of the values in the server settings file, so you can run solo only, duos, or large clans, and change your mind later. Player slots themselves are unlimited on every plan, which means your squad policy and admin team decide how big groups get rather than a per-slot price.
Add your Steam ID to the admin list file through the panel file manager and restart the server. You also get a live console, player management tools, and a task scheduler for automated restarts. If a setting refuses to behave, support is available 24/7 through the client portal, Discord, and support@fourseasonshosting.com.
