In Server settings, the variables set the server name, the number of players, the password, the queue, RCON and automatic updates. Each variable applies at the next start. RCON is off on delivery. Its password, generated when the server is created and unique to each server, is in the RCON password variable. The Admin SteamID64 variable adds your admins to Game.ini at every start.
This is the server's official settings file, in two sections. Among other things it holds the AI, growth, migrations, day length, admins, the whitelist and the playable species. The game rewrites it at every stop: stop the server, edit the file in the file manager or over SFTP, save, then start the server. On our servers it is in the TheIsle/Saved/Config/LinuxServer folder.

Which The Isle server should you choose?
All four plans run the same Evrima server. What changes is memory, processor and the number of backups. Memory serves players and the AI alike. Our advice to rent The Isle server hosting of the right size, on a plan you can change at any time without losing data.

Frequently asked questions about The Isle server hosting.
A question about your project? Our support answers 24/7.
The Isle server hosting costs from $6.92 to $23.17 per month depending on memory, with Start 8 GB, Plus 12 GB, Pro 16 GB and Ultra 24 GB. You don't pay per slot: the number of players is a server setting. For cheap The Isle server hosting, Start is the entry plan, with anti-DDoS, SFTP access and backups included.
The best The Isle server hosting runs the Evrima branch, leaves you in control of Game.ini, opens SFTP access to your files, makes backups and lets you change plan without losing anything. It sells memory rather than slots, since the AI dinosaurs run on the server too. Our four The Isle hosting plans tick all of that, from $6.92 to $23.17 per month, with support that answers 24/7.
With a host like OuiHeberg, choose a plan and a country, then pay. Afterthought's official dedicated server is installed for you, on the Evrima branch. Set its name and the number of players in OuiPanel and the rest in Game.ini, start the server, then launch The Isle to join it. The first start happens on its own, with nothing for you to set.Read the setup guide →
The official dedicated server installs on its own after payment, on the Evrima branch. It is online a few minutes after it is created.
On your own The Isle private server, the world stays open even when you are offline. Each player needs The Isle on Steam, on the Evrima branch. In your Steam library, right-click the game, open Properties, then Betas, and pick "EVRIMA Public Branch". A password or a whitelist then keeps the server for your group.
The game is set to 100 players by default, through the MaxPlayerCount key in Game.ini, and Afterthought advises against going over 100. Our plans don't sell slots. You choose the memory, and the number of players stays a server setting. The more players and AI dinosaurs you host, the more memory you need. With us, the number of players is set in the Player count variable in OuiPanel, 100 on delivery.
It is off on delivery. Turn it on with the Enable the queue variable in OuiPanel, then restart the server. According to Afterthought, it kicks in when every slot is taken. Its port is reserved when the server is created, so you have nothing to set.
Afterthought publishes no figure for the dedicated server. Memory depends on the number of connected players and on the AI, the non-player dinosaurs, whose density you set in Game.ini. Our plans go from 8 to 24 GB. Start with the one that suits you and move up a plan when needed, without losing data.
No, our servers run Evrima only. Legacy, the old version of the game, has been frozen since February 2022: Afterthought maintains it without developing it. Evrima is the branch that gets updates, on the Gateway map. To play on our servers, pick the Evrima branch in Steam.
It updates at startup. As long as the Automatic update variable is on, which is the default, the server checks the Evrima version at every start and installs the latest one. After a game patch, a restart is enough.
The server name, the number of players, the password, the queue, RCON and automatic updates are set in OuiPanel, Configuration › Server settings › Environment variables, with the Server name, Player count, Server password, Enable the queue, Enable RCON and Automatic update variables. They apply at the next start. The rest of Evrima's settings live in the Game.ini file, in two sections. TIGameSession sets the AI, growth, migrations and day length, TIGameStateBase holds the lists of admins, whitelisted players, VIPs and playable species. The file opens in the OuiPanel file manager or over SFTP. On our servers, Game.ini is in the TheIsle/Saved/Config/LinuxServer folder. The game rewrites it at every stop: edit it with the server stopped, or the change is lost. Engine.ini is handled by the server, there is nothing for you to do there. Admins can also be set in the Admin SteamID64 variable.Read the SFTP guide →
Enter your SteamID64 in the Admin SteamID64 variable in OuiPanel, then restart the server. For several admins, separate the SteamID64s with a comma and no space, ten at most. At every start, the server adds them to the AdminsSteamIDs key in Game.ini and removes the ones you took out of the field. The other way, with the server stopped, is to add one AdminsSteamIDs line per admin in the TIGameStateBase section of Game.ini. Admins written by hand are kept.Read the admin commands guide →
Evrima has an in-game admin panel. According to Afterthought's patch notes, it lets you enable or disable species, grow or heal a dinosaur, teleport, set the weather, make an announcement, ban a player or switch to spectator. The game also has an official RCON, to kick, ban, announce or save the world from an external tool. With us, RCON is off on delivery: turn it on with the Enable RCON variable in OuiPanel. Its protocol is the game's own and differs from Source RCON, so you need a tool made for The Isle, not mcrcon. The player list, the save command and announcements respond to it. Its password is generated when the server is created, unique to each server, and can be read in the RCON password variable.Read the admin commands guide →
For a password, turn on the Server password enabled variable in OuiPanel and type it in Server password. For a whitelist, stop the server, set bServerWhitelist to true in Game.ini and add each player with WhitelistIDs, one SteamID64 per line. Only the players on the list can then join, plus the admins.
Through the AllowedClasses key in Game.ini, one line per species, in the TIGameStateBase section. Remove a line, with the server stopped, to remove that species. The game's admin panel can also do it live, and it saves the choice to the server's files. With us, the 22 current playable species are listed in Game.ini on delivery.
Not for now. Evrima has no official modding tool, and we don't offer mods on our servers at the moment. We would rather tell you before you order. Your server runs the game as Afterthought releases it.
No. The Isle was only released on PC, on Steam. There is no console version, so no shared game between PC and consoles. All your players need the game on PC.
The Isle dedicated server costs nothing to download, so you can host it on your own machine, as long as you leave it on and open its ports. A host does it for you, on a machine online day and night, with anti-DDoS and backups. With us, the entry plan is $6.92 per month.
One port for the game, plus one port for RCON and another for the queue when they are enabled. With us, the three ports are reserved when the server is created, for the game, RCON and the queue. You have nothing to set.
OuiPanel makes backups of your server, on demand or scheduled, every night for example. Start keeps 2, Plus 3, Pro 10 and Ultra 20. A backup is restored from the OuiPanel Backups tab and puts the server back the way it was.
Yes. Every server is protected by our network's anti-DDoS, up to 3 Tbps, at no extra cost.
In Marseille, Frankfurt, New York, Beauharnois in Canada and Sydney in Australia. Start, Plus and Pro are available everywhere, Ultra everywhere except Australia, at the same price. Choose the country closest to your players.
Yes. Moving up a plan resizes your server without reinstalling or losing data, in the same country. Useful when your community grows or when you raise the AI density.
