Personalizing Your Realm: Identity & Security

Establishing a unique server identity is the primary factor in attracting new survivors to your Enshrouded community. A professional, descriptive name helps your lobby stand out within the global browser, while a strong join password ensures that your progress in Embervale remains protected from unauthorized intruders. The FREAKHOSTING platform provide full access to your server’s technical registry, enabling you to manage these variables with absolute precision.

Technical Configuration Workflow

Enshrouded uses a standardized JSON-based registry to manage core server parameters.
1

Initialize Maintenance

Log in to the Game Panel and Stop your server. Modifying identity variables while the process is active can lead to configuration overwrites.
2

Open the Registry

Navigate to the Files tab and locate the enshrouded_server.json file situated in your root directory.
3

Update Identity Variables

Locate the name and password parameters. Input your chosen community branding and security key.
{
  "name": "FREAKHOSTING | Embervale Pioneers | 24/7",
  "password": "YourSecurePassword2026",
  "slotCount": 16
}
4

Initialize Growth

Save the file and Start your server. Note that it may take up to 60 seconds for the updated identity to propagate to the global browser list.

​
Technical Best Practices

To maximize your server’s visibility, we recommend using prefixes like [EU] or [US] and highlighting unique features such as [No Wipe] or [Active Discord]. This helps players find your community using the browser’s filter utility.
While the engine supports varied strings, we recommend a minimum of 8 characters. Avoid using special symbols like " or \ within the JSON values, as these can disrupt the file’s syntax and cause the server process to fail during initialization.
