Most hosting providers offer configurations from 20 slots minimum up to the full 100 player capacity.
Squad utilizes two CPU threads - one main game thread and one networking thread, each using about 100% CPU. For entry-level hosting, you need 1 dedicated CPU core, 2GB RAM, and 50GB NVMe storage. For high-demand full 100-player servers, 8 dedicated CPU cores, 16GB RAM, and 320GB NVMe storage is recommended for maximum performance. Squad also uses ephemeral ports above 30000 for client connections.
