    7 Days to Die server hosting that keeps your base standing

    A good 7 Days to Die world takes weeks of in-game days to build: the base, the traps, the stash of forged steel. When it lives on one player’s PC, nobody else can log in to repair walls before the next horde. A dedicated server keeps the world online for the whole group, and your own PC only has to run the game.

    Choose a plan with at least 8 GB of RAM and your server is ready within 60 seconds after payment. The game’s own player limit lives in serverconfig.xml; we don’t add slot fees on top, so a group of four and a public server pay the same for the same RAM.

    Mods, modlets and overhauls

    Modding is a big part of 7 Days to Die, from small quality-of-life tweaks to overhauls that turn it into a different game. On our servers you add them the same way you would on your own machine, through the File Manager or sFTP.

    Where 7 Days to Die mods go

    Server mods live in the Mods folder at the root of the server, one folder per mod. Upload the mod, restart the server and check the console to see it load.

    Server-side modlets vs. full overhauls

    Small XML modlets that only change game data can often run on the server alone. Mods that add new models, sounds or code, and overhauls like Darkness Falls, have to be installed by every player too, at the same version as the server.

    Match the game version

    Overhauls are built for one game version. Check what a mod needs before you update the server, and make a backup first so you can roll back.

    Blood moons, loot and world settings

    Everything that makes your server feel easy or brutal sits in serverconfig.xml. A few of the settings groups change most often:

    • Blood moon frequency and how many zombies each horde sends.
    • Game difficulty, day length and how fast zombies move by day and by night.
    • Loot abundance, loot respawn time and what players drop when they die.
    • Land claim size and durability, so bases on a public server stay protected.

    For the world itself, play the hand-made Navezgane map or set a seed and size for a Random Gen world. A new seed means a new map, so back up the old world before you change it.

    How much RAM does a 7 Days to Die server need?

    On our plans 7 Days to Die needs at least 8 GB of RAM, so it runs on 6 of our 9 sizes, starting with 8 GB. Memory use climbs with:

    • The size of a Random Gen world and how much of it players have explored.
    • More players online, especially when they spread out across the map.
    • Overhaul mods, which add items, zombies and points of interest.

    No slot fees means RAM is the only choice to make. If you plan to run an overhaul for a bigger group, tell our support team and we’ll suggest a size.

    Hardware we own, in Dallas and Amsterdam

    Your 7 Days to Die world runs on servers we bought and maintain ourselves. Horde nights are the real stress test, with dozens of zombies finding a path to your base at the same time, so every plan uses AMD 9950X/7950X3D processors up to 5.7Ghz, DDR5 RAM and Samsung NVMe storage for fast chunk loading on big maps.

    The machines are in Dallas, TX (United States) and Amsterdam (Netherlands). Both sites run on a 10 Gbps network with advanced cooling and UPS backup power, and every server is behind DDoS protection.

    7 Days to Die hosting questions

    Can't find your answer? Ask our support team.

    How fast is my 7 Days to Die server ready?

    Within 60 seconds after payment. You get the access details by email and can start the server from the panel straight away.

    How do I install mods on a 7 Days to Die server?

    Upload each mod as its own folder into the Mods folder at the server root, using the File Manager or sFTP, then restart. Small XML modlets can often run on the server alone, but mods with new models or code, and overhauls like Darkness Falls, must also be installed by every player at the same version.

    How much RAM does a 7 Days to Die server need?

    On our plans 7 Days to Die needs at least 8 GB of RAM, so it runs on the 8 GB plan and up. Large Random Gen worlds, more players and overhaul mods all add memory use.

    How many players can join my server?

    We don’t limit slots or charge per player. The player limit is a setting in serverconfig.xml, and your RAM decides how many players the server handles comfortably.

    Can I change how often blood moons happen?

    Yes. Blood moon frequency and the number of zombies in each horde are settings in serverconfig.xml. Change them, restart the server and the next horde follows the new rules.

    Can I play on a random world instead of Navezgane?

    Yes. Set the world to Random Gen and choose a seed and a world size in serverconfig.xml. A new seed creates a new map, so make a backup of your current world first.

    Can I switch to another game later?

    Yes. Open the Game Changer and pick another game your plan runs, like Project Zomboid, DayZ or Valheim. It is the same plan, so there is nothing new to buy. Make a backup before you switch.

    Where are your 7 Days to Die servers hosted?

    You can host in Dallas, TX (United States) or in Amsterdam (Netherlands). Both locations run on hardware we own: AMD 9950X/7950X3D processors, DDR5 memory, Samsung NVMe drives and a 10 Gbps network.
