7 Days to Die (7DTD) dedicated server hosting
for survivors who hold the line.

A 7 Days to Die dedicated server keeps your world running when nobody is online, so your group can loot, build and fortify on their own schedule. The horde arrives on time whether the host is playing or not, and the save stays in one safe place.

To join, start the game, open Join a Game, connect to the IP and port shown in your panel and enter the password if you set one. You set the server name, password and player limit in the Startup tab. Every server starts at 8 players, and you can raise the limit to 64; more players need more RAM.

On the first start the server generates its world, which takes a few minutes on a random map. After that it starts in well under a minute.

Stable is the current release (V3.2) and is preselected. Experimental gets new features first and can break saves or mods. Two older versions stay available for the big overhaul mods, which currently do not run on V3. V2.6 is for War3zuk and Undead Legacy, and V1.4 for Darkness Falls and Ravenhearst.

Choose the version when you order, and switch later from the Startup tab of your panel. Saves from different versions are not compatible, so a switch starts a fresh world, and your old one is kept in a folder of its own on the server.

In 7 Days to Die the map size and the mods use far more memory than the players do. An 8k map needs a few gigabytes more than a 6k map, and memory keeps creeping up the longer the server runs, which is why scheduled restarts help.

6 GB runs eight survivors on a 6k random map or on Navezgane. 8 GB suits an 8k map, a modlet pack or a bigger group, and 12-16 GB is for overhaul mods such as Darkness Falls and 10k maps. A Custom server can be any size from 6 to 24 GB, and upgrades keep your save in place.

Mods go in the Mods folder of your server, uploaded through the file manager or sFTP. Modlets that only change XML files work with anti-cheat (EAC) on, and the server sends them to players when they join. Mods with their own code (DLL or Harmony) need EAC turned off in the Startup tab, and every player must install the same files.

The big overhauls, such as Darkness Falls, Undead Legacy, War3zuk and Ravenhearst, are currently built for older game versions, so pick V1.4 or V2.6 for them. Nothing is preinstalled, so the mod list is entirely yours. Take a backup before a big mod update.

Console players on PS5 and Xbox Series can join a dedicated server when crossplay is on. Turn it on in the Startup tab; it is off by default. The game sets the rules: anti-cheat stays on, at most 8 players, a map of 8k or smaller, and no mods, because consoles cannot load them.

A modded or overhaul server is a PC-only server, and players on Windows, Linux and macOS join it through Steam as usual.

Play the hand-made Navezgane map or a random world with your own seed and size, all set in the Startup tab. Since V3 the difficulty, blood moon frequency, loot and zombie settings live in a single sandbox code: create it in the game's new-game screen and paste it into the Startup tab.

Automatic backups are included, and you can create a manual backup before changing versions, mods or world settings. Scheduled restarts keep a long-running world responsive without anyone watching the console.

The world runs on high-clock Ryzen and Intel CPUs, which matters for 7 Days to Die because much of the simulation runs on a single core. European nodes keep latency low across the region, while Voxility filters attacks with over 1 Tbps of mitigation capacity.

Admins go into serveradmin.xml in your server files, or you can use the admin add command in the console. Already have a save on your PC or with another host? Upload it to the server yourself, or send it to us and we will move it free of charge.
