Project Zomboid server hosting
for survivors who never log off.

A Project Zomboid dedicated server runs on its own, so the world keeps going when the host logs off: your group can loot, build and survive on their own schedule, and the save stays in one safe place.

To join, open Project Zomboid, choose Join, add the server IP and port from your panel and enter the password if you set one. Your GamePanel gives you the live console, file access, backups and restart controls in one place.

Start with the plan that fits your group and upgrade in place later. The save, mods and settings stay with you.

Build 42 has been the stable branch, multiplayer included, since version 42.20 in July 2026. It brings crafting, basements, animals and the new lighting, and it is preselected. Build 41 (41.78) stays available for groups that play mods not yet updated for 42.

Choose the build when you order. You can switch later from the Startup tab of your panel and reinstall; take a backup first. One limit to know: a Build 41 save does not open on Build 42, and many Workshop mods exist in separate versions for each build.

Build 42 uses about 6 GB with nobody online, then roughly half a gigabyte more per active player. 6 GB suits a few friends, 8 GB a group of up to about ten with some Workshop mods, and 12–16 GB bigger groups or heavy packs with custom maps and vehicles.

Mods, map size and how spread out your players are all change memory use. Pick one of the fixed 6, 8, 12 and 16 GB plans, or build a Custom server with any size from 6 to 32 GB. Upgrades keep your save in place.

Add the Workshop IDs to WorkshopItems and the mod IDs to Mods, from the Startup tab or in the server .ini file, then restart. The server downloads the mods itself, and players get them automatically when they join.

On Build 42 every mod ID in Mods needs a backslash in front, for example \ModA;\ModB. Nothing is preinstalled, so you decide the exact list; take a backup before a large mod update.

The admin account is created on the first start. Set its password in the Startup tab before you start the server, or leave it empty and we generate one for you; you will find it in admin-password.txt in your files.

To run a whitelist, set Open=false in the server settings and add players with /adduser from the admin account. A server password, PvP and the public server list are set from the Startup tab.

Tune zombie population, loot, respawn and the rest of the sandbox options in the server files. Every plan starts with a sensible default player limit, which you can raise in the Startup tab up to the game's limit of 100; above 32 players the game itself warns about map streaming, so plan RAM and mods accordingly.

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

Project Zomboid is a PC game on Windows, macOS and Linux, and players on all three join the same server through Steam. There is no console or mobile version.

European nodes keep latency low across the region, while Voxility filters attacks with over 1 Tbps of mitigation capacity. Already have a save elsewhere? Send us the Zomboid/Saves/Multiplayer folder together with the server settings and we will migrate it free of charge.
