Aloft dedicated server
What is an Aloft VPS?
Your Aloft world stays online for up to 8 co-op players even when your own PC is off: an Aloft VPS is a KVM virtual server with full administrator access that runs the Aloft dedicated server around the clock.
This is your own server, not a managed game server. You set up the Aloft server yourself with full administrator access, and because the VPS has its own public IP, your friends join without port forwarding on your home router.
Aloft is a cozy co-op survival sandbox on floating sky islands. With administrator access, you decide how the world files, game mode and island settings are handled.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions about Aloft
Answers to the most important questions before you start.
Priced by package, not slots: live prices in the shop.
You pay for the VPS package you choose, not for player slots. The pricing section shows the live price of each package, which depends on term and location. You can book 3, 30, 90 or 180 days or 1 year, with discounts on longer terms, or choose Lifetime with ZapX Pass.
- Terms from 3 days to 1 year
- Lifetime (pay once) with ZapX Pass
- Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current period
For Aloft, you get your own VPS with administrator access.
For Aloft, ZAP-Hosting offers a VPS instead of a managed game server. You get your own server with full administrator access and control the files, the operating system and the setup, installing the Aloft server yourself. The trade-off is that you look after the VPS yourself, with the panel and the Help Center to support you.
- Full administrator access instead of a locked panel
- Set up Aloft yourself
- The same VPS can host other tools for your crew
Set up Aloft yourself with full administrator access.
You set up the Aloft dedicated server yourself on your VPS with full administrator access. Check the game's current server requirements when planning your setup. A guide in the Help Center helps you get started.
- Your own VPS
- Full control
- Custom Docker setups possible with administrator access
Size your VPS by island count and players.
As a guide for the game server: at least 2 GB of RAM, 6 GB recommended, plus headroom for the operating system. A small crew on a fresh world needs less; larger worlds with more players or mods need more RAM. Choose your VPS package based on island count and number of players, and leave some headroom for a growing world.
- Figures from third-party guides, not ZAP benchmarks
- More islands and players need more RAM
- Up to 8 players per Aloft world
Pick the location closest to your crew.
Pick the location closest to most of your players from our locations in Europe and America. Latency depends mainly on that distance. Many North American groups start with Ashburn, Dallas or Los Angeles.
- Choose the data center near your crew
- Prices can differ by location
Yes, full administrator access.
Yes. Your VPS comes with full administrator access on Windows Server. You connect via Remote Desktop (RDP) and manage files and firewall rules. If a connection ever fails, you can still reach the server through the browser console in the panel. How to connect via Remote Desktop (RDP)

- Browser console as a fallback
- Your own firewall rules for the Aloft ports
Backups in the panel, saves via upload.
Yes. With ZapX Pass you can create, restore and download VPS Backups in the panel, so a broken save is no disaster. A daily automatic Backup is included. To continue an existing world, upload your Aloft save files from your PC to the VPS. Your friends then join the server instead of your home PC, without port forwarding. Managing Backups in the Help Center
- Back up with ZapX Pass
- Upload saves via Remote Desktop (RDP)
- No home port forwarding needed
