You can host a Voyagers of Nera server with ZapX on your own VPS. You have full control over the system, and the Game Server Installer gets your server set up in just a few minutes, with no remote desktop connection required. This guide covers what you need, how to install the server, and how to manage it afterward.
| Requirement | Voyagers of Nera |
|---|---|
| Operating system | Windows Server 2019 or later |
| Memory | at least 7 GB |
| Free disk space | at least 15 GB on drive C: |
Voyagers of Nera is only available for Windows in the Game Server Installer. If your VPS runs Linux, install a Windows Server template via Settings > Reinstallation. This deletes all data on your VPS. Learn more in Server Reinstallation.
The server uses around 3.8 GB of memory even when no players are online. A VPS with 4 GB is therefore not enough; plan for 8 GB.
Once installation is complete, the installer shows your server address under How to connect. Any passwords generated by the installer are shown only once under Login credentials. To learn how to connect, see Voyagers of Nera: Connect to the Server.
Your server files are stored on the VPS at C:\ZapX-GameServers\voyagers-of-nera\:
| Folder/file | Contents |

The installer opens these ports in the Windows Firewall. If you start the installation from the dashboard, it also opens them in your VPS's network firewall. If you installed using a command, check the ports there yourself.
