Hurtworld on your own VPS
What is a Hurtworld VPS?
You get a Hurtworld server that answers only to you: a Hurtworld VPS from ZAP-Hosting is a KVM virtual server with full root access, on which the official Hurtworld Dedicated Server runs together with your Oxide/uMod plugins.
Unlike managed Hurtworld server hosting, you keep every admin right – OS choice, firewall rules, plugin files and extra services like a Discord bot. The ZapX AI Agent in your VPS tab explains each setup step in plain language whenever you need help.
Plans are sized by RAM, CPU cores and storage instead of player slots, so you set your own player limit in the server config.
Features
Everything your Hurtworld server runs on
Your own VPS with reserved resources, Backups and full control – the foundation for a Hurtworld server you run your way.
Reserved resources, not slots
Your raids stay smooth because RAM and CPU cores are reserved for your VPS – and you set the player limit yourself.
Daily automatic Backup
Your world is never one mistake away from loss: the VPS is backed up daily, restore and manual Backups come with ZapX Pass.
Locations in Europe and America
Your players connect to a nearby data center – choose FFM/Eygelshoven, Ashburn, Dallas or Los Angeles when you order.
Room for your community to grow
When more survivors join, switch to a plan with more RAM and CPU right from your panel.
Your rules, your access
Griefers stay out because you control admin rights, plugin permissions and the VPS firewall – nobody else decides for you.
Flexible terms
Your budget, your pace: book anything from 3 days to a full year, or go Lifetime with ZapX Pass and buy once.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions about Hurtworld
Answers to the most important questions before you start.
Yes. The official Hurtworld Dedicated Server is a free tool on Steam and runs on your own VPS, where root or admin rights give you control over files, ports and plugins. The ZapX AI Agent in your VPS tab explains each setup step in chat, and experienced admins can of course set everything up manually the way they prefer.
Managed hosting gives you a fixed game panel and slot-based packages. This page offers the more flexible route: your own VPS with reserved RAM and CPU, full root access and room for extra services like a Discord bot or a website next to your Hurtworld server.
It depends on your player count, your map and how many Oxide/uMod plugins you run. Small groups usually start with one of the smaller plans, while busy PvP servers with many plugins need more RAM and CPU. You can move to a bigger plan later, so you don't have to guess the perfect size on day one.
You pay for the VPS plan, not per player slot. Current prices are shown live in the package cards and depend on resources, location and term. You can book 3, 30, 90 or 180 days or a full year, and longer terms lower the monthly price. Lifetime is also available with ZapX Pass.
You choose from our locations in Europe and America when you order, so pick the data center closest to your community. North American groups often start with Ashburn, Dallas or Los Angeles, and every other location works just as well for players near it.
Yes. DDoS protection is included with every VPS. At our own locations (FFM/Eygelshoven, Ashburn, Dallas and Los Angeles) traffic is filtered by PletX, so attacks on your Hurtworld server are mitigated before they reach your players. Learn more about PletX in the Help Center
Every VPS gets a daily automatic system Backup, which also covers the Hurtworld world and plugin files stored on it. Restoring a Backup and creating extra manual Backups are unlocked with ZapX Pass. How Backups work
Yes. You get root access on Linux or administrator access on Windows, via SSH or Remote Desktop. That means you can add Oxide/uMod plugins, edit every config file and set your own firewall rules. Choose Windows or Linux when you set up the VPS.

Which ports does my Hurtworld server need open in the VPS firewall?
I can read your current firewall rules and compare them with the ports set in your Hurtworld config. If one is missing, I'll prepare the rule for you to confirm – nothing changes until you approve it.
