Journey of Life on your own VPS
What is a Journey of Life VPS?
Your island stays online even when your PC is off: a Journey of Life VPS from ZAP-Hosting is your own KVM server with full administrator access that runs the official Journey of Life dedicated server 24/7 on powerful server CPUs with NVMe storage.
You set up the Journey of Life server yourself on your own VPS with full administrator access and control over files, mods and configs. A guide in the Help Center helps you with setup.
After that, the machine is yours: ports, extra tools, additional servers and your world saves stay under your control. If you'd rather not touch a server at all, ZAP-Hosting also offers a managed Journey of Life server.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions about Journey of Life
Answers to the most important questions before you start.
Yes. You rent your own VPS with full administrator access and set up the Journey of Life dedicated server yourself. The server then runs 24/7 on the VPS, so your group can join without anyone keeping their PC on. You connect via Remote Desktop (RDP), or use the browser console in the panel. First access via Remote Desktop (RDP)
- Full administrator access to your VPS
- Set up Journey of Life yourself
- Runs around the clock, independent of your PC
A managed Journey of Life server runs in our game panel: setup is handled for you and you change settings in the browser. A VPS is your own machine with administrator access, so you decide on the operating system, ports, extra tools and how many servers run on it. Pick the VPS for full control or several worlds on one machine, and the managed server if you simply want to play. See the managed server panel
It depends on your player count and how large your world grows. Many groups start with a smaller plan, check CPU and RAM usage in the panel during busy evenings and upgrade when the values stay high. Running several Journey of Life servers on one VPS needs more resources, and each server should keep at least 3 ports distance to the next one.
- Small friend group: start small and scale up
- Several servers: more CPU and RAM, separate ports
- Upgrade later without setting up again
You pay for the VPS plan, not per player slot. The pricing section shows live prices, which depend on plan, term and location. Terms range from 3 days to 1 year, with discounts on longer terms. With ZapX Pass you can also choose Lifetime and buy your VPS once instead of renting it.
- Terms: 3, 30, 90 or 180 days, or 1 year
- Longer terms come with discounts
- Lifetime option with ZapX Pass: buy once
Your VPS is usually ready within 60 seconds after payment. Then you set up the Journey of Life server yourself on your own VPS with full administrator access. A guide in the Help Center helps you with setup.
Yes, every VPS gets an automatic daily system Backup. Restoring it and creating your own manual Backups, for example before a big building project, requires ZapX Pass. With administrator access you can also copy your world save off the server whenever you like. How Backups work
- Automatic daily system Backup
- Restore and manual Backups with ZapX Pass
Yes. Every VPS comes with DDoS protection, so attack traffic aimed at your server's IP is filtered before it can disrupt your Journey of Life sessions. You don't need to set anything up for the basic protection to work. More about DDoS protection
VPS locations are FFM/Eygelshoven in Europe plus Ashburn, Dallas and Los Angeles in North America. Choose the one closest to most of your players, because a nearby location keeps latency low wherever your group plays. Many North American groups start with Ashburn, Dallas or Los Angeles. Prices can differ slightly between regions.

Which ports does my Journey of Life server need?
Check the port values in your server's configuration and open exactly those in the VPS firewall. For a second server, keep at least 3 ports between the assignments, as the developers recommend.
How can I tell if the port is reachable?
Start the server, then test the port from outside, for example with an online port checker. If it stays closed, compare the firewall rule with the value in your config.
