Fear the Night on your own VPS
What is a Fear the Night VPS?
Your co-op group gets a Fear the Night server that stays online around the clock. A Fear the Night VPS from ZAP-Hosting is a KVM virtual server with full administrator access that runs the dedicated server of Fear the Night, the co-op zombie survival game on Steam.
You skip the manual install: our Gameserver Installer sets up the Fear the Night server with one click. Your friends join via the public IP of your VPS, with no port forwarding on a home router, and the world keeps running when your own PC is switched off.
Because the machine is yours, you decide on the operating system, firewall rules, admin access and extra tools. We provide the VPS, the network and the DDoS protection, not a managed game server.
Why a VPS
Why co-op groups pick a Fear the Night VPS
Your own VPS gives your group an always-reachable Fear the Night server, set up in one click and fully under your control.
Server set up in one click
Your group skips the manual install: the Gameserver Installer sets up the Fear the Night server on your VPS in one click.
Online in about 60 seconds
Order tonight and play tonight: your VPS is provisioned automatically right after checkout, usually within 60 seconds.
Admin access, your rules
You decide who gets in and what runs: full admin access via RDP lets you set firewall rules, admin users and extra tools on your own machine.
Daily Backup of your VPS
Your survival progress has a safety net: every VPS gets an automatic daily system Backup, and restores plus extra Backups come with ZapX Pass.
Grows with your group
More friends or a bigger world later on? Move to a larger VPS plan with more RAM and CPU instead of starting your server from scratch.
Resources instead of slots
Zombie nights run smoother when the server has headroom: you choose RAM, CPU cores and NVMe storage instead of a slot count.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions about Fear the Night
Answers to the most important questions before you start.
Your own server, with full admin access.
A Fear the Night VPS is your own KVM virtual server with full administrator access, on which the Fear the Night dedicated server runs for your group. Instead of a shared game panel, you get the whole machine: firewall, Remote Desktop access and extra tools are yours to control. How to connect via Remote Desktop
- Full admin access via RDP
- Windows VPS
- No managed game panel in between
Right here, as your own VPS.
At ZAP-Hosting you rent a VPS, pick the location closest to your group and set up the Fear the Night server with one click through our Gameserver Installer. Then share the server's public IP with your friends: no port forwarding on a home router, and the world stays online 24/7 even when your own PC is off.
- Pick a VPS plan and location
- Set up the server in one click
- Share the IP with your group
Your VPS is usually online within 60 seconds.
Your VPS is provisioned automatically right after checkout and is usually online within 60 seconds. The Gameserver Installer then sets up the Fear the Night server in one click; how long that takes depends on the download of the game files. Experienced admins can optionally set everything up by hand instead.
- Automatic VPS provisioning after checkout
- One-click setup via Gameserver Installer
- Manual setup stays optional
It depends on your group and your world.
There is no fixed number: what your server needs depends on how many players join, how far your world has grown and whether you run mods. Many groups start with a smaller VPS plan, watch CPU and RAM usage in the panel and move to a larger plan when the group grows. Prices depend on VPS package, term and location, not player slots. As a guideline for the game server: at least 7 GB, 8 GB recommended, plus headroom for the operating system.
- Resources instead of slots
- Usage visible in the panel
- Larger plans available later
Pick the one closest to your players.
You choose the location when you order. VPS plans run in our own data centers in FFM/Eygelshoven, Ashburn, Dallas and Los Angeles; pick the one closest to most of your players for the best connection. Current availability per location is shown in the shop.
- Location chosen at checkout
- Pick the location nearest your group
- DDoS protection at every VPS location
Yes, with the Lifetime option.
Yes. VPS plans are eligible for Lifetime with ZapX Pass: buy your VPS once instead of renting it; it runs as long as your active ZapX Pass includes a free Lifetime slot (one Pass per account for all your Lifetime servers). If you prefer flexibility, rent monthly and cancel at the end of any billing period. More about ZapX Pass
- Buy once with ZapX Pass Lifetime
- Monthly rental with flexible term
- Cancel at the end of a billing period
A daily automatic Backup is included.
Yes. Every VPS gets an automatic daily system Backup, so your world and settings have a safety net. Restoring that Backup and creating your own additional Backups requires ZapX Pass. You can also copy your world files off the server via Remote Desktop at any time. How Backups work
- Daily automatic system Backup
- Restore and extra Backups with ZapX Pass
- Download files via Remote Desktop
Yes, DDoS protection is included.
Yes. Every VPS runs behind our PletX DDoS protection, which filters attack traffic before it reaches your server, so your co-op night isn't cut short by an attack. You don't need to set anything up for it. Learn more about PletX
- PletX DDoS protection included
- Always active, no setup needed
- Covers every VPS location

Which ports does my Fear the Night server need in the firewall?
I'll show you how to check which ports your server is listening on and explain how to allow exactly those in your VPS firewall.
And how do I keep everything else closed?
Keep RDP and the game ports open and block the rest. I can walk you through each rule before you apply it.
