Dead Matter VPS
What is a Dead Matter VPS?
A Dead Matter VPS is your own Windows virtual server on KVM with full administrator access, and the Gameserver Installer sets up the Dead Matter dedicated server on it with one click. You decide the server name, join password, player slots and admin list.
Run a private squad server for a few friends or an open survival community, keep admin tools or a Discord bot on the same machine, and connect with the IP and port shown in the panel. A daily automatic system Backup is included; your own Backups and restores come with the ZapX Pass.
Features
Built for Dead Matter survival servers
Everything your own Dead Matter server needs, from the one-click Gameserver Installer to reserved resources, access control and flexible terms.
Dead Matter set up in one click
Your survivors can join sooner: the Gameserver Installer sets up server files, Game.ini and the game port for Dead Matter with one click.
VPS online right after ordering
Get started on your world right away: your VPS is provisioned automatically after checkout and is ready for the Gameserver Installer.
Reserved resources for big maps
The zombie world stays smooth while the map loads: KVM virtualization reserves your RAM and CPU cores for your VPS alone.
Upgrade when your community grows
More survivors, more headroom: add more RAM and CPU cores whenever your server fills up.
Daily system Backup included
Rest easy after a long raid: a daily automatic system Backup is included, and your own Backups and restores come with the ZapX Pass.
Locations in Europe and America
Lower ping for your squad: run your VPS in Ashburn, Dallas, Los Angeles or FFM/Eygelshoven, whichever is closest to your players.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions about Dead Matter
Answers to the most important questions before you start.
A Dead Matter VPS is your own virtual server with full administrator access. The Gameserver Installer sets up the Dead Matter dedicated server with one click, and from there you control Game.ini, admins, restarts and any extra tools. A managed game server trades that freedom for a fixed panel. The Dead Matter dedicated server runs on Windows, so your VPS runs Windows as well.
- Full admin access to your own VPS
- One-click setup via the Gameserver Installer
- Room for bots, tools or a second game
You pay for the VPS package, not per player slot. The pricing cards on this page show live prices from the shop for every package and term. You can cancel anytime; the cancellation takes effect at the end of your current term. With the ZapX Pass you can also choose Lifetime and buy once.

Go by RAM first. For Dead Matter we recommend at least 24 GB RAM for the game server plus about 20 GB disk space, because the server holds a lot of memory while the map loads. Add headroom for the operating system and upgrade later as your community grows.
- 24 GB RAM minimum
- 20 GB free disk space
- Add more RAM as your community grows
Choose Dead Matter in the Gameserver Installer and it sets up the server with one click: server files, Game.ini with server name, join password and slot count, plus the game port.

Why is my VPS using so much RAM after starting Dead Matter?
Dead Matter holds a lot of memory while the map loads and settles afterwards. I can show you how to read the RAM graph in the panel and when more RAM makes sense.
How much RAM should I plan for?
Dead Matter needs plenty of RAM, ideally with headroom to spare. Compare that with your package in the VPS overview before you invite more survivors.
