What is a Subsistence VPS?
Your group gets its own always-on world for the survival game Subsistence. It runs on a KVM VPS from ZAP-Hosting with full administrator access, and our Gameserver Installer sets up the Subsistence dedicated server with one click.
The whole VPS is yours, so you control server files, the admin password and firewall rules, and you can run tools like a Discord bot next to your world. Managed Subsistence server hosting gives you a game panel; a VPS gives you the entire machine.
A daily automatic system Backup protects your bases and saves. With the ZapX Pass you can also create your own Backups and restore them whenever you need to.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions about Subsistence
Answers to the most important questions before you start.
Managed Subsistence server hosting gives you a ready-made game panel. A Subsistence VPS gives you the whole server, with full administrator access and room for extra tools next to your world. You still don't have to install anything by hand: our Gameserver Installer sets up the Subsistence server with one click.

It depends on how many players join, how big your bases get and what else runs on the VPS. Small co-op groups often start with a smaller package, while larger communities pick more RAM and CPU. Check your VPS statistics on busy evenings, and move to a larger package if your group grows. As a guideline for the game server: at least 4 GB RAM, plus headroom for the operating system.
- Player count and base size drive resource use
- Watch CPU and RAM in your VPS statistics
- Move to a bigger package as your group grows
The price depends on the VPS package, the term and the location you choose. The package cards on this page show live prices from our shop, so you see exactly what you'll pay before you order. There are no player slot fees: you pay for your VPS package, not per player.
