Dedicated 7D2D server hosting with DDoS protection, no player-slot limit and worldwide locations, online in 60 seconds.
American ExpressAbout the game
7 Days to Die is an open-world survival game that mixes zombie horror, crafting, mining and base building. By day you scavenge towns, loot POIs and level your skills, and every seventh night a blood moon horde storms your base. A 7 Days to Die server keeps that world running 24/7, so your group can build, raid and survive the horde together, even when the original host is offline.
With your own 7D2D server you set the rules: difficulty, day length, loot respawn and blood moon frequency. You can upload an existing world, add server-side mods or overhauls like Darkness Falls via FTP, and lock things down with a password or whitelist. There is no player-slot limit, so friends can join as your group grows, and you pick the location closest to your players.

FAQ
Answers to the most important questions before you start.
You never pay per player slot; price depends on package, term and location. Pick a package that fits your group, map size and mods. The plan cards above show the current starting price live from the shop. Terms range from 3 days to 1 year, and Lifetime is available with ZapX Pass.
It depends on player count, world size and mods. A small co-op group on a standard map needs less RAM. Larger Random Gen maps, more players and overhaul mods like Darkness Falls need noticeably more memory. Start with the package that matches your group, then check the RAM graph in the panel after your first blood moon. As a guideline: at least 4 GB, 8 GB recommended.
There is no player-slot limit on our game servers. How many survivors play smoothly depends on your RAM/CPU package and the max player setting in serverconfig.xml. Your 7 Days to Die server runs 24/7, so friends can keep playing when you're offline.
Setup is automatic. After payment, your 7D2D server is installed and usually online within 60 seconds. The panel shows the server IP right away, and you can set the server name, password and world settings before inviting your group. How to connect to your server
Yes. You get full file and FTP access, so you can upload server-side mods and overhauls like Darkness Falls, Undead Legacy or War3zuk to the Mods folder. Every player also has to install the overhaul on their own client, in the same version. Modded servers can't use console crossplay. Mod guide in the Help Center
You can run the free 7 Days to Die dedicated server tool from Steam on your own PC. That PC has to stay on 24/7, you have to forward ports 26900–26903, and the server shares your home bandwidth. Renting gives you an always-on, DDoS-protected server with Backups and a web panel. We don't offer free hosting, but terms are flexible.
When you order, you choose from locations worldwide. Pick the one closest to your players for the best ping. Many North American groups start with Ashburn, Dallas or Los Angeles, and every location comes with DDoS protection.
Yes. Your server stays PC-hosted, and Xbox and PlayStation players can join once crossplay is enabled in the server settings. For crossplay, the game requires an unmodded server with EAC enabled and sets its own player limits, so decide early whether your world runs mods or crossplay. Crossplay setup guide
