7 Days to Die server hosting
Run your own 7 Days to Die dedicated server on a Nxeon VPS — full root access, fast NVMe storage, DDoS protection, and a dedicated IPv4. From $12.99/mo.
A dedicated 7 Days to Die server keeps your world persistent so your group's base — and its blood-moon defenses — survive between sessions. On a Nxeon VPS you get full root over SSH to install the server with SteamCMD and run it on Linux, which uses meaningfully less CPU than the Windows build.
Horde nights are the real test: dozens of zombies spawning at once lean hard on single-thread CPU. Our VPS plans pair fast cores with enterprise NVMe (ZFS) storage, a dedicated IPv4, always-on DDoS protection, and automatic backups so a blood moon never eats your save.
8 GB is the comfortable baseline for a full group, so our Pro plan is the popular pick. A small co-op map runs on 4 GB, while big maps and overhaul mods do better on 16 GB. Resize any time as your survivors multiply.

Questions, answered
How much RAM does a 7 Days to Die server need?+
8 GB is the comfortable baseline for a 7 Days to Die dedicated server with a full group — our Pro plan. A small co-op world can run on 4 GB, while big maps, long-running saves, and heavy overhaul mods do better with 16 GB.
What port does 7 Days to Die use?+
The server uses port 26900 (TCP/UDP) by default, plus a couple of adjacent ports. Because you have full root on your VPS, you control the firewall and can open exactly what you need.
Should I run the server on Windows or Linux?+
Linux. The 7 Days to Die dedicated server runs well on Linux and typically uses noticeably less CPU than the Windows build, which is why a Linux VPS is the popular choice. Our guide covers the SteamCMD install on Ubuntu.
How do I survive horde-night lag?+
Horde nights spawn a lot of zombies at once, which is CPU-heavy. Fast single-thread performance and NVMe storage help a lot — both of which our VPS plans provide — and keeping player count and mod load reasonable keeps blood moons smooth.
Can I install mods?+
Yes. With full root access you install SteamCMD, the server, and any mods (including overhaul packs) yourself — no host-imposed restrictions. Our step-by-step guide walks through it.
