Project Zomboid server requirements
What the server needs before you pick a size. 4 GB of RAM is the minimum.
- RAM
- 4 GB minimum. Every extra gigabyte is $1 a month and can be added or removed later without a reinstall.
- CPU
- Heavy with a big map and many zombies: the simulation is single-threaded. Reduce the zombie population before adding RAM.
- Disk
- Saves grow as the map is explored, several GB on a long server.
- Ports
- One UDP port and a range for direct player connections, assigned for you.
- Mods and plugins
- Steam Workshop mods by ID in the server settings; players get them automatically when they join.
- Your existing world
- Upload the Saves folder for your server name; map mods must match the save.
How to make a Project Zomboid server
Project Zomboid multiplayer shines on a dedicated server: the world keeps simulating, loot respawns on your schedule, and mods stay in sync for everyone.
- 1
Create your server
Start the free 7-day trial (no credit card) or pick a plan. 4 GB suits a small group; add more for big mod lists or high population settings. Then hit Create Server in the panel, choose Project Zomboid and your region, and the server installs itself. Your server's address and port appear on the server page as soon as it's up.
- 2
Tune the apocalypse
Set server name, password, player slots and sandbox options from the Settings tab. Build 41 and Build 42 are both supported: pick the branch that matches your group's game version.
- 3
Add Workshop mods
Paste Workshop IDs and mod IDs into the server settings and restart. The server downloads the mods itself, and joining players get them automatically through Steam.
- 4
Join the server
In Project Zomboid choose Join, add your server's address and port under Favorites, enter the password, and pick your spawn town. Your character is saved server-side.
What the panel hands you
- Address
- On the server page as soon as it is up, port and all.
- Console and files
- Live console, a file manager and SFTP, from the first minute.
- Backups
- Daily, with one-click restore and a backup you can take by hand before a risky change.
- If it goes wrong
- The crash doctor reads the log and tells you the cause in plain words.

What a Project Zomboid server costs
You pay for RAM, not for the title: a server slot is $2.50 a month with 1 GB and 30 GB of storage, and every gigabyte after that is $1. A year is ten months. The same subscription runs Project Zomboid today and anything else we host tomorrow.

Who can join
The honest version, so nobody buys a server their friends cannot reach.
Platforms
PC on Steam. There is no console version.
Crossplay
PC only.
Regions and latency
Pick Europe or North America when you create the server. North America has nodes on the east coast and the west coast, Europe in the west, all on NVMe storage with DDoS protection in front. Players on the same continent as the server see 20 to 60 ms, which Project Zomboid handles well; a group split across the Atlantic should host where most of them are. Changing region later is a backup, a new server in the other region, and a restore.
