Why Not Just Run It Yourself?

About 7 Days to Die
7 Days to Die is an open-world zombie survival game from The Fun Pimps, combining first-person combat, crafting, base building, tower defence and RPG-style progression. Set in a world wrecked by nuclear war, players scavenge, build and fortify, knowing that every seventh night brings a blood moon horde that tests every wall and every weapon they have.
The world is fully destructible and buildable, with structural integrity physics, so a base is only as strong as the way it's built. Players can explore the hand-crafted Navezgane map or a randomly generated world, and progress from scavenging in the forest to surviving in far more dangerous snow and wasteland biomes.
The game entered Early Access on 13 December 2013 and reached its 1.0 release on 25 July 2024, arriving on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S the same day. V2.0 "Storm's Brewing" followed in 2025, adding dynamic storms and crossplay on dedicated servers. V3.0 "Dead Hot Summer" went stable on 29 June 2026 on PC and consoles at the same time, introducing around 150 sandbox options and curated presets that let server owners shape almost every rule of the game. In March 2026 Behaviour Interactive, the studio behind Dead by Daylight, acquired The Fun Pimps, with the original team still leading development. The Fun Pimps host their own QA servers for the game with PingPerfect.
Its huge modding community is a big part of why people rent dedicated servers. Overhauls such as Darkness Falls and Undead Legacy rebuild the game around new classes, crafting and enemies, and need a server running the right game version. Horde nights are also one of the most demanding moments for any server, which is why high single-core speed matters so much for 7 Days to Die.
How Much RAM Do You Need?
Vanilla 7 Days to Die uses far less RAM than most people expect. Mods are what push it up. Figures from our 7 Days to Die RAM guide.

Trusted by Thousands of Gamers
been using them for a few months for 7 days to die server. Everything runs silky smooth with no issues. The game panel is super easy to use. They have loads of mods that are just 1 click installs. I had a small issue when i bought more ram for the server and their support is amazing. They reply in minutes and get you sorted fast, you feel like there top priority. Could not recommend them enough.
I was having an issue getting my 7d2d server set up, Jaxon was fantastic and responded very quickly. They got everything fixed for me and now it's running perfectly.
I had trouble with my dedicated server after 7 Days to Die launched A17. My friends and I wanted to play and didn't want to wait for a patch so I searched for server hosting. PingPerfect is the server the devs use so I figured why not, they will have the updates earlier than everyone else and can contact the devs directly for problems while the competition waits for a patch. I have to say, I am blown away by their service. They are very responsive and everything has been smooth. Thank you!
Amazing customer service! Ping perfect really goes above and beyond! I mistakenly bricked my server by messing up a config file. I opened up a ticket and it was responded to almost instantly and before I knew it the server was re-imaged and everything was back to normal! The user panel is very easy to use. The server performance is excellent and fast. 10/10 thank you ping perfect! <3
Your team always takes such good care of me. Thank you so much. James R., you are a rockstar!! Every time I have an issue with my server, the team at pingperfect helps me resolve it in a timely manner. I appreciate the time they take to explain the issue in plain English that I am able to understand.
Great customer service, quick responses and stuck with me until any issues were resolved

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I join my 7 Days to Die server?▾
On PC, choose Join a Game, click Connect to IP and enter the IP address and port from your Gamepanel, or find the server by name in the server browser. Xbox and PS5 players search for the server by name, once it's set up for crossplay. The full steps are in the how to join section above.
Do the 7 Days to Die developers use PingPerfect?▾
Yes. The Fun Pimps, the studio behind 7 Days to Die, host their QA servers with PingPerfect. We've also been hosting 7 Days to Die servers for our customers since the game launched in December 2013.
Can Xbox and PS5 players join my server?▾
Yes, with crossplay enabled. Dedicated servers support crossplay between PC, Xbox Series X|S and PS5. The server needs crossplay and EAC switched on, a maximum of 8 players, no mods, and settings within the values the console version supports.
Can I use mods on a crossplay server?▾
No. Console players can't join a server that runs mods, including XML modlets. If your group includes Xbox or PS5 players, run the server vanilla. If you want a modded server, keep it PC-only, which also lets you go above 8 players.
Which modpacks can I install?▾
The Gamepanel Mod Manager has one-click installs for many popular overhauls and challenge maps, including Darkness Falls, Undead Legacy, War3zuk, 28 Alphas Later, Afterlife, EndZ, District Zero, ProjectZ, I am Legend, Preppocalypse, Xanin's Biome Baddies, most of the Vita mods, and challenge maps like Aircraft Carrier, Backpacker and Frantic Mansion. You can also upload your own modlets, see our modlet guide.
My modpack doesn't support the latest version yet. What can I do?▾
Run the version the modpack needs. We support every version from Alpha 8.8 to the current V3 build, so you can roll back to an older version until the mod author updates. See our rollback guide.
Can I play the experimental branch?▾
Yes. You can switch your server to the latest experimental build from the Gamepanel, and back to stable whenever you like. See our beta update guide. Players need to be on the same version as the server to join.
What is a SandboxCode?▾
Since V3.0, most world settings, like difficulty, zombie behaviour, horde nights and loot, are stored in a single SandboxCode in your server config. Our free Sandbox Code Generator lets you build that code in your browser and paste it straight into your server, without launching the game.
Can I switch between Navezgane and a random world?▾
Yes. Change the world in your server configuration and restart. To start a new random world, see our random world guide. World generation is much faster on our hardware than on a typical home PC.
Can I upload my existing world?▾
Yes. Upload your save via FTP or the file manager. Our world upload guide covers the steps. Check your world was saved on the same game version the server runs.
How do I add an admin to my server?▾
Admins are added through the server's admin file using your Steam or Epic ID. Our admin guide covers both, and our admin commands guide lists what you can run once you're an admin.
How do I make my server PvE?▾
Change the player killing setting in your server configuration. Our PvE guide has the steps.
Can I set up a live map or automated messages?▾
Yes. See our guides to setting up the live map and scheduled server messages. Telnet / RCON access lets you automate restarts and other commands too, see our Telnet guide.
How much RAM does my server need?▾
It depends on world size, player count and mods. Large random worlds and big overhauls like Darkness Falls need more. Our RAM guide has the details, and our Darkness Falls guide covers that mod specifically.
How much does a 7 Days to Die server cost?▾
Plans start from $15.26/month for a 10-slot server with 9 GB RAM. The 20-slot, 12 GB plan is our most popular, and the 30-slot plan runs on Extreme hardware for heavily modded or busy servers. Every plan comes with a 48-hour free trial.
