7 DAYS TO DIE

The default is every 7 days. You can adjust this in the dashboard — from daily to every 28 days, depending on how challenging you want your server to be.

The map requires 2–8 GB depending on size. We provide ample NVMe SSD storage so you never run out of space.

For a small group of up to 4 players, 8 GB RAM is sufficient. For larger servers with more players and a bigger world, we recommend 12 GB RAM.

Yes, 7 Days to Die supports mods. You can upload mods from Nexus Mods via the file manager. Popular overhauls like Darkness Falls and Ravenhearst are community favourites. All players need the same mods to connect.

Yes, you can set a server password in the dashboard so only invited players can join.

Manual backups and configurable schedules are available in the dashboard. For an additional local copy, use the file manager to copy the save files from the `Saves` folder. We recommend creating a manual backup before a wipe or major configuration change so you can restore an earlier state without losing progress.

Yes. Every server includes a subdomain like my-server.gs.game-serverhosting.com, and you can change it anytime in the dashboard.

For every server you enable Uptime Kuma (server monitoring) and Game Server Watcher (server status in Discord/Telegram) with one click in the dashboard at no extra cost, plus one bot such as Sinusbot (music bot for Discord/TeamSpeak). Every additional bot costs extra.

Typical initial setup: about 7 minutes. Queues or large installations can take longer. Setup creates the subdomain and DNS records automatically, and for Minecraft also accepts the EULA and installs Geyser.

There is no long-term minimum. Billing is a monthly subscription and automatic renewal can be disabled. Longer terms may qualify for discounts.

You choose the location at checkout: Germany (Falkenstein and Limburg) or France (Roubaix) — all in the EU, connected to the major European exchanges. Low pings for players across Germany, Austria and Switzerland at both locations, and solid latency for the rest of Europe.

The best provider is the one that shows you what you get before you pay: RAM, slots, location, price and cancellation terms. Here the price and resources are visible in the configurator before checkout, there is no minimum term and setup is automated — feel free to compare that with other offers. 7 Days to Die starts here at 10.61 EUR per month, and setup typically takes about 7 minutes.

Self-hosting costs power, time and a machine that runs around the clock; port forwarding, updates and backups are on you. A rented server is online within minutes, keeps running when your PC is off, and updates and backups are included; data-center DDoS protection is included at every location. For one or two friends on a single evening self-hosting is often fine — for a persistent world, renting pays off.

Yes, you can do it yourself in the customer area using a slider. An upgrade takes effect immediately: you only pay the prorated difference for the remaining term, and the new price applies from the next renewal. A downgrade takes effect on the next renewal date. Your world, settings and subdomain are kept, and depending on the game, a restart is required afterwards. With monthly payment and a minimum term, the change is only possible once that term has ended, and for games with a slot-based plan it is not available.
