7 Days to Die
Best 7 Days to Die server hosting in 2026 - Comparison of 0 offers
7 Days to Die is an open-world horde survival game where every Blood Moon night puts your base to the test. Unlike most multiplayer games, its server requirements are driven by map size, zombie horde AI simulation, and the voxel destruction engine — not just the number of connected players. The game features native crossplay between PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S.

Quick answer
What is the best host for a 7 Days to Die server?
For a vanilla 7 Days to Die server with 4 to 8 players, plan for a minimum of 8 GB of RAM. With large overhaul mods (Age of Oblivion, Rebirth, War3zuk) or more than 8 players, go up to 12–16 GB. Map size (4,096 to 10,240 blocks) and progressive memory leaks mean you should leave headroom and schedule regular restarts.
Why choose a dedicated host for your 7 Days to Die server?
Hosting a dedicated 7 Days to Die server with a provider guarantees 24/7 availability, a fixed IP address for your friends, and the stable network connection essential during Blood Moon nights. A home server struggles with load spikes and memory leaks that force restarts every 24–48 hours. Delegating the infrastructure lets you focus on survival rather than maintenance.
How to choose your 7 Days to Die host: essential criteria
Recommended RAM based on your usage
| Configuration | Players | Recommended RAM | Estimated price |
|---|---|---|---|
| Small vanilla group | 2–4 | 6 GB | From €5/month |
| Mid vanilla or crossplay group | 5–8 | 8 GB | From €8/month |
| Large vanilla or light mods | 9–16 | 12 GB | From €12/month |
| Overhaul modded (Age of Oblivion, Rebirth, War3zuk) | 2–8 | 12–16 GB | From €14/month |
Location and latency
7 Days to Die is very sensitive to network latency, particularly during Blood Moon nights when the AI is processing hundreds of zombies simultaneously. Choose a data centre in France or Western Europe (Paris, Frankfurt) to keep ping below 30ms for your European players. Crossplay does not change this latency requirement.
Control panel
7DTD server configuration is done by editing the serverconfig.xml file. Key settings to master: ServerMaxPlayerCount (capped at 8 for crossplay), EACEnabled (must be true for crossplay, false for mods), WorldGenSize (map size, directly impacts RAM), MaxSpawnedZombies (lower this if CPU load is high), JarRefund (60% by default since V2.6), and BiomeProgression. A graphical panel (such as Pterodactyl) that exposes this file for editing and mod management makes administration much easier.
English support
7 Days to Die accumulates memory leaks after several days of continuous operation, especially on modded servers. Configure automatic restarts every 24–48 hours with a prior save. Always check mod compatibility after major updates. Since V2.6, mods compatible with V2.0–2.6 are explicitly indicated by their authors on Nexus Mods.
