Why host 7 Days to Die with Multiplayer Rally
The evergreen zombie crafting co-op. The dedicated server is free, well documented, and modded overhauls push the RAM needs up fast. Horde night hits different on a server that is always there.
- Heavy server: 7 Days to Die is one of the bigger ones, around 6-8 GB vanilla, 16 GB modded. You'll want a PC with that much RAM to spare on top of everything else.
- 7 Days to Die uses several server ports, the classic spot people get stuck setting up by hand. We set every one of them for you.
- 7 Days to Die mixes TCP and UDP, which trips up most manual port-forwarding guides. The relay carries both transparently.
- Runs the official 7 Days to Die server on Windows, Linux. We download it from the publisher and keep the runtime patched.
- Your 7 Days to Die world stays set up between sessions. The app handles restarts, updates, and the relay link so the squad can drop in whenever you're online.

7 Days to Die hosting questions
Plan on 6-8 GB vanilla, 16 GB modded of free RAM for a friend-group server. Your PC needs that on top of whatever else it's running; the app checks before installing.
26900 (+26901-26903) (TCP + UDP). With Multiplayer Rally you don't forward any of them: the agent makes an outbound connection to our relay, and your friends connect to the relay address.
Yes, that's the whole point. The agent on your PC makes an outbound connection to our relay, so you never touch your router. Your friends connect to the relay address and the traffic is tunneled to your 7 Days to Die server. Nothing is exposed to the open internet.
Yes. Each player needs their own copy of 7 Days to Die to join your server. We host the server side; the game itself comes from the store like always.
7 Days to Die is in our planned launch catalog. Join the waitlist, pick 7 Days to Die as your game, and we'll email you when it's live.
Your PC is the server, so the world is offline until you turn it back on, then it's right where you left it. The agent restarts 7 Days to Die for you automatically. An always-on managed tier on our hardware comes later.
