Prices include everything, with nothing added at checkout. No VAT will be added to these prices. Each server renews automatically until you cancel, in one step in HQ, and we email you before each renewal. Pay by card, Apple Pay or Google Pay. Founder offer: 10% off your first 12 months (on your first server only, for the first 200 accounts that pay, one per person; closes at 200 or on 31 March 2027). 72-hour full refund on your first purchase (one per customer). A thread is half of a processor core; bursts use idle processor time on the machine, so they aren’t guaranteed.

What you get on 7 Days to Die

7 Days to Die

Restarts on your timetable

Schedule restarts in UK time, for example before a blood moon, and players get warnings first.

7 Days to Die

Server settings in a form

Gameplay options in plain words (day length, blood moons, XP, loot, zombie speed) and land claims in one form. The most changed ones come first.

7 Days to Die

Saves before every backup

HQ runs saveworld and waits for it to finish before the backup.

7 Days to Die

Console kept private

The admin console is reached only from HQ. Its password is made for you and never shown in the logs.

On every Exclsv server

BackupsAutomatic backups every hour, kept for 48 hours, and off-site backups every 6 hours, with 7 daily copies kept.
Undo and the BinUndo this change takes back one settings save, and a roll-back can be undone too. Deleted files wait in the Bin for 7 days.
Saved setupsUp to 3 on one server, say a modded world and a vanilla one. Switch in seconds.
Crash careAfter a crash HQ starts the server again and tells you why it stopped. If it keeps crashing, HQ names the likely cause and offers to remove it.
Memory that’s yours6 to 16 GB of DDR4 ECC memory, never shared or oversold, plus CPU threads that are always yours.
UKAn AMD Ryzen CPU, 128 GB DDR4 ECC memory, NVMe storage and always-on network DDoS protection.
A person on supportBy ticket or email.

Mods and loaders

Upload mod zips on HQ’s Mods tab, from your computer or a link, up to 20 GB each. HQ checks each mod is laid out correctly and takes a backup before it goes in, and you switch mods on or off there.

Good to know before you buy

What 7 Days to Die on Exclsv can’t do, or does differently.

  • Mods are upload only: 7 Days to Die has no mod API for HQ to install from.
  • Large maps use a lot of memory on horde nights. Public suits an 8k map.
  • PC only.

Questions about 7 Days to Die servers

When can I order a 7 Days to Die server?

We plan to open orders on launch day, Mon 8 Feb 2027, once the server has passed our tests. Nothing is on sale before then: join the Discord to hear first.

How much does a 7 Days to Die server cost?

£11.99 a month for 8 slots and 6 GB, £22.99 for 20 slots and 12 GB, or £31.99 for 30 slots and 16 GB.

Why does my server lag on blood moon?

Horde nights spawn a lot at once and memory use grows over a long session. Schedule a restart before the blood moon, and choose a plan with room for your map.

Can I use mods?

Yes. Upload the zips on HQ’s Mods tab, up to 20 GB each, or over SFTP. There is no mod API for HQ to install from.

Why isn’t my server showing up?

Use Connect to IP with the address and port from HQ. HQ keeps the server’s game ports together for you.

Can I change the day length and loot?

Yes, in HQ’s settings form. It writes the file while the server is stopped, checks it, then starts it.
