7 Days to Die asks a lot of a server during the blood moon, when lots of zombies roam at once. For a small group, Standard is enough; with bigger hordes, Premium is the safe choice.

This server is for groups of friends who build a base together and survive the blood moon at their own pace. Got friends on a PlayStation 5 or Xbox? Read how crossplay works below first.
Just ordered? First steps after your order shows you how to get into the game panel. To change the settings in the Startup tab, see Change your server settings under Startup.
Set the difficulty in the Startup tab. Keep Auto Update on and your server stays on the latest version.
In serverconfig.xml you set the server name, a password, the day length, the blood moon and, if you like, crossplay. Then restart the server.
The first start takes a while, because the server creates the world. The console shows when it is ready.
Search for your server by name in the 7 Days to Die server list, or connect with the address and port from the game panel.
7 Days to Die is the zombie survival game by The Fun Pimps, with crafting, building and, by default, a blood moon with a big horde every seven days. Version 1.0 came out in July 2024, and version 2.0 added crossplay between PC, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S in 2025.
Many mods, especially ones with their own code, only work with EAC (Easy Anti-Cheat) off. For a PC server with mods, that is no problem. Crossplay with PlayStation 5 and Xbox needs the opposite: ServerAllowCrossplay and EAC on in serverconfig.xml, no more than 8 players, a world of at most 8192 and no mods. On top of that, consoles use a few ports right after the game port, and those are not part of your server by default. If you want crossplay, open a ticket first and we will see whether we can set up those ports for you.
We start 7 Days to Die at 8 GB: enough for a group on a standard world. The blood moon is the heaviest moment, with lots of zombies at once. If you play on a large world you generated yourself, or with mods, choose SuperCake 12 GB or MegaCake 16 GB.
In the Startup tab you choose the difficulty, automatic updates and, if you like, a beta branch. Most settings live in serverconfig.xml: the server name, a password, the world size, the day length, the blood moon and crossplay. With the Telnet password you manage the server remotely. Restart the server after a change. Before a big game update, make a backup, so you can always go back to your old world. How that works is in Create and restore a backup.

Every CakeHosting game server comes as Standard or Premium. How do they differ in processor, location and price, and when is Premium worth paying for?
Your server is ordered. Here’s how to pay your invoice, log in to the game panel, start your server and invite your friends, step by step.
How to connect to your server over SFTP in FileZilla or WinSCP: where to find the details, which port and username to use, and how to fix errors.
Use a schedule in the game panel to restart your server automatically, with a warning for your players, and avoid the time zone trap.
How to back up your server in the game panel, schedule automatic backups and restore a backup when something goes wrong.
Since version 2.0 they can, but your server has to be ready for it: crossplay and EAC on in serverconfig.xml, a world of 8192 or smaller, no mods and a few extra ports right after the game port. Those ports are not part of your server by default, so open a ticket first and we will see whether we can set them up for you.
Yes, but then without crossplay. A crossplay server can’t have mods and needs EAC on, while many mods need EAC off. So a modded server is a server for PC players.
Your server has 8 slots, which is also the maximum for crossplay. Want more slots without crossplay? Open a ticket.
Yes. In serverconfig.xml you set how often the blood moon comes and how big the hordes are. Then restart your server.
At least 8 GB for a group on a standard world. On a large world or with mods, choose 12 or 16 GB.
Add your own player ID with permission level 0 to serveradmin.xml, or type admin add in the console with your player ID and level 0. Level 0 gives you the most rights.
