7 Days To Die Server Hosting Plans Comparison

How to Choose the Right Server Hosting Plan?

Selecting the ideal server hosting plan depends on your play style, team size, and desired game modifications. Here's a breakdown to help you decide:

• Plan S: Ideal for small, casual player groups (2-5) who prefer the official, unmodded (vanilla) game experience. This plan supports all default maps and random maps up to 6K. Simply order and enjoy the fun!
• Plan M: The best option for more active players and teams of 5 or more. With Plan M, you can install individual modlets, utilize random maps up to 10K, and upload your existing game saves. This plan also supports popular modpacks like Darkness Falls. Refer to the table below for a full list of included modpacks.
• Plan L: If you intend to run resource-intensive overhaul modpacks such as War3zuk, or Darkness Falls or if you aim to create a small public server for 16+ players, Plan L is designed for you. This plan allows the use of experimental maps up to 12K.
• Plan XL: Tailored for the most advanced players, Plan XL enables you to run the most demanding overhaul mods like Undead Legacy or host a large community public server. You'll be able to utilize maps up to 16K (experimental).

Still Undecided? Key Factors to Consider:

Two primary factors should guide your choice of a server rental plan:

• Number of Players: Each plan has a maximum concurrent player limit. Ensure the plan you choose can comfortably accommodate your team size.
• Maps, Modpacks, and Customizations: Consider the map sizes you wish to explore and any specific modpacks or game customizations you want to use. Larger maps and complex mods generally require more server resources. For an optimal gaming experience, maps should be sufficiently large to provide ample space for each player.
