How much does a 7 Days to Die server cost? Real prices in 2026

The price of a 7 Days to Die server varies above all with RAM, the number of players and the presence of mods. Here are concrete benchmarks for 2026, from self-hosting to a high-end server. And if you want to compare directly, take a look at our 7 Days to Die hosting plans.

Self-hosting: "free" but costly in other ways

Setting up a dedicated server on your PC costs nothing in subscription, but your machine has to stay on 24/7 (electricity, wear) and absorb the blood moon spikes on top of your other uses. Not to mention the lack of DDoS protection. We cover it all in How to create a 7 Days to Die server.

With a host: ranges according to your needs

• 4 to 6 GB of RAM, small vanilla server among friends (up to ~8 players): from €3.99/month.
• 8 to 10 GB, server with a few mods or 10-16 players: around €7 to €12/month.
• 16 GB and up, big overhaul (Darkness Falls, Undead Legacy) or a large community: €13 to €20/month depending on the host.

These ranges assume good hardware. A "cheap" server on a slow CPU crashes at the very first horde: price alone means nothing without processor quality.

What really drives the price

• CPU frequency: 7 Days to Die depends above all on a single core. A Ryzen 9 7950X3D changes everything compared to an old Xeon, especially during the blood moon.
• NVMe storage vs HDD: world generation and backups.
• DDoS protection included or as a paid option.
• The panel and support: a good panel saves you hours.

The right reflex: look at the RAM / CPU quality / DDoS protection included ratio, not just the advertised price.
