How to Set Up a 7 Days to Die Server
Renting a 7 Days to Die server is the easiest way to play in a persistent world with friends. Setup on AnkSOFT is fully automatic: after payment your server is created, the official server files are downloaded from Steam and the server starts by itself. Your panel details arrive by email.
On the Startup tab of the panel you change the server name, password, player slots, world, difficulty, day length and blood moon frequency. Enter your Steam64 ID in the Admin field to become a full admin on the server. The server console is connected to the panel, so you type commands directly there.
Each plan runs with its own core and RAM limits. High clock Ryzen 9 processors reduce stutter during heavy blood moon fights.
The game server files take about 17 GB. The NVMe SSD space in each plan leaves room for world saves, mods and logs.
Popular servers attract attacks; L3/L4 AnkArmor DDoS protection tuned for game traffic is standard on every plan.
Your server appears in the in-game server browser automatically. The game port and extra ports are assigned during setup, no firewall work needed.
Our servers are hosted in our data center in Turkey on a high bandwidth network. With automatic updates on, your server pulls the latest build from Steam on every start while your settings, world and mods are kept.
EasyAntiCheat is on by default. You can pick a Steam branch (for example the experimental build) from the panel; players just need the same version.
World, Save and Mod Management
Your server ships with Navezgane, the official handcrafted map. From the World field you can switch to pregenerated worlds (Pregen06k01, Pregen06k02, Pregen08k01, Pregen08k02) or enter RWG to generate a new random world with your own seed and size.
World saves are kept per world and save name in UserData/Saves. If you change the Save Name a new game starts in the same world and your old save is kept. Server side mods (modlets) go into the Mods folder.
Install a mod in 3 steps
Upload the mod folder
Upload the mod folder to Mods with the Files tab or SFTP. Every mod must contain a ModInfo.xml.
Check compatibility
XML only mods work with EasyAntiCheat on. For mods with DLL files set Anti Cheat to 0; players need the same mod installed.
Restart
Restart the server; the console shows a line confirming the mod was loaded.
Common commands in the panel console
- help: lists all console commands.
- listplayers (lp): shows connected players, their Steam IDs and ping.
- saveworld: saves the world immediately; use it before big changes.
- say "message": broadcasts a message to all players.
- kick and ban add: kick a player or ban them for a period.
- admin add: gives a player admin rights; admins added from the panel are kept on every start.

Tips for Your 7 Days to Die Server
The most common problems with a 7 Days to Die server are RAM, world choice and mod compatibility. Check these before you go live:
- RAM: start with the Starter plan for up to 8 players; move up as players, world size and mods grow.
- World: Navezgane or a 6K pregenerated world starts fastest. Generating a new RWG world makes the first start longer.
- Permissions: put your Steam64 ID in the Admin field; you can also use admin commands from the in-game console (F1).
- Preparation: set a password or visibility 0 until the server is ready.
- Mods: make sure mods match your server version; an incompatible mod can stop the server from starting.
- Backups: before big updates or mod changes run saveworld and download the UserData folder over SFTP.
Which ports does a 7 Days to Die server use?
| Port | Protocol | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Game port | TCP and UDP | Player connections and server browser queries (26900 by default on your own PC). |
| Game port + 1 | UDP | Extra port reserved for your server. |
| Game port + 2 | UDP | Game data connection (LiteNetLib). |
All three ports are assigned to your server during setup; no port forwarding or firewall work is needed.
