- 1How to host a server
7 Days To Die Steam Key Free
A Server is used for playing with multiple people in the same world. Servers can be hosted by yourself, as well as by a server hosting company.Servers officially only support up to 8 people as of A19, but some servers run upwards of 20-30 players. These servers also incur more play-ability issues though, because of the high number of players.

Port Forwarding[edit | edit source]
If you are behind a router, you will need to tell your router that an incoming connection is meant for your server. This is called forwarding a port. You will need to port forward ports 25000-25003(UDP) so that others may join.
If router support UPnP - you can use this http://upnp-portmapper.sourceforge.net/
Don't know how to port forward? follow these instructions:
- Go to this Site
- Select your router brand
- Select your router version (if your version is not there, pick the one closest to your version.)
- Select 7 Days to Die (Except that you port forward 26900 to 26903 instead of 25000-25003)
- Follow the instructions on the site
If you have completed these steps correctly, your friends should now be able to join.
Finding your own IP[edit | edit source]
To find the IP which your friends need to use go to Whats my IP .org. There you will find your External IP. Send it to your friends and they should be able to join if you have already finished Port Forwarding (steps above) your router.
Looking for servers[edit | edit source]
If you are looking for a server to play on, you can find one on the the server browser on your game client.
- For computers on the same local network as the server you can connect to it by using its LAN IP address, simply enter this and the chosen port number into the two boxes at the bottom of the games server browser screen.
- To find the LAN IP address 'Go to start, click run or search, type cmd. In the window that opens type ipconfig. You'll see a list of information. You're looking for the IP address.'
Example:Ethernet adapter Local Area Connection:
Where mine says 192.168.1.100 that's the IP your server has.
7 Days To Die Steamdb
- If your client and server are running on the same machine it is possible to use the loopback IP address, which is either accessed via 'localhost' or 127.0.0.1
Renting a server[edit | edit source]
There are several companies/websites that allow you to rent a server from them. This rented server will reside in a data center and hosted by them.
These servers are mostly 24/7 servers. This is useful because you won't need to keep your computer running 24/7. You can rent servers to many different specifications, some may not be powerful enough to host a server. Generally, network connections at a datacenter far exceed what is available to residential ISPs, which will cut down on latency that you might experience hosting at home.
Managing a server[edit | edit source]
Before setting up a server manager, it is strongly recommended to install Alloc's Server Fixes. Website
Then you have a large selection of tools to choose from for managing your server.
- Botman - Website - Forum threadNotes: Works with current version of client/server a16.4 and a17e.
