Survive The Knox Event
Project Zomboid is the ultimate hardcore zombie survival sandbox. Set in Knox Country, Kentucky, you are dropped into a massive, persistent map where death is inevitable. From grinding carpentry to build rain collector barrels, to hotwiring cars and escaping the terrifying Helicopter Event, every choice matters.
Hosting a private dedicated server is the definitive way to play Build 41+ multiplayer. Public servers can be chaotic, fully looted, or plagued by griefers. By renting a server through our partner link, you dictate the rules. Want a punishing "Sprinters Only" winter run? Or a relaxed co-op builder focused on restoring a safehouse in Louisville? The choice is yours.
In-Depth Base Building
Take over existing structures or build from scratch. Plumb sinks, wire generators, and barricade windows. Server hosting ensures your base is persistent 24/7 for all faction members.
Steam Workshop Mods
Project Zomboid thrives on mods. Easily add custom maps like Raven Creek, vehicle armors, expanded weapons, or True Music directly through the server control panel.
Massive Hordes
Navigate the migration patterns of thousands of zombies. A high-performance server handles zombie pathfinding effortlessly, preventing lag spikes when alarms go off.

Got questions about running your own apocalypse? We've got answers.
How long does setup take?
Setup is completely automated through ZAP-Hosting. Your Project Zomboid server will be online, pre-configured, and ready to play within minutes of your payment clearing.
Can I install Steam Workshop mods?
Yes! Project Zomboid is heavily reliant on mods. You can easily add them by pasting the Workshop IDs and Mod IDs into your server config file via the control panel.
How much RAM do I need?
For a vanilla server with 2-4 players, 4GB is a good start. If you plan on adding massive modpacks (like Brita's or custom maps) or hosting 10+ players, we highly recommend 8GB to 16GB+.
Can I change sandbox settings after starting?
Yes. You can edit your sandboxvars.lua file at any time to change zombie spawn rates, loot rarity, or XP multipliers. Changes will apply after a quick server restart.
