Very helpful and responsive
I opened a ticket for help migrating my server from a different host. The game is Palworld and it isn't a simple process, they did it for me! Very helpful and responsive.

Insanely reliable service
Their prices are pretty cheap and I thought they'd cut back on performance but damn was I wrong. The service has been insanely reliable and the Support Team are on their own level!

Frequently Asked Questions
Find answers to common questions about Project Zomboid server hosting.
Your server is provisioned automatically and you'll get login details for the [LOW.MS Control Panel](https://control.low.ms) by email within a few minutes. From there, hit Start, wait for the first-boot log lines to settle, then open Web Console to run `/setaccesslevel "YourUsername" "admin"` once you're in-game. Everything else — settings, mods, backups — is in the sidebar.
Yes, and there are two ways. The easy one is Mod Manager in the panel sidebar — it's a curated Steam Workshop browser with one-click install, which is what we'd recommend for most people. The manual route is opening `servertest.ini` in Configuration Files and adding the workshop IDs to the `WorkshopItems=` line and the mod IDs to `Mods=`. Restart the server after either and the mods will download on next start.
Yes, with a caveat. Build 42 is still on the unstable branch as of early 2026 — Indie Stone shipped Build 42 multiplayer to unstable in December 2025 and there's no stable release date yet. You can flip your server over using the "Switch to Latest Experimental" button in the panel sidebar, but The Indie Stone currently recommend whitelisted servers with 20 players or fewer while B42 MP is in stress-test. If you want a rock-solid production server today, stick with Build 41 stable.
Open Configuration Files in the panel sidebar and edit `servertest_SandboxVars.lua`. Zombie density is controlled by the `Zombies` variable (1 = Insane, 4 = Normal, 5 = Low), and loot is split across per-category keys like `FoodLoot`, `WeaponLoot`, and `OtherLoot` — each on a 1–4 scale. Restart the server for changes to take effect. Our [server configuration guide](/knowledgebase/project-zomboid-server-configuration) walks through the settings that actually matter for multiplayer.
Your player cap is whatever the slot count on your plan is. You can also raise or lower `MaxPlayers` in `servertest.ini` (default 64) if you want a lower hard cap. For Build 41 stable, 10-16 is a comfortable active cap for most groups; Build 42 MP is still unstable and Indie Stone recommend keeping groups to 20 or fewer while it's in stress-test. See our [Project Zomboid plans](/game-servers/project-zomboid-server-hosting) for slot tiers.
Yes — automatic Cloud Backups are included on every plan. You'll find **Cloud Backup** and **Cloud Restore** as two separate entries in the panel sidebar; Cloud Restore is the one you want when something goes wrong. Project Zomboid also keeps its own in-game backups in `Zomboid/Backups/` that you can grab via File Manager or SFTP (port 8822) if you prefer that route.
Once you've promoted yourself via `/setaccesslevel "YourUsername" "admin"`, you can type commands directly into the in-game chat. Common ones: `/additem` to spawn items, `/teleport` to move players, `/kick` and `/ban` for moderation, `/save` to force a world save. You can also run any command from **Web Console** in the panel sidebar, which is useful if you need to recover access or act on the server without being in-game. Our [getting started guide](/knowledgebase/project-zomboid-getting-started) has the full access-level breakdown.
More than most hosts pretend. A small 2-5 player vanilla server runs comfortably on around 4 GB. Once you're at 8-10 players with a handful of mods you want 8 GB minimum and ideally more, and a mod-heavy 15-player server can easily push 12 GB. Build 42 is noticeably heavier than Build 41 so plan for extra headroom if you're running the unstable branch. All our plans ship with plenty of RAM for the slot count you pick, and you can upgrade in-place if you need more — see [Project Zomboid plans](/game-servers/project-zomboid-server-hosting).

What is Project Zomboid
Project Zomboid is the isometric zombie survival game that does not let you win. You build a base, scrounge for cans of beans, try to keep your characters alive, and eventually die in a way you will remember. On a private server with a few friends, that loop gets a lot more interesting — you get to argue about where to loot next, whose turn it is to cook, and who left the generator off. Hosting your own Project Zomboid server on LOW.MS gives you a persistent Knox County apocalypse for your group, with full control over sandbox settings, mods from the Steam Workshop, and who is allowed in. We run PZ on dedicated bare-metal nodes with automatic cloud backups, DDoS protection, and 24/7 support. Build 41 stable is what most customers run in production today; Build 42 unstable multiplayer is available for customers who want to experiment with the new crafting disciplines, animal husbandry, and taller map.
