Project Zomboid hosting FAQ
How much RAM does a Project Zomboid server need?
You don't pick a RAM size. RAM is uncapped and shared on CouchRaid servers and we watch it for you; the thing you pick is how many friends can join (player slots). Mods and more players use more memory, and the co-admin tells you if your server is ever running hot.
Why can't my friend connect?
Nine times out of ten they're missing a mod or on a different build. The co-admin compares their error to your mod list and points at the missing one.
Can I switch between Build 41 and 42?
Yes, from the panel. Saves are not compatible between builds, so we take a backup before switching.
Can I use my existing save?
Upload the Saves/Multiplayer folder and the server .ini/.lua config via the file manager, restart, done.
Is there a free trial?
48 hours on a 2-slot server, no credit card. Extend it once by 24 hours from the dashboard if you need more time; add a card to keep it.
Ready when your friends are.
48 hours free on the Duo plan, then from $5.99/mo.
