7 Days to Die server hosting

7 Days to Die server hosting with CFTools Architect runs the dedicated server on a machine you control. The weekly rhythm is a blood moon, a restart that does not land on that night, and a mod set that has to match the build. Architect installs the server, updates the game and mods, edits configuration, backs up the save, restarts on a schedule, recovers from crashes, and can wipe the world. Cloud RCon is not available for 7 Days to Die.

Hosting highlights

Dedicated Navezgane or a random world

Deploy 7 Days to Die to a Windows or Linux host you control. The world seed stays on that disk. Architect does not rent the zombie slot.

Mods that match the build

Mod management is supported for 7 Days to Die. Keep the mod set with the server so a game update and a mod update can be planned as one change.

Restarts away from blood moon

Schedule restarts in a quiet hour, not when the horde is walking. Automatic wipes are there when the group wants a new map after a long run.

Save backups before a mod update

A 7 Days save is the base you spent the week building. Back up before mods or the game itself update, then restore if the new set will not boot.

Server configuration without a hunt

Edit 7 Days to Die server configuration from Manager. Difficulty, world settings, and the values you retune each playthrough stay on the server record.

Updates and crash recovery

Architect can update the dedicated server and the mods, then start again. Crash recovery covers a process that dies after a patch. Metrics show if the host ran out of memory.

How to self-host 7 Days to Die

Install Architect Agent on the machine, deploy the server, attach mods, and set a restart window that respects your blood-moon night. Open the game port. Webhooks can announce a stop. RBAC lets a friend restart the server without owning the VPS account.

7 Days to Die caveats

CFTools Cloud does not administer this title. Player bans over RCon are outside this hosting page. Mods are supported, and they still need a backup because a mod update can refuse an old save. The machine has to stay online through the horde, not only through the day.

Wipes and modded worlds

Automatic wipe cycles start a new world on purpose. They are separate from backups. On a modded server, wipe or update only after a backup, because the save and the mod list move together.

Frequently asked questions

How do I self-host a 7 Days to Die server?

Install CFTools Architect on a machine you control and deploy 7 Days to Die. Mods, updates, config, backups, restarts, and wipes are handled on that host.

Does CFTools sell 7 Days to Die slots?

No. Hosting means your own VPS or dedicated server. Architect is the agent that installs and maintains the game.

Can I host a modded 7 Days to Die server?

Yes. Mod management is supported, so the mod set can be updated with the dedicated server. Back up the save first.

Can I wipe the world on a schedule?

Yes. Automatic wipe cycles are supported when you want a new map. Keep a backup if the old base should remain recoverable.

Can restarts avoid blood moon night?

Yes. The scheduler lets you pick the restart window. Put it away from the horde so the server is up while players are defending.

Is there a 7DTD RCon tool in Cloud?

No. CFTools Cloud is not available for 7 Days to Die. This page is Architect hosting only.

What if a mod update will not boot?

Restore the backup from before the mod change. Crash recovery restarts a process that exits, and the backup is how you return to a known save.

Can I host 7 Days to Die on Linux?

Yes. Architect supports Windows and Linux for the machine that runs the dedicated server.
