Project Zomboid
Project Zomboid dedicated server hosting. Port configuration is typically not required, admin passwords are automatically issued per server, select Build 42 and Build 41 from the panel.
HIGHLIGHTS
We handle the hassle of managing Project Zomboid servers.
Port assignment, admin password issuance, game version switching—everything is managed directly from the game panel.
The two ports used by Project Zomboid are automatically assigned and configured in the game settings automatically. The connection details are displayed in the game panel console. In the rare case that a second additional port is needed, you can adjust it directly from the game panel.
Initial passwords are not reused; a unique password is created for each server. You can view it in the game panel console and change it to a value of your choosing.
The latest stable version (Build 42) is the default. The legacy version Build 41 is also selectable from the game panel (starting a new world with Build 41).

TRANSPARENCY
Ending confusing pricing structures.
Confusing pricing practices are widespread in the game server hosting industry.
We do not accept this.
Confusing pricing
-
✗Cheap first month, then skyrocketing prices Discounts like “50% off the first month” make the monthly rate appear low, but prices jump several times higher from the second month onward.
-
✗Forced long-term upfront payment While advertising “¥◯◯◯ per month,” that price only applies when paying 12 months upfront—monthly payments cost significantly more.
-
✗Discounted pricing displayed for first year only Large displays of “First-year limited price” or “Campaign price” obscure the regular prices from year 2 onward and auto-renewal price changes.
-
✗Cancellation fees and minimum terms When discounts apply, early cancellation incurs penalties. Once your gaming needs change, it’s difficult to leave.
-
✗Auto-renewal trap Auto-renewal happens at the initial discount price, but you suddenly find yourself charged the regular price (sometimes 2–3 times higher) without realizing it.
Clear and transparent pricing
- ✓Displayed price = Price you pay The monthly rate listed on the page applies consistently and continuously. No hidden price increases.
- ✓Month-to-month billing with no lock-in Pricing is simple: monthly only. No annual contracts or long-term commitments.
-
✓Clear total price display There is nothing charged on top of the amount shown here.
-
✓No cancellation fees or minimum terms When your gaming needs change, cancel anytime. We never charge penalties.
-
✓Pro-rata billing for upgrades and downgrades Plan changes are settled by difference only. No need to “just pick the bigger plan” to be safe.
PAYMENT
We do not store card numbers with us.
Payments are processed by PayPal, Square, and Stripe.
For credit card payments, the card number itself is stored by a payment processor (Stripe) that complies with PCI DSS. We only retain the card brand, last 4 digits, expiration date for card identification, and an encrypted token used for recurring billing.
Regardless of the payment method, we do not store the card’s security code (CVV/CVC).
Stripe credit card payments support 3D Secure, a cardholder authentication service provided by card companies. You can use VISA, Mastercard, JCB, and American Express.
You can confirm the handling for each payment method below.

INFRASTRUCTURE
Unglamorous preparation to keep things running.
Our servers are installed in data centers in Japan equipped with the following infrastructure.
Equipment is operated with backup units included. We prepare so that the failure of a single unit does not directly result in service interruption.
Data is held distributed across multiple NVMe SSDs. Even if one unit fails, data is not lost.
Multiple paths to the Internet are secured. Communication can be maintained even if one path experiences an outage.
We provide one more unit than necessary so power does not cut out during outages. Even if one device fails, power supply continues.
In preparation for extended power outages, we have installed a generator. It takes over while the UPS maintains power.
