Server hosting

HumanitZ

Dedicated server hosting for HumanitZ.
Automatic setup after ordering, easy management from the game panel and backups.
Survive together with your friends in the same world, at any hour.

You set the number of concurrent players yourself from the game panel; no plan caps it.
How many play comfortably depends on your world size, how much you have built, and the plan’s CPU cores and memory.

TRANSPARENCY

Putting an end to confusing pricing.

The game-server hosting industry is full of pricing practices that are hard to understand.
We refuse to accept that.

Common industry practices

Confusing pricing

  • Cheap first month, then a sharp jump Discounts like “50% off the first month” make the monthly price look low, then it multiplies from the second month.
  • Forced long-term prepayment A “¥xxx/mo” headline that only applies with a 12-month upfront payment, while paying monthly costs far more.
  • First-year-only discounted pricing “First-year price” or “campaign price” is shown prominently, hiding the regular price from year two and the change at auto-renewal.
  • Cancellation fees & minimum terms With a discount applied, cancelling within the term incurs a penalty, making it hard to leave even when your setup changes.
  • The auto-renewal trap It auto-renews from the intro price, and before you know it you’re billed the regular price (sometimes 2–3×).
Our promise

Clear, transparent pricing

  • Listed price = price you pay The monthly price shown on this page keeps applying as-is. There are no hidden increases.
  • Monthly billing, no lock-in Simple monthly-only pricing. No annual contracts or long-term lock-in.
  • Clear total pricing We show both tax-excluded and tax-included prices, so you can clearly confirm what you’ll actually pay before ordering.
  • No cancellation fee, no minimum term Cancel anytime when your setup changes. We never charge a penalty.
  • Prorated up/downgrades Plan changes settle only the difference. No need to “just pick the bigger plan to be safe.”

FEATURES

Service Features

Every plan includes the following features as standard.

⚙️

Automatic setup

After you order, your server is built and delivered fully set up automatically. To manage it, an intuitive dedicated game panel lets you change settings, upload/download files and handle a wide range of needs.

High performance

All hardware is built from durable, server-grade components. If you outgrow your specs, you can easily upgrade while keeping your data.

Even at peak times, move to a server with more headroom yourself in one click. World data and settings carry over. Learn more →

📡

Monitoring for stutter

We continuously monitor how each server behaves and detect early signs of rubber-banding (stutter). What we find feeds back into how we size and design resources, so play stays smooth.

🛡️

DDoS protection

The game servers are protected by a system that defends against DDoS attacks. We provide a stable game-server environment.

INFRASTRUCTURE

The unglamorous work of staying online.

Our servers are housed in a data centre with the following facilities.

HOW DATA TRAVELS Player Line A Line B Redundant network (2 routes) Game server Spare units included Storage Spread across NVMe SSDs (Ceph) HOW POWER TRAVELS Mains power Normal operation UPS (battery backup) N+1: one more than needed On-site generator For longer outages Powers the serversIf one part stops, another path or another unit takes over.
Redundant servers

Equipment is run with spares in place, so a single hardware failure does not take the service down.

Redundant storage (Ceph · NVMe)

Your data is held across multiple NVMe SSDs. If one drive fails, the data is not lost.

Redundant network

There is more than one route to the internet, so traffic keeps flowing even if one path goes down.

UPS with N+1

Battery units keep the power on during an outage, and we keep one more unit than strictly required — so power continues even if a unit fails.

On-site generator

For longer outages there is a generator on site. It takes over while the UPS bridges the gap.

Keeping your server online is the priority — starting with the facilities it runs on.

PAYMENT

We don’t store your card number.

Payments are processed by PayPal, Square and Stripe.

We never store your full card number

For card payments, the card number itself is held by our payment processor (Stripe), which is PCI DSS compliant. All we keep is the brand, last 4 digits and expiry date to identify the card, plus an encrypted token used for recurring billing.

We never store your security code

With any payment method, we never store your card’s security code (CVV / CVC).

3-D Secure supported

Stripe card payments support 3-D Secure, your card issuer’s cardholder authentication. VISA / Mastercard / JCB / American Express are accepted.

Here is exactly how each payment method is handled.

Stripe card payment (recurring; 3-D Secure supported)
The card number itself is stored securely by our payment processor (Stripe), which is PCI DSS compliant. We do not keep the full card number on our servers — only the brand, last 4 digits and expiry date to identify the card, plus an encrypted payment token used for recurring billing. Subsequent charges are processed with that token.
PayPal (recurring)
With PayPal recurring payments, your card details are stored neither on our servers nor by our payment processor. All we keep is the billing-agreement ID issued by PayPal and billing information such as the next charge date and amount. Your funding source (PayPal balance, linked bank account, linked card, and so on) stays entirely within your PayPal account.
Square (one-time)
Square payments are one-time only. Recurring billing is not supported, and we never store any information used for future charges (card details, tokens, and so on). To keep your service running, please complete the payment again at each renewal.
Cancel or remove a payment method at any time
You can remove or change a stored payment method from the client portal at any time (for PayPal, you can cancel automatic payments from the “Automatic payments” settings in your PayPal account). If you would like your service to stop renewing, please submit a cancellation request (“End of billing period”) from the client portal. There are no cancellation fees and no minimum term.

We issue an invoice about one week before the due date and email it to your registered address. For full details see Payment methods for usage fees →.

CONTINUOUS IMPROVEMENT

We keep improving.

The main updates to our HumanitZ dedicated servers.

We continuously improve our HumanitZ dedicated servers to provide a more comfortable and stable environment.

September 2026
Stronger propagation of settings from the control panel

We strengthened the way server settings changed in the panel are applied to the game. Changes such as the server name, the password and the gameplay balance take effect right after a restart.

Automatic verification of settings

We added a step that reads the settings back after writing them and checks them against what was intended. If a write does not finish, the half-written state is not applied and the previous settings are kept as they were. This keeps the server from starting with a damaged settings file.

Automatic tracking of game updates

When the game adds or changes settings on its side, the server now follows the latest settings format automatically. You do not need to rebuild your settings after every update.

Detailed gameplay settings

PvP, experience multipliers, zombie strength and spawn counts, season and day/night length, weather, supply rarity, base decay, vehicle limits and more — 87 items can be configured from the control panel.

Automatic backup of the settings file

We introduced a mechanism that automatically backs up the settings file on every start and keeps a number of generations.

See improvements from August 2026 onwards
Automatic updates and self-repair

HumanitZ is updated to the latest version automatically when the server restarts. On top of that, a mechanism that detects and repairs inconsistencies in the server files keeps operation stable.

Better detection of server startup

Alongside the game’s version updates, we improved how reliably the control panel detects that a server has finished starting.

Automatic assignment of several ports

We added automatic assignment of the ports used for the game, for server search and for administration. You do not need to set port numbers yourself.

* Only the main improvements are listed here.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How soon can I use my server after ordering?
Your server is built automatically once payment is complete. It is usually ready within a few minutes to half an hour, and we email you when setup finishes.
For what to do next, see Logging in to the game panel.
The steps through to connecting are covered in HumanitZ – Initial Setup.
Can I change plan later?
Yes. You can upgrade or downgrade at any time from the client portal, keeping all your server data, and you only pay the difference.
See How to upgrade or downgrade.
How many people can play together?
The number of concurrent players is set by you from the game panel, and we do not cap it by plan. How many play comfortably depends on your world size, how much you have built, and the plan’s CPU cores and memory. For a larger group, or a heavily built world you intend to run long term, choose a plan with more cores and memory.
Are backups available?
Every plan keeps 3 generations of backups, and you can create or restore them from the game panel at any time.
You can also take them on a schedule (setting up a schedule).
Can I edit configuration files and upload files?
Yes. You can edit and upload your server’s configuration files directly from the file browser in the game panel. FTP is also supported, which makes moving in from another host straightforward.
Can I let a friend help manage the server?
You can add a friend’s email address in the game panel and grant them access. Permissions can be limited (console only, for example) or full administrative access.
See Sharing access to the game panel.
Which payment methods can I use?
PayPal, Square and Stripe credit card payments (with 3D Secure). See Payment methods for usage fees for details.
Is there a minimum term or cancellation fee?
No. Our pricing is monthly only, with no long-term commitment and no cancellation fees. You can cancel at any time.
See How to cancel your game server service.
Do you support languages other than Japanese?
Yes. Support tickets are handled in multiple languages (AI translation: Korean / Chinese / English), and the game panel can be switched between Japanese, English, Chinese, Korean and more.
I cannot find my server in the server list
HumanitZ’s default server list holds public servers from all over the world, and the game only retrieves a limited number of them at a time. Because of that, searching by server name does not always show your server.
In that case we recommend setting a dedicated Search ID.
1. Open your server in the control panel and go to Startup
2. Change SEARCH_ID to any string that is unlikely to clash with others (letters and numbers recommended)
3. Save, then stop the server completely and start it again
4. On the game’s server list screen, type that string into the Search ID field on the right and search
This lets you find your own server reliably.
* Once a dedicated Search ID is set, your server no longer appears in the default list and is found with the Search ID instead.

Survive the outbreak,
together.

From $6.57/month (excl. tax, $7.22 incl. tax) you get a dedicated HumanitZ server.
No minimum term — cancel any time.
