Project Zomboid server hosting
Our Canadian region is in Montreal, which puts it close to the bulk of Canada’s players — Quebec, Ontario and the Atlantic provinces — without routing them through a US data centre first. Groups in the north-eastern United States often get a good result from Montreal too.
Project Zomboid runs the world on the server, so the round trip to it is what you feel: zombies that hit before they reach you, containers that open late, vehicles that stutter. Hosting in-country keeps that short for everyone, and the server keeps running whether or not the usual host is online.
Every server runs Build 42 stable with a one-setting switch to the legacy Build 41 branch, installs Steam Workshop mods from your panel, takes daily backups, and can load a Build 42 save you have already started.
Everything included with the server — the dashboard, backups, mods and world upload — is on the main Project Zomboid server hosting page.
Estimates from the distance to the datacentre, not a live measurement — your own connection moves them a few milliseconds either way.
Plans
Every plan runs on the same hardware in this region, with DDoS protection, automatic backups and instant setup included.
Questions
For Quebec, Ontario and the Atlantic provinces, yes. For Alberta and British Columbia the distance to Montreal is long; compare it with our US regions at checkout and choose whichever is closer to most of your players. We can move the server later if needed.
Yes, in every region. The server installs Workshop mods itself from the Workshop item list and the mod list in your panel, and downloads everything on boot. One Build 42 rule applies wherever the server is hosted: a mod has to be updated for Build 42 to load, so check the Workshop page before you add it.
If it is a Build 42 save, yes. Upload it through the panel file manager or SFTP and your map, characters and loot carry on, on a server that stays up whether or not the friend who used to host is online. Build 41 saves do not convert to Build 42 — that is The Indie Stone’s limitation, not a hosting one.
Yes. If your group shifts, open a ticket and we move the server, save and mod list included, to any other region Project Zomboid is sold in.
