Project Zomboid Server Hosting in the USA (US East, Virginia)
Virginia, US EastDDoS protectedLive in 60 secondsfrom $14.99/mo
US East is our busiest Project Zomboid region. The servers sit in Northern Virginia, the densest internet hub in North America, and suit groups anywhere from the East Coast through the Midwest and the South. It is also the usual pick for a group split between the US and western Europe, because it sits between them.
Project Zomboid simulates every zombie, vehicle and container on the server, so every player feels the distance to it — most obviously as hits that land late, loot actions that lag and cars that jerk down the road. A data-centre server in the middle of your group evens that out, and it stays online when the friend who used to host goes to bed.
Every server runs Build 42 stable with a one-setting switch to the legacy Build 41 branch, installs Steam Workshop mods from your panel, and can load a Build 42 save you have already started. Players in Texas and the central states can also choose our Dallas region at checkout.
Everything included with the server — the dashboard, backups, mods and world upload — is on the main Project Zomboid server hosting page.

Questions
Project Zomboid hosting in Virginia, US East
Which US region should I choose?
US East (Virginia) for the East Coast, Midwest and South-East; Dallas for Texas and the central states. Both are offered at checkout. If your group is split coast to coast, pick the side with more players — and if it does not feel right, we can move the server.
How many players can join?
You set the player cap yourself in the server settings — we never price by seats. Plan RAM is what limits a busy server: the engine wants its base memory plus roughly half a gigabyte per concurrent player, so a 10GB server suits a small group of friends and 16GB carries a genuinely busy world.
Do Steam Workshop mods work here?
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.
Can I keep the server private?
Yes. Set a server password and share it with your group, or switch public visibility off so the server never appears in the in-game browser. Both are ordinary settings in your panel, whichever region you host in.
