Build 42.21 Stable · 49 hosts compared

Best Project Zomboid Server Hosting UK (Nov 2026)

Build 42 is now Stable on 42.21, and it is heavier than Build 41. Memory use grows as your group explores and adds mods, Build 41 saves do not carry over, and Workshop mods need B42 versions. We compared 49 hosts on RAM, London or nearby EU locations, backups, branch control and refund terms.

Quick verdict: Indifferent Broccoli is the best overall because its RAM is never capped. LOW.MS is the best London option with 10GB and strong backups. Host Havoc is the best managed pick with one-click Workshop collections.

Our top 3 Project Zomboid server hosts

Zomboid servers rarely fail on day one. They struggle months later, when the map is explored, the bases are full and the mod list has doubled. These three handle that best, each in a different way.

Indifferent Broccoli sells Project Zomboid by player count, not by memory. Every plan runs on machines with at least 128GB of RAM and lets the server take what it needs under fair use, so the four-player plan at £7.51/mo ($9.99) is not boxed in by a 6GB or 10GB ceiling. The one-player plan starts at £4.50/mo ($5.99), and the ladder runs up to 64 players.

That matters more in Zomboid than in most survival games. Memory use climbs as players explore new cells, stash loot in bases and add Workshop maps, even if the player count never changes. On a fixed-RAM host you buy for the world you expect in three months; here the plan grows with the world, which is why it takes our top spot.

The trade-off is location. The nearest regions are Frankfurt, Roubaix and Amsterdam rather than London, which still gives UK players comfortable ping but not the shortest route. The 2-day free trial needs no card, so you can upload your save, add your mods and check ping from your own connection before paying.

Our Indifferent Broccoli Project Zomboid review goes deeper on the Project Zomboid plans and panel, and the full Indifferent Broccoli review covers support, billing and other games.

Pros
  • Uncapped RAM suits Zomboid’s growing memory use
  • 2-day free trial with no card
  • Full file access for mods and saves
  • Clear player-based pricing
Cons
  • No London node
  • Price rises with every player tier

Refund / trial5-day full refund · no trial

LOW.MS is the pick for UK groups who want their Project Zomboid server in London. Its entry plan costs £7.48/mo ($9.95) and includes 10GB of RAM, which is a comfortable starting point for a small Build 42 group rather than a teaser tier you outgrow in a week.

The backup system is the standout for a game where one bad mod update can corrupt a long-running world. Backups go to cloud storage off the server, you can keep up to 20 per server, and you can lock the important ones so they are never cleared. Restores and downloads are one click from the Backups tab.

It sits second because 10GB is still a fixed ceiling. Most groups will never hit it, but a heavily modded world with a big map collection can, and Indifferent Broccoli removes that question entirely for a similar monthly price. There is no free trial, but LOW.MS offers a full refund within the first 5 days.

Our LOW.MS Project Zomboid review goes deeper on the Project Zomboid plans and panel, and the full LOW.MS review covers support, billing and other games.

Pros
  • London location
  • 10GB RAM on the entry plan
  • Up to 20 lockable cloud backups
  • 5-day full refund
Cons
  • No free trial
  • RAM is a fixed allowance

Slots8–32
LocationsLondon · Amsterdam · Frankfurt · Nuremberg
BackupsOffsite backups, easy restores
Refund / trial72-hour money-back · no trial

Host Havoc prices Project Zomboid by slots, starting at £9.02/mo ($12.00) for 8 players, with memory sized to the slot count. You can pick London, Amsterdam, Frankfurt or Nuremberg, and plans scale from 8 to 32 slots.

Its strength is the tooling around the server. The panel installs Steam Workshop mods and whole Workshop collections in one click, which saves a lot of copying Workshop IDs and Mod IDs by hand. Offsite backups and simple restores cover you when a Build 42 update breaks a mod. Host Havoc says its average ticket response is under 10 minutes.

The weak point is transparency on memory: the Project Zomboid page tells you RAM is sized to your slots rather than giving a GB figure. That is fine for a vanilla group, but if you plan a large mod list, ask support what your plan includes before you buy.

Support, billing and the control panel are covered in our full Host Havoc review.

Pros
  • London plus three EU locations
  • One-click Workshop collections
  • Offsite backups with easy restores
  • Fast support response
Cons
  • RAM figure not published per plan
  • 72-hour refund window is short

DatHost has one plan: 16GB of DDR5 RAM and unlimited slots for £12.45/mo ($16.56) a month, or £5.77/mo ($7.67) a month on yearly billing. There are no tiers to choose between, which removes the guesswork for a community that is already big or heavily modded.

16GB is more than a fresh four-player world needs, but it is a sensible size for a busy server with a long Workshop list and a well-explored map. DatHost includes daily backups, easy wipes that keep your config, and you can move the server between locations, including London.

The 14-day money-back guarantee is the longest in this comparison. The catch is monthly cost: on monthly billing it is more than the top four, so it makes most sense if you either need 16GB or are happy to commit to a year.

Our DatHost Project Zomboid review goes deeper on the Project Zomboid plans and panel, and the full DatHost review covers support, billing and other games.

Pros
  • 16GB DDR5 on the only plan
  • Unlimited slots

  • 14-day money-back
Cons
  • Monthly price higher than the top four
  • Best price needs yearly billing

Kinetic Hosting sells Project Zomboid in two clear RAM tiers: 8GB at £6.01/mo ($7.99) and 12GB at £9.77/mo ($12.99). Those prices make it one of the best GB-per-pound options in this list, and the 12GB tier gives a modded community real headroom.

The panel is built for admins who tinker. Kinetic lists Build 42 support, version switching, existing save uploads, custom mods and maps, automatic backups, SFTP and scheduled actions on its Project Zomboid page. Those tools make it easy to test a new Workshop list on a copy of your world before it goes live.

It is fourth because the top three are stronger in one specific area each: uncapped RAM, London backups or managed support. If you want the most RAM for under £10 a month and like managing mods yourself, Kinetic is the best value here.

Support, billing and the control panel are covered in our full Kinetic Hosting review.

Pros
  • 8GB and 12GB at low prices
  • Build 42 and version switching
  • Save uploads and SFTP
  • London location
Cons
  • No free trial
  • Only two RAM tiers

RAMUp to 10GB
Slots10–100

BackupsScheduled offsite backups
Refund / trial24-hour refund · no trial

GTX Gaming prices by slots: 10 slots with up to 10GB of RAM start at £9.50/mo ($12.64), 20 slots at £18.60/mo ($24.74), and the ladder runs up to 100 slots. The Build 41 Legacy server costs the same as Build 42, which is useful if your group is split on moving to the new build.

That branch choice is the reason to pick GTX. You can keep a B41 world running for players who rely on older mods while a fresh B42 server gets going, and switch later without moving host. Steam Workshop management, scheduled offsite backups, SFTP and help migrating an existing world are all included.

The 24-hour refund window is the shortest here, so set the server up and test it on day one. Larger plans also add RAM and CPU priority as named packages, so compare the full plan rather than the slot count alone.

Support, billing and the control panel are covered in our full GTX Gaming review.

Pros
  • B41 Legacy and B42 Stable at the same price
  • London servers
  • Workshop management and offsite backups
  • Scales to 100 slots
Cons
  • 24-hour refund window
  • Slot pricing gets expensive for big groups

Shockbyte keeps Project Zomboid simple with three tiers: 4GB for about six players at £9.02/mo ($11.99), 6GB for ten players at £12.77/mo ($16.99) and an 8GB+ plan for 16 or more players at £15.04/mo ($20.00).

Every plan includes Build 42, mod support, automatic updates and backups, FTP access and DDoS protection, plus a 72-hour self-serve refund. It is a straightforward choice if you want a large, established host and do not plan to manage the server much.

Value is the problem. 4GB is small for a Build 42 world that will grow, and the 8GB+ tier costs more than LOW.MS or Kinetic charge for 10GB to 12GB. Shockbyte is fine hosting, but it is hard to rank above the better-value Zomboid packages.

Support, billing and the control panel are covered in our full Shockbyte review.

Pros
  • Easy to choose between three tiers
  • Build 42 and mod support
  • Automatic backups
  • 72-hour self-serve refund
Cons
  • 4GB entry tier is small for Build 42
  • 8GB+ costs more than rivals’ 10–12GB

Apex Hosting sells Project Zomboid by RAM: 2GB at £6.01/mo ($7.99), 3GB at £9.02/mo ($11.99) and 6GB at £16.91/mo ($22.49) a month at the regular price. A custom build lets you pick other sizes.

The appeal is hand-holding. Apex offers 24/7 live chat as well as tickets, plus automatic backups and updates, which helps a first-time admin when a mod breaks after a Build 42 hotfix.

For Zomboid the RAM price is the problem. Apex describes 2GB as the minimum for the game, but a lasting Build 42 world needs 6GB or more, and that tier costs more than LOW.MS, Kinetic or GTX charge for 10GB or more.

Support, billing and the control panel are covered in our full Apex Hosting review.

Build 42

What Build 42 changes for server owners

Project Zomboid 42.20 moved to the Stable branch on 29 July 2026, and 42.21 followed on 28 September 2026. The Indie Stone is clear that Build 41 saves are not compatible with Build 42. Groups who want to keep an old world can stay on the legacy41 branch. Our Build 41 to Build 42 migration guide covers the safe order for the move.

Saves do not convertKeep an untouched B41 backup before you change branch.
Mods need B42 versionsWorkshop items now carry files per build, so B41 mods do not just work.
Multiplayer is still improving42.20.1 fixed chunk-unloading lag and 42.20.3 raised the player limit to 254.

For a host, that makes branch switching, self-service restores and good Workshop tools more valuable than a cheap slot price. Before you add mods, read our guide to adding Workshop mods and maps so that the Mod IDs and map load order are right first time.

RAM sizing

How much RAM a Project Zomboid server needs

There is no official RAM figure for every multiplayer world. These are practical sizes for Build 42, not a developer minimum. Zomboid is Java-based, so the plan’s memory only helps if the Java heap is set to use it. Our Project Zomboid server RAM guide explains how to size the heap.

ServerPlayersPractical RAMHosts that fit
Small vanilla group2–48GBIndifferent Broccoli 4-player, Kinetic 8GB, LOW.MS 10GB
Normal community5–1010–12GBLOW.MS 10GB, Kinetic 12GB, GTX 10 slots
Busy or modded10–2012–16GBKinetic 12GB, DatHost 16GB
Large heavy-mod server20+16GB+DatHost 16GB, Indifferent Broccoli uncapped

If your server already stutters, check our Project Zomboid lag fix guide before buying a bigger plan. Lag often comes from players spread across the map, zombie population or one heavy mod rather than a lack of RAM.

UK servers

Project Zomboid servers in the UK

For a group mostly in Britain, a London server gives the shortest route and the steadiest ping. 26 of the 49 hosts list a London or UK location. The table shows the ranked hosts; LogicServers, 4NetPlayers, Wabbanode, AleForge, Empower Servers, Sparked Host, Hostinger, PingPlayers, ScalaCube, HostPanel, GameServers.com, FREAKHOSTING, ZAP-Hosting, GameServerKings, Gaming Deluxe, MintServers, RocketNode, Gravel Host, Blue Fang Solutions, Streamline Servers, Citadel Servers also offer one, with prices in the full comparison table.

Self-hosting

Self-hosting vs renting a Project Zomboid server

You can run the dedicated server yourself through SteamCMD (app ID 380870) on Windows or Linux. By default it uses UDP 16261 for game traffic and UDP 16262 for direct connections, and both must be forwarded. Our Project Zomboid dedicated server setup guide walks through it step by step.

Self-hostRented server
CostFree if the PC is already onFrom £3.50/mo ($4.65)

RAMShared with your own game8–16GB set aside for the server

PortsForward UDP 16261 and 16262Handled by the host

Self-hosting suits a short test or a LAN weekend. For a world your group plays every week, a rented server is simpler. Our self-hosting guide and dedicated hosting explainer cover the trade-offs, and our hardware requirements guide explains what to look for in a server.

Buying guide

Which Project Zomboid host should you choose?

  • Small group with a growing world: Indifferent Broccoli, because RAM never caps out.
  • UK group that wants London: LOW.MS, from £7.48/mo ($9.95) with 10GB and lockable cloud backups.
  • Managed server with lots of Workshop mods: Host Havoc, with one-click collections.
  • Most RAM for the money: Kinetic Hosting, 12GB for under £10.
  • Big or heavily modded community: DatHost’s 16GB plan with unlimited slots.
  • Group split between B41 and B42: GTX Gaming, both branches at the same price.
  • First server, want help on hand: Apex Hosting’s 24/7 live chat.
  • Want to try before paying: Indifferent Broccoli’s 2-day free trial.

Final verdict

For most groups, Indifferent Broccoli is the best Project Zomboid server host in 2026, because uncapped RAM fits a game whose memory use keeps growing. UK groups who want London should pick LOW.MS, and admins who want a managed server with strong Workshop tools should pick Host Havoc. Once it is running, set your rules with our servertest.ini settings guide and SandboxVars.lua guide.

FAQ

Project Zomboid server hosting FAQ

What is the best Project Zomboid server hosting in 2026?

Indifferent Broccoli is our #1 because its plans cap players, not RAM, so a growing Build 42 world never hits a memory ceiling. LOW.MS is the best London option and Host Havoc is the best managed pick. See our Indifferent Broccoli Project Zomboid review for the details.

What is the best Project Zomboid server host in the UK?

LOW.MS is our pick for London, with 10GB of RAM on its entry plan and up to 20 lockable cloud backups. Host Havoc, Kinetic Hosting, DatHost, GTX Gaming and many of the other hosts in our table also offer London. Our LOW.MS Project Zomboid review covers its plans.

How much RAM does a Project Zomboid server need?

Plan on 8GB for 2–4 players on vanilla, 10–12GB for 5–10 players, and 12–16GB or more for a busy or modded server. Set the Java heap to use the memory, as our server RAM guide explains.

Is Project Zomboid Build 42 Stable?

Yes. 42.20 moved to Stable on 29 July 2026 and the current Stable build is 42.21, released on 28 September 2026. Build 41 is still available on the legacy41 branch.

Can I move a Build 41 save to Build 42?

No. Build 41 saves are not compatible with Build 42. Keep the B41 world on legacy41 and start a fresh B42 world, following our Build 42 migration guide.

Do Build 41 mods work on Build 42?

Not automatically. Build 42 uses versioned mods, so check each Workshop item has B42 files. Our Workshop mods guide shows how to add them.

What is the cheapest Project Zomboid server hosting?

LogicServers is the cheapest London entry at £4.05/mo ($5.39) a month for four slots, and Kinetic Hosting’s 8GB plan at £6.01/mo ($7.99) is the most RAM for the money among the low-cost plans. LOW.MS is the cheapest London plan with 10GB. Our cheap table above lists every host’s entry price.

How do I back up a Project Zomboid server?

Most hosts here include automatic backups. To do it yourself, copy the save, server config and database folders together, as our Project Zomboid backup guide explains.

How do I make myself admin on a Project Zomboid server?

Set the admin password on first start, then manage access levels and whitelists from the console. Our admin and whitelist guide and full admin commands list cover it.

Can I host a Project Zomboid server for free?

Yes, by running the dedicated server through SteamCMD on your own PC, but it only runs while your PC is on and you must forward UDP 16261 and 16262. Our dedicated server setup guide covers it.
