Project Zomboid Server Hosting
Persistent worlds that stay alive when you log off. Deep sandbox settings, Steam Workshop mods, and Bob diagnosing why your generator attracted every zombie on the block.
Built for Project Zomboid Players.
Every server runs the same enterprise stack. No upsells, no paywalls — the features below are included on every plan.
Hosted in US-East - Low Ping for North American Players
Your Project Zomboid server runs on premium AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D hardware in Vint Hill, Virginia - US-East. For players on the East Coast, Mid-Atlantic, and Southeast, that means typical pings under 30ms. Players in the Midwest and Texas typically see 40-70ms.
Where Your Server Lives
MANAfuel operates one game-server region: Vint Hill, Virginia - US-East. Every supported game server runs in that real region, on the same hardware class, with the same network path. If you are on the Pacific Coast, typical ping is closer to 70-90ms. From Western Europe, typical ping is closer to 100-140ms.

About Project Zomboid
Server Hosting.
This Is How You Survived.
Project Zomboid is the game that punishes bad decisions and rewards preparation. Your server should work the same way. The world keeps running when your group logs off. Crops grow. Power shuts off on schedule. Zombie migration shifts.
Every MANAfuel PZ server runs on premium AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D hardware. Large map chunks, heavy zombie populations, and modded crafting systems run without server-side stutter.
Your Apocalypse, Your Rules
Project Zomboid's sandbox settings are the deepest in the survival genre. Zombie population multiplier, loot respawn cadence, infection mortality, water and power shutoff day, erosion speed. Every setting is exposed in the dashboard. Want a brutal hardcore server where one bite kills? Done. Want a relaxed base-building sandbox? Done. Bob configures it from plain English.
Mods That Transform the Game
The PZ Workshop library runs deep. Hydrocraft adds thousands of crafting recipes. Brita's Weapon Pack rewrites the armory. Expanded Helicopter Events keeps endgame unpredictable. Tell Bob what you want and he installs compatible mods, resolves load-order conflicts, and updates when PZ patches break compatibility.
Persistent Worlds That Stay Alive
Your server does not hibernate. The world ticks forward 24/7. Zombie hordes migrate, crops mature, structures decay, and the power grid fails on schedule. When your group logs back in, the world moved on without them.
Bob monitors the persistent world and catches issues before they compound. Memory leaks from long-running sessions, mod conflicts after Workshop updates, save corruption from unexpected shutdowns. Bob diagnoses and recovers.
