Frequently Asked Questions

Have questions about Project Zomboid server hosting? We've got answers.

Can I play Project Zomboid with friends on Instalobby?

Absolutely! Our Project Zomboid servers support multiplayer co-op. You can invite your friends to join your server using the IP we provide. The small VM comfortably supports 4-8 players, while larger VMs can handle more.

Does Instalobby support Project Zomboid mods?

Currently, our Project Zomboid servers support the base game through Steam Workshop. We're working on better mod support in future updates.

Can I set a password for my Project Zomboid server?

Yes! When creating your server, you can set an admin password. This gives you administrative access to the server console and allows you to manage the game.

What happens to my save files when I stop the server?

All your game data including save files, server configurations, and character data is automatically persisted to cloud storage. When you start your server again, everything will be exactly as you left it.

Can I run a 24/7 Project Zomboid server?

Yes, you can run your server 24/7 if you choose. With our pay-as-you-go pricing, you'll be charged for every minute the server is running. For 24/7 hosting, consider our larger VM sizes for better performance with many players.

Do you support dedicated servers or listen servers?

We provide dedicated servers for Project Zomboid. This means the server runs independently of any player's game client, providing better performance and allowing players to connect and disconnect without affecting the server.
