If you do not already have a server, you can order 7 Days to Die server hosting before following this guide.

You can join your 7 Days to Die server by using the IP and port shown in Connection Info on the control panel. You can either add the server to Steam favourites first, or search for it from the in-game Join a Game screen.

Find Your Server Address

  1. Open your 7 Days to Die server in the control panel.
  2. Copy the full Connection Info address, including the port. In this example, the address is 45.92.36.171:26900.

If the server does not appear, make sure it is online, confirm you copied the full IP and port, and refresh the server list. The port is required; using only the IP address may not find the server.
