Your node stops taking servers at 60% load; the cap and the policy are published on Receipts. Hordes get the headroom.
Engineers who answer
Tickets go to the people who run the nodes.
Day 7 is the test. Pass it.
A blood-moon horde is dozens of zombies pathing, digging, and smashing blocks at once. The game does that work on a few CPU threads. Your server runs on AMD EPYC 4565P at 4.5 GHz, on a node we stop filling at 60% load. That is why tick rate holds on horde night, not just at noon.
Horde Hero carries 6 GB of RAM and Radiated Legend 8 GB. That holds Darkness Falls and a big random-gen map. Saves and chunks sit on NVMe, so a horde never waits on the disk. The clock and the cap are published on Receipts, with the benchmark run behind them.

Your rules, your files.
Upload mods with the file manager or SFTP, edit serverconfig.xml in the browser, and restart from the live console. Darkness Falls and other overhauls run on Horde Hero and up, with the memory to hold them. Change the seed, the difficulty, or the loot tables whenever your group votes for it.
Backups run on the schedule you set in the Game Panel, and restore from the same screen. Roll back to before the raid went wrong.

About running 7 Days to Die here.
Explore the knowledge base or open a ticket in the Console. An engineer answers.
Is "8 players" a cap?
No. It is the group size the Normal server stays smooth at. Invite more; if it starts to feel it, upgrade from the Console. You pay the prorated difference, it applies after a restart, and you keep the world.
Can I run mods and overhauls?
Yes. Full file access and an editable serverconfig.xml. Horde Hero and Radiated Legend carry the memory for Darkness Falls and similar overhauls.
How fast is it online?
Under 3 minutes from checkout. Your login and the server address arrive by email, and the console is live before you open it.
Can I change the map, seed, or difficulty later?
All of it, from the Game Panel or serverconfig.xml. Random-gen or Navezgane, day length, loot and spawn multipliers, blood-moon frequency.
What if I don't like it?
No contract, so cancel from the Console whenever you like. New servers carry the 30-day money-back guarantee. After that, a refund asked for within 72 hours of a charge is considered on a prorated basis. The refunds guide has the details.
Where does it run?
Seattle, on racks we own, built for Pacific Northwest latency. The network route is published, so you can check the hops yourself.
