Why TheCrewHost for Night Of The Dead?
What it takes to get through the nightly hordes smoothly and keep your Night of the Dead fortress safe.
Control via ServerSettings.ini
Settings such as ServerName, Password, MaxPlayers, IngameAdminPassword and SaveName sit in ServerSettings.ini, so one file controls the server's identity and which world it loads.
CPU Headroom for Nightly Hordes
Every night a large pack of zombies marches on your walls while traps and guns calculate damage, and the Ryzen 9 9950X's single-thread speed absorbs that sudden spike.
Persistent Fortress and Trap Line
Your walls, traps and automation setups are stored on the server, so nothing disappears when a teammate logs off and everyone returns to the same defensive line.
World Saves on NVMe
Save files are kept under Saved/SaveGames; Samsung 990 EVO Plus NVMe drives cut save hitches, and automatic backups protect that folder.
DDoS Protection for PvP Servers
The game supports online PvP too, and on competitive servers free DDoS protection filters attack traffic so nobody drops mid-horde.
Round-the-Clock Support
For config file, port or save issues, reach our team by ticket, Discord, WhatsApp, phone or live chat, and we will work through the problem with you.
Renting a Night of the Dead server at TheCrewHost costs $11.00 per month (₺440.00) on the Gold 8GB plan, and you get a dedicated server on a Ryzen 9 9950X with DDR5 memory and NVMe storage where your crew finds the same fortress every time they log in. Thanks to our İstanbul datacenter, players connecting from Türkiye and nearby regions can work their traps and weapons without lag once the nightly horde begins. The server name, password, player cap, admin password and world save all live in ServerSettings.ini, editable in a few minutes from the panel file manager. In a game that blends tower defense with survival, your fortress stays exactly where you left it.
Why rent a Night of the Dead server?
Night of the Dead, from Jackto Studios, is a zombie game that mixes exploration, crafting and survival with tower defense. The core loop is simple: gather resources during the day, reinforce your fortress, lay out traps and survive the horde that swarms you every night. It is far more fun as a team, with one player repairing walls while another extends the trap line.
A rented Night of the Dead server makes that fortress independent of any one player's PC. The world stays on the server even when the friend who usually hosts is offline, so whoever is free can log in and prepare, and when night falls everyone meets on the same defensive line.
Besides single player, the game supports online co-op and online PvP. On your own server you can build a relaxed co-op stronghold with friends or open a PvP server where rival groups face off. Either way, you decide the rules and who gets in.
How much RAM and CPU does Night of the Dead need?
We recommend 8 GB of RAM as the starting point, and a crew of two to four with a small or mid-sized fortress plays comfortably on Gold 8GB. What really drives load in this game is the nightly wave: once the horde starts, many zombies move at once, traps and weapons constantly calculate damage, and the server has to process all of it simultaneously.
As the fortress grows and the trap line gets longer, the number of objects the server tracks rises. Platinum 10GB suits groups of four to eight, while Diamond 12GB is the safer pick for groups of eight to twelve building large trap networks and automation setups. On crowded servers approaching 16 players, Emerald 16GB with 6 vCores handles the sudden load spikes of nightly waves with ease.
On the CPU side single-thread speed is what matters, because AI and damage calculations during a wave run mostly on a few threads, and the Ryzen 9 9950X keeps latency low there. For storage, the 70 GB and larger NVMe allocations are plenty for the server files and saves.
What do you configure in ServerSettings.ini?
The core settings of a Night of the Dead dedicated server live in ServerSettings.ini. ServerName is the name shown in the server list, Password the join password, MaxPlayers the player cap and IngameAdminPassword the in-game admin password. SaveName tells the server which world save to load; keep the same name and the fortress carries on, pick a new one and a fresh world begins.
The file also has a save interval setting that controls how often the world autosaves. Setting it too long means losing more progress after an unexpected shutdown, while setting it too short creates pointless disk writes.
Edit the file from the panel file manager or over SFTP. Stop the server before making changes, save the file and start it again, since edits made while it runs usually do not apply. The server uses separate game and query ports; on TheCrewHost the ports assigned to your server in the panel are what count, and you do not need to change them by hand. If you are not sure where a setting lives, just ask our support team.
Saves, backups and updates
Night of the Dead world saves are kept in the Saved/SaveGames directory of the server folder. Your fortress, traps and inventory all live in those files, which makes the save folder the most valuable part of the server. The automatic backups in TheCrewHost plans protect it regularly, and you can take a manual backup from the panel whenever you like.
We especially recommend a manual backup at three moments: before a game update, before switching to a new world with SaveName, and before a major rebuild of the fortress. If an update causes a save incompatibility or the new layout does not work out, restoring the backup brings everything back within minutes. Downloading backups to your own computer over SFTP gives you a second safety net.
When the game updates, the server has to move to the same version; with a version mismatch, players may see the server in the list and still fail to connect. After an update, check the console to confirm a clean startup, and reach out to support if anything looks off.
How do players join a Night of the Dead server?
Players reach the dedicated server list from the main menu by choosing START GAME, then MULTIPLAYER, then DEDICATED SERVER, and pick your server from there. The listed name comes from ServerName, so choose something distinctive your crew can find easily. With a Password in the settings file, players have to type it before they get in.
The server's IP and port are shown in the panel, and pinning them together with the password in your group's Discord makes things easier for new players. If the server does not appear in the list, first check the console to confirm startup finished, then make sure the query port is correct.
A small performance tip: gathering the whole crew at the fortress before a nightly wave cuts down on simultaneous activity in far-off parts of the map, which usually helps the wave run smoother. If your trap line has grown very large and waves start to stutter, moving up one plan is usually the quickest fix.
