Unturned friend-server hosting — a private zombie map for a small group
You want a persistent Unturned world your mates can join any time: 2–12 survivors, a password, and bases that survive the host logging off. This page is not the same as the Unturned overview or Unturned modded. It covers the small-group, mostly-vanilla setup.
The job: private, small, always on
- Players: 2–12 friends. Vanilla Unturned is light; a small RAM tier is usually enough.
- Workshop maps & plugins: big maps and RocketMod/OpenMod stacks need more headroom. See the modded page.
- Persistence: back up the server folder before game updates.

Oceania notes
Unturned gunfights feel latency quickly, and the server’s region still sets everyone’s delay. Check for a Sydney node before paying. See the Oceania ping guide.
Price honesty
We only list prices the host prints clearly. Nothing here is invented. For cheaper all-round options, see budget under ~$20.
