Hosting a DeadPoly server
DeadPoly is a low-poly zombie survival looter shooter from TFL Games, in Steam Early Access since January 2022. You scavenge, craft, level up, take on quests and fortify buildings or build your own base, and the only real goal is to stay alive.
The game supports single player, co-op with friends and server-based online multiplayer, with cross-platform play listed on Steam. A rented server keeps your world and bases online when the original host is not playing.
What to compare
- Save backups. Bases take hours to build, so automatic backups and simple restores are worth paying for.
- Updates during Early Access. The game still changes, and the server version has to match players' clients, so prompt updates matter.
- Memory and CPU. Compare plan resources against your expected player count and the size of the bases your group builds.
- Location. Pick a datacentre close to most of your players to keep ping low.
