How to Set Up a Dead Matter Server

Dead Matter is an open-world zombie-survival game set in a sprawling Canadian map. A dedicated server gives your group a persistent world to scavenge and survive in together. This step-by-step guide shows you how to set up a Dead Matter server in minutes — no manual install, no command line.

What you need

• A Dead Matter plan with around 6–12 GB of RAM — Dead Matter is a Heavy-class game.
• Support for server config files, included on every GGameHost Dead Matter plan.
• Your friends or community to play with (up to 32 slots).

Step 1 — Choose your plan

Pick a plan sized for your Dead Matter community. We recommend about 6–12 GB of RAM; start smaller and upgrade in one click as you add players or mods. Dead Matter plans start at $24.99/mo.

Step 2 — Deploy your server

Check out and your Dead Matter server provisions automatically in under 60 seconds, with console access right away — no manual install, no command line.

Step 3 — Connect & invite players

Once your Dead Matter server is online, share its address (IP and port) with your friends so they can join. Start, stop and restart it anytime from the control panel.

Step 4 — Install mods & configure

Your Dead Matter server supports Co-op, Config, Backups, FTP/SFTP. Install server config files straight from the one-click installer, or upload your own from the control panel — then tweak settings in the visual config editor.

Step 5 — Keep it running smoothly

Enable scheduled automatic backups, set restart timers, and monitor CPU, RAM and player counts from the dashboard. Always-on DDoS protection and 24/7 support keep your Dead Matter server stable.
