Project Zomboid Server Manager
Set up and manage your self-hosted Project Zomboid dedicated server on Windows with an intuitive UI for mods, configuration, and live console control, so you can handle Project Zomboid server hosting on your own hardware instead of relying only on rented game hosting.
Interactive, Powerful Server Management
A clean, modern experience with smart automation and visuals that show exactly how HaruHost GSM runs your Project Zomboid server.
Custom mod install UI
HaruHost provides a shared Project Zomboid mod manager between servers so you can install Steam Workshop content with a focused, game-aware UI instead of editing text files.
- ✓ Search Steam Workshop items by name and add them in a few clicks
- ✓ Automatically pulls all associated modIds for a selected Workshop item
- ✓ Reorder, add, or remove mod IDs and Workshop item IDs directly in the UI
Custom server settings UI
The Auto Config UI replaces raw servertest.ini editing with grouped controls for the settings Project Zomboid server owners actually tweak day to day.
- ✓ Set core identity and access in one place, including server name, description, passwords, whitelist behavior, and welcome message
- ✓ Tune gameplay and safety with toggles for PVP, per-player safety, safehouses, sleep, and loot respawn rules
- ✓ Control communication, moderation, and anti-cheat via global chat, positional voice chat, ping limits, and fast-movement checks
- ✓ Adjust server performance and stability with JVM memory sliders, ZGC, extra JVM/game arguments, and login queue controls
Interactive server console
The interactive console keeps your Project Zomboid server output and commands in one place so you can see what is happening and react immediately.
- ✓ Stream live game server logs in a dedicated console view
- ✓ Send commands directly to the server without leaving HaruHost
- ✓ See command results and responses inline in the log stream
Server logs
Get a clear, per-server view of what your Project Zomboid instance is doing, with live logs that make troubleshooting and moderation easier.

Windows firewall helper

UPNP port forwarding
If your router supports UPNP, HaruHost can set up port mappings so friends can reach your Project Zomboid server without manual router configuration.

- ✓ Simple toggles so you can enable or disable mappings as needed
