The worry
A night restart will drop my squad mid horde night.
The answer
Schedule an announcement ahead of any restart or wipe. Players read the countdown in game and log off on their own terms.
A warning before every restart
Game server task scheduler. Schedule it once. It runs forever.
Pick an action, pick a time, flip the switch, and restarts, backups, announcements and wipes run on your server's own clock.
Included on every plan · 60-second setup · 24-hour money-back guarantee
- No cron syntax
- Restarts, backups, wipes
- Players warned first
- 24/7 human support
This is what happens while you sleep.
One Sunday on a 7 Days to Die server: five jobs fire on their own, and every one of them is a single row in Task Manager.
- Dawn: an automatic restart while the map is empty, so nobody is dropped mid raid.
- Then a rolling backup: a fresh copy of the world save, with yesterday's copy kept.
- Midday: the weekend event config loads, the template you saved in Config Manager.
- Evening: the wipe countdown goes to game chat, two hours before anything happens.
- Night: the weekly wipe runs after the warning, on a schedule everyone saw coming.
One config. Two ways to edit it.
Basic Settings gives you the everyday settings as fields. Config Manager gives you the whole config as text, saved as templates your server boots with.
- Fields for the quick changes: player count, difficulty, password, no file to open.
- Templates for the rest: edit the config as text, save it, set it as the boot default.
- Keep more than one: an event config, a test config, your usual one, and switch by schedule.
- The files stay yours in File Manager, in the browser or over FTP.
Automation is only as good as the net under it.
Four things people say out loud before they let a server run itself, and what the panel does about each one.
The worry
I schedule a wipe on Sunday and regret it by Monday.
The answer
Put a backup task in front of the risky one. The world save is copied before anything touches it, so it is still there on Monday.
A backup before the wipe runs
The worry
One mistyped value at midnight and the config stops loading.
The answer
Keep your working config saved as a template in Config Manager. If a change goes wrong, set the old template as the boot default and restart.
A saved config to fall back on
The worry
I will forget what I scheduled by next month.
The answer
View Tasks lists every job you created with its time and its ID. Open it there to change it, switch it off or build a new one from it.
Every task in one list
Four more things that run on their own.
Every plan, every game, nothing extra to pay.
Ping AI writes the schedule
Tell Ping in the panel to set up a daily restart and it creates the task for you.
See what Ping can doDaily, weekly or before an event
Set a job to repeat, or to run once ahead of a tournament or a community night.
Event weekend, then back to normal
Save your event settings once. Schedule the switch to them on Friday and back on Monday.
Nothing lands on the game
Jobs are timed outside your game process, so a full schedule costs the game nothing.
Rated 4.9 Excellent by admins who broke things first.
Six of 900+ Trustpilot reviews, from people whose config, restart or wipe went sideways, quoted as written.
Kimmy was absolutely amazing!! Very kind and professional. Also brilliant. 4 people spent 3 hours trying to fix a fubar config file before calling for help. In less then an hour she had it up and running and restored to its original glory. Thank you so much for your help and brilliance
I was having issues where my server "crashing" for a few consecutive days. I reached out to PingPlayers support, and after speaking with Kimmy, we realized that I had the -Auto Update- option enabled. So whenever I did a change in my servers files, it prompted the server to restart. Without Kimmy's brilliant, and kind help, I would've seriously thought that my server was broken. Thank you Kimmy!
Customer service team was extremely fast and effective with fixing server issue that could not be resolved on users end. What was supposed to be a server wipe was resolved without any data lost. Big thanks to the engineering team and Nicole!
Server customization is really easy with the built in ai model. Customer service is great! I had trouble with server startup files that i cannot edit and the team handled it fast and professionaly! Would recommend 5/5 service!
I had issues with game experience and Lautaro jumped right in and solved the problems. I had missed some settings and he was quick to correct them. Thank you, i can now enjoy more gametime.
Quick and helpful response that saved my game files.

Before you let it run itself.
Six things worth knowing before you hand the night shift to a schedule.
No. In Task Manager you pick the action and the time, daily, weekly or once, and save. No script, no cron line, no terminal.
Only if you schedule it that way. Add an announcement task ahead of the restart or the wipe and the countdown lands in game chat as early as you set it.
Yes. Config Manager holds your config as text templates, and File Manager opens every file on the server, in the browser or over FTP.
No. Jobs are timed outside your game process. The Resource Usage graphs in the panel show what the game itself is using.
Yes. Tell Ping in the panel to set up a daily or weekly restart and it creates the task. Ask for your active tasks and it lists them. AI Control covers the rest.
Put a backup task in front of anything risky and keep your last working config saved as a template. If something still surprises you, support is people who run game servers themselves, 24/7, in any language.
Stop babysitting
your server.
Set the schedule once and walk away. If a job ever surprises you, a real person is on live chat at that hour.
