BisectHosting's 7 Days to Die servers are a great way to allow large groups of friends to play together in a persistent world. Since the server can be run independently of a 'host' user, servers can be active anytime. This makes it much simpler for groups that play at different hours and much more accessible for public servers. Remember that while the server can remain active without users, days will still pass as normal. This can make new zombie types spawn and can even result in the destruction of player's bases.
