OVERVIEW

DayZ Server Hosting

Fast, DDoS-protected DayZ dedicated servers with Workshop mod support, serverDZ.cfg and types.xml control, and slot tiers built for Chernarus communities up to 127 players.

Steam Workshop Mods & -mod= Params

DayZ modding runs through the Steam Workshop: base building expansions, vehicle packs, gear overhauls, and map tweaks all mount via -mod= launch params. Subscribe from the panel, set load order, and match client mods so every survivor joins with the same files. Collections work when your server needs a full content pack on launch day.

One-Click DayZ Dedicated Server

Your DayZ server boots at checkout. No SteamCMD, no port forwarding, and no hand-editing serverDZ.cfg before your first spawn on the coast. Pick slots, choose Chernarus or Livonia, and share the address with your faction.

serverDZ.cfg & types.xml

serverDZ.cfg controls persistence, time acceleration, weather, and world rules. types.xml defines the loot economy: what spawns where, in what quantity, and how fast items respawn across the map. Tune both from the panel when you want a hardcore survival experience or a boosted community server with curated loot tables.

Factions & High-Pop Survival

DayZ communities scale by player count, from 20-slot groups to 127-player public servers with rival factions, shared bases, and helicopter events. Mods and pop drive RAM load together. We run high-clock Ryzen with NVMe so a packed server stays playable when stashes, vehicles, and base items fill the map.

Move Your Persistence Save

Already running a community on another host? Upload your persistence files through the panel and keep your bases, stashes, and vehicle spawns. Your faction's progress on Chernarus or Livonia carries over.

High-Performance Hosting

Every DayZ server runs on AMD Ryzen with NVMe storage. Enterprise DDoS protection and automatic backups are included on every plan, so your survival community stays online through wipes, mod updates, and the attacks that hit public faction servers.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

DayZ questions

How do I install mods on a DayZ server?

Subscribe to Steam Workshop mods from the panel, set load order, and match the -mod= launch params so clients join with the same content. Collections work for servers that need a full mod pack.

What admin commands and tools can I use on a DayZ server?

Use the live console and in-game admin tools to manage players, spawn items, and tune the world. Our admin commands guide covers the full list for server operators.

Can I change loot, weather, and difficulty settings?

Yes. Edit serverDZ.cfg for time, weather, and difficulty, and tune types.xml for loot economy changes. Both files are editable from the panel.

How many players can a DayZ server host?

Plans scale from 20-slot communities to 127 on the top tier. Real capacity depends on mods and how busy your map gets, so addon-heavy servers want higher slot tiers even at the same pop.
