Arma 2: DayZ Mod on your own VPS

What is an Arma 2: DayZ Mod VPS?

Your Chernarus, your rules: an Arma 2: DayZ Mod VPS is your own KVM virtual server with full administrator access. The DayZ Mod, Epoch or Overpoch server and its hive database run on it, on powerful server CPUs with DDoS protection.

You set up the DayZ Mod server yourself on your own VPS with full administrator access. Every file, the MySQL hive and your BattlEye filters stay in your hands.

DayZ Mod and Epoch communities still run their own servers in 2026. On your own VPS, your map, loot tables and whitelist don't depend on anyone else's infrastructure.

What is an Arma 2: DayZ Mod VPS?

Features

What your DayZ Mod VPS brings to Chernarus

The hardware, access and tools to run DayZ Mod, Epoch or Overpoch on a server that belongs to you.

Powerful CPUs for Arma 2

Zombies, loot and vehicles stay responsive on busy nights, because your VPS runs on powerful server CPUs with NVMe storage.

Your VPS online right after ordering

You can start building your server right away: the VPS is provisioned automatically as soon as your payment goes through.

Bring your existing hive

Your survivors keep their gear and bases: move an existing hive database, mission files and server config onto your VPS.

Any DayZ Mod variant, any map

Your group decides what to play: vanilla DayZ Mod, Epoch, Overpoch or Origins, on Chernarus or a community map, all on one VPS.

BattlEye filters and admin tools

Cheaters have a harder time when admin access lets you control the BattlEye filters, the whitelist and your admin tools directly.

Daily Backups of your server

A bad update won't cost you the map: a daily automatic system Backup covers server files and the hive. Restores come with ZapX Pass.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions about Arma 2: DayZ Mod

Answers to the most important questions before you start.

It's your own KVM virtual server with full administrator access. You don't get a locked game panel; you get the whole machine. The DayZ Mod, Epoch or Overpoch server, the hive database, the BattlEye filters and your admin tools all run under your control. Classic Arma 2 mod setups need that freedom, so we offer the mod on a VPS instead of as a managed product.

  • Full administrator access via RDP or console
  • Windows Server, or your own ISO
  • Hive database on the same machine

You pay for a VPS package, not per player slot. The package cards on this page show live shop prices for every VPS plan, and US locations include a regional price adjustment. Choose a term from 3 days to 1 year, or buy once with Lifetime and ZapX Pass.

  • Resource-based packages, no slot pricing
  • Terms from 3 days to 1 year
  • Upgrades to larger packages possible

Your VPS is provisioned automatically right after you order. Then you set up the Arma 2: DayZ Mod server yourself with full administrator access. A guide in the Help Center helps you with setup.

  • Automatic provisioning after payment
  • Set up your own server
  • Full administrator access from the start

It depends on the variant, the map and how many players you have. A small private group on vanilla Chernarus does well on an entry-level package. Busy Epoch or Overpoch servers with many vehicles and bases, plus the hive database on the same VPS, need more RAM and CPU. Start with what your community needs today and upgrade when the server statistics show you need more.

  • Arma 2 servers lean on single-core speed
  • Epoch and Overpoch need more RAM than vanilla
  • The hive database adds its own load

Yes. With administrator access the VPS isn't tied to one build. You can run vanilla DayZ Mod, Epoch, Overpoch or Origins, on Chernarus or another community map, and switch when your group wants something new. The MySQL or MariaDB hive can run on the same VPS, which keeps the server and database close together. Set up MySQL on a Windows server

  • DayZ Mod, Epoch, Overpoch, Origins
  • Chernarus and community maps
  • MySQL or MariaDB hive on the same VPS

You can choose from our locations in Europe and America, so pick the one closest to your players. Many North American groups start with Ashburn, Dallas or Los Angeles, and FFM/Eygelshoven is our main site in Europe. Every VPS includes DDoS protection that filters attacks aimed at your Arma 2 server.

  • Locations in Europe and America to choose from
  • DDoS protection included
  • Pick the site closest to your players

Yes. Besides terms of 3, 30, 90 or 180 days or 1 year, the VPS is also available as Lifetime: buy the VPS once instead of renting it and run your DayZ Mod server on it – one ZapX Pass per account covers all your Lifetime servers. Lifetime requires an active ZapX Pass.

  • Terms from 3 days to 1 year
  • Lifetime: buy once
  • Lifetime requires ZapX Pass

Yes. You connect as Administrator via Remote Desktop (RDP) or the browser console, and you manage every file yourself. A daily automatic system Backup is included. Restoring it and creating manual Backups, for example before an Epoch update, require ZapX Pass. How Backups work in the Help Center

  • Administrator via RDP or browser console
  • Daily automatic system Backup
  • Restore and manual Backups with ZapX Pass

Which ports does my DayZ Mod server need open?
I can check which UDP ports your Arma 2 server is configured for, show you which of them your VPS firewall allows right now and suggest a rule for you to confirm.
Please prepare that rule.
Here is the proposed rule for those UDP ports. Confirm it in the chat and it will be added to your VPS firewall.
