Set up your own DayZ Mod server on a Windows VPS with DDoS protection and locations in Europe & America.
American ExpressArma 2: DayZ Mod on your own 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.

Features
The hardware, access and tools to run DayZ Mod, Epoch or Overpoch on a server that belongs to you.
Zombies, loot and vehicles stay responsive on busy nights, because your VPS runs on powerful server CPUs with NVMe storage.
You can start building your server right away: the VPS is provisioned automatically as soon as your payment goes through.
Your survivors keep their gear and bases: move an existing hive database, mission files and server config onto your VPS.
Your group decides what to play: vanilla DayZ Mod, Epoch, Overpoch or Origins, on Chernarus or a community map, all on one VPS.
Cheaters have a harder time when admin access lets you control the BattlEye filters, the whitelist and your admin tools directly.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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
