American ExpressAbout the server
DayZ is a hardcore open-world survival game: you scavenge for food and gear across maps like Chernarus and Livonia, fight off the infected, build bases and decide in every encounter whether another survivor is a friend or a threat. On your own DayZ server, that world belongs to your group, with your rules, your restart rhythm and the mods you actually want to play with.
With a managed DayZ server hosting service, you set passwords, whitelists and admin rights, load workshop mods and tune loot, persistence and restarts directly in the browser. Your world stays online 24/7 without port forwarding or a home PC running all night, and you pick the location closest to your players.

FAQ
Answers to the most important questions before you start.
Managed DayZ server hosting gives your group its own private DayZ server that is set up for you: you control rules, access and mods, choose a location near your players, get DDoS protection included and are online in under 60 seconds. Every package has unlimited slots; price depends on package, term and location, not player count.
Every package includes unlimited slots, so the price depends on package, term and location, not on player count. A vanilla group needs less RAM, while modded worlds need more headroom. Current prices load live in the configurator, and you can choose 3, 30, 90, 180 or 365 days and cancel anytime, effective at term end.
Yes. Set a server password or whitelist so only your friends, clan or community can join, then give yourself admin rights to manage bans, restarts and settings. Your world, bases and stashes stay persistent between sessions. How to become admin on DayZ
Yes. You can add Steam Workshop mods to your DayZ server, from quality-of-life tweaks and trader systems to custom maps like Deer Isle. Keep the load order clean, create a Backup with the ZapX Pass before big mod updates and plan extra RAM for heavy mod stacks. Players load the same mods through the DayZ launcher.

Size by mod load, not player count, because slots are unlimited. A vanilla private group needs less RAM, a vanilla++ server with quality-of-life mods needs more RAM, and heavily modded worlds with traders, AI or custom maps need the most headroom. You can upgrade RAM and CPU later when load grows.
You choose from locations worldwide. Pick the one closest to most of your players, because distance is what drives ping. Many North American groups start with Ashburn, Dallas or Los Angeles, but the rule is the same everywhere: host near your core community.
These DayZ servers are PC servers for the Steam version of DayZ. PC players join through the in-game server browser, the DayZ launcher or direct connect. Private console servers run through a separate official program, so this package is meant for PC communities.
Hosting DayZ at home means keeping your PC running 24/7, forwarding UDP ports like 2302 and handling updates and attacks yourself. A rented DayZ server stays online around the clock with DDoS protection, automatic setup and Backups, so your group can keep playing even when your own PC is off.
