DayZ Server Hosting on a VPS — from €5.49/mo
Your own DayZ Standalone server, vanilla or modded — gather your friends and play by your rules today
Launch a server now
A DayZ VPS is a virtual server with root access where you run your own DayZ Standalone server: pure vanilla or a modded build. The map constantly reads from disk and stays in memory, so a server for 40–60 players needs 12–16 GB RAM — that is Standard 5 at €13.99/mo or Power 1 at €17.99/mo. A small server for a group of friends starts with Standard 1 — 4 vCPU, 4 GB RAM, 50 GB NVMe at €5.49/mo. Steam Workshop mods, custom loot, weather and spawn rates are all yours to configure, with no hosting restrictions. A 5-hour test period before payment lets you check how your build holds the load. Other survival games live in the game VPS section; the full line-up is on the VPS hosting page.

Handles the map and loot
Fast cores and NVMe cope with the large Chernarus and Livonia maps and their extensive loot without lag.
Mods from the Workshop
Root access and KVM: add Steam Workshop mods, custom loot, weather and survival rules.
Your own server rules
Configure spawn rates, time of day, PvP/PvE and whitelists — the server is fully under your control.
How to launch a DayZ server
Pick a plan and an image
Size the plan for your slot count and mod build, then choose a Linux image in the control panel.
Install the OS yourself
You install the operating system from the image — the panel deploys it on the server in a couple of minutes.
Set up the server and mods
Over KVM or SSH, install SteamCMD, the DayZ server and Workshop mods, set the config and rules — the server is ready.
Full control over your survival server
You get root access and a KVM console: assemble your own mod build, tune loot, weather and zombie spawn rates to your team's play style.
Update the server after patches via SteamCMD, add new mods and connect your own domain — no hosting restrictions. Similar projects: the Rust server VPS and the Conan Exiles VPS.

Yes. Root access and KVM let you add any Steam Workshop mods, custom loot, weather and survival rules without restrictions.
The server files take about 20 GB, plus mods and growing logs with the character database. For a modded build, start from 120 GB NVMe — that is Standard 5 at €13.99/mo.
Of course. You decide whether to install mods: run a clean vanilla server or add a build — the configuration is entirely on your side.
A server for 40–60 players needs 12–16 GB RAM and a fast disk: Standard 5 (€13.99) or Power 1 (€17.99) fit. The Chernarus map reads from disk constantly, so NVMe makes a real difference.
The server side runs on both Linux and Windows. Windows is handier if you prefer graphical admin tools — you pick the image at install time.
No, it is not part of the plan. DDoS protection is added separately, sized for your server — send us a request and we will suggest a solution.
You create backups yourself in the control panel in a couple of clicks — automatic backups are not included. The folder with the character database and buildings is also worth copying via cron inside the server.
Yes, you choose the map yourself: Chernarus, Livonia or custom terrains. Everything is set in the server config over SSH.
