DayZ server hosting with 10,000+ Steam Workshop mods, 60-player capacity, 15+ maps (Chernarus+, Livonia, Namalsk, Deer Isle, Banov, Sakhal, Esseker), visual serverDZ.cfg editor, Discord integration, automated restarts, and Ryzen 9 7950X CPUs that maintain stable tick rates during 40+ player firefights.
Our modified Pterodactyl panel gives you everything you need to manage a dedicated game server from any device.
Every server you run, on one screen. Live CPU, RAM, network, and player counts update in real time — no refresh, no terminal, no hunting through tabs. Start, stop, or restart any instance with a single click.
13 data centers across 5 continents. Pick the location closest to your players at checkout — switch anytime.
DayZ is Bohemia Interactive's 60-player open-world zombie survival game — the post-apocalyptic RPG that defined the survival genre and still anchors it. You spawn on the coast with nothing, and every loot run, vehicle repair, or base raid plays out across a multi-kilometer persistent map where other players are the real threat. The vanilla maps are Chernarus+ (free) and Livonia (paid DLC); community maps like Namalsk, Deer Isle, Banov, Sakhal, and Esseker are playable via Steam Workshop.
Dedicated DayZ servers are the norm for any serious community. The game's progression, PvP, and base persistence all assume an always-on world that survives restarts. Mods make it what it is — Expansion for traders and quests, SimpleBase for easier base-building, CodeLock for lock persistence, Trader for PvE economies. Our DayZ template ships with Steam Workshop integration wired up: paste a mod URL, the panel resolves the ID, installs on next restart.
DayZ is CPU-heavy — AI zombies, projectile physics, vehicle simulation, and player-built structures all tick server-side. Our Ryzen 9 7950X / 9950X nodes stay stable during large firefights where budget hosts hitch. RAM scales with player count and mods: 8 GB for 20-player vanilla, 12 GB for 40-player modded, 16+ GB for full 60-slot community servers running large mod stacks. No crossplay — PC, Xbox, and PlayStation versions each have separate server ecosystems.
DayZ supports all official and community maps from Steam Workshop. Chernarus+ is the default 225 km² post-Soviet landscape. Livonia is the 163 km² DLC map with dense forests and military installations. Community favorites include Namalsk (frozen island with extreme cold mechanics), Deer Isle (Pacific Northwest setting), Banov (Eastern European countryside), Sakhal (newest official map), and Esseker (compact urban-focused map).
One-click map switching from the panel automatically configures spawn points, loot tables, and mission files for each map. Popular maps come with pre-configured templates including trader locations for Expansion mod, optimized zombie spawn zones, and balanced loot economy. Over 100+ Workshop maps available with automatic downloads and updates.

Schedule automated server wipes: wipe player data only (keep bases), wipe persistence (reset bases/stashes), or full wipe (reset everything including economy). Set frequency (weekly, biweekly, monthly) with Discord webhook notifications to announce wipes to your community.
DayZ servers are CPU-heavy due to AI zombie pathfinding, projectile physics calculations, vehicle simulation (especially helicopters and boats), and player-built structure persistence. AI zombies react to player sounds, visibility, and smell—all calculated server-side. Large firefights with multiple players stress CPU performance significantly.
Our Ryzen 9 7950X and 9950X processors maintain stable tick rates during 40+ player firefights in major cities where budget CPUs start hitching. Single-thread CPU performance matters more than core count for DayZ's Enforce engine. High clock speeds and large L3 cache keep the simulation smooth during peak hours.
RAM requirements scale with player count, mod complexity, and map size. Vanilla 20-player servers run fine on 8GB. Medium 30-40 player servers with 10-20 mods need 12GB. Full 60-slot community servers running Expansion, Trader, weapon packs, vehicle mods, and map mods benefit from 16-24GB to prevent out-of-memory crashes during high activity periods.
Standard plan. Small friend servers, vanilla gameplay, Chernarus+.
Pro plan. Community servers with 10-20 mods, Expansion, custom maps.
Dedicated plan. Full 60-slot servers, Expansion + 50+ mods, large communities.
“Expansion mod setup took 5 minutes. Auto-resolved all dependencies. Never going back to manual installs.”
“60-player server with 100+ mods running smoothly. The Ryzen 9 CPUs handle large firefights perfectly.”
“Visual serverDZ.cfg editor is a lifesaver. No more hunting through config files to change loot rates.”
DayZ Expansion (full survival overhaul with traders, quests, vehicles, basebuilding) installs via Steam Workshop. In the panel's mod manager, paste the Expansion Workshop URL (steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2116157322), click Add Mod, and restart. Expansion requires core mod + DeerIsle/Livonia map mods depending on your map. The panel auto-resolves all dependencies.
Yes. The panel includes a visual serverDZ.cfg editor with controls for: server name, password, max players, difficulty (1st/3rd person, crosshair, nametags), time acceleration, night acceleration, loot respawn timers, zombie count, stamina, and more. Advanced users get full FTP/SFTP for manual .cfg editing.
60-player official cap. Practical limits: 20-30 players on Standard plans (8-12GB RAM), 40-50 on Pro plans (16GB), 50-60 on Dedicated plans (24-32GB) with heavy mod stacks like Expansion + Trader + SimpleBase + dozens of content mods.
No. PC (Steam), Xbox, and PlayStation run separate ecosystems with no crossplay. Our DayZ servers are PC-only. Console editions have different mod support and update schedules managed by Bohemia separately.
All official and community maps: Chernarus+ (default free), Livonia (DLC), Namalsk, Deer Isle, Banov, Sakhal, Esseker, Takistan, Chiemsee, Rostow, Iztek, and 100+ more from Workshop. One-click map switching from the panel with auto-configuration for spawn points and loot tables.
Trader mods require both the server-side mod and trader zone configuration files. For Expansion: install the Expansion mod, configure trader locations via .json files (provided templates for popular maps), set economy values, and restart. The panel includes Expansion config templates for Chernarus+, Livonia, Namalsk, and Deer Isle.
Yes. Schedule automated wipes via the panel: wipe player data only (keep bases), wipe persistence (reset bases/stashes), or full wipe (reset everything including economy). Set wipe frequency (weekly, biweekly, monthly) with Discord webhook notifications to your community.
8GB minimum for 20-player vanilla. 12GB for 30-40 players with 10-20 mods. 16GB for 40-50 players with Expansion + 50+ mods. 24-32GB for full 60-slot servers running Expansion, Trader, DayZ Expansion Vehicles, weapon packs, clothing packs, and map mods simultaneously.
