Frequently asked questions

How much RAM does a DayZ server need?
In the current tariff, 8 GB RAM is paired with up to 17 player slots and 12 GB RAM with up to 27 player slots. The configurator shows the exact limit for your selection.
Are Steam Workshop mods supported?
Yes, Steam Workshop mods are fully supported. Enter the mod IDs in the server config and the DayZ Launcher handles the rest for your players.
How many players can join the server?
In the current tariff, 8 GB RAM is paired with up to 17 player slots and 12 GB RAM with up to 27 player slots. The configurator shows the exact limit for your selection.
Is the world persistent — do bases and loot survive restarts?
Yes! DayZ is known for its persistent world. Bases, parked vehicles, and loot survive server restarts. The persistence rate is configurable in the dashboard.
How do I get started after ordering?
Typical initial setup: about 6 minutes. Queues or large installations can take longer. You receive control panel credentials where you configure mods, player count, server name, and all .cfg settings.
How do I manage my DayZ server with RCON and admin tools?
DayZ supports RCON via the BattlEye system. Connect an RCON client (e.g. DZSA or BattlEye RCON) using the RCON port and password from your dashboard. Via RCON you can kick and ban players, send messages to all players, and check server status — without needing to log into the game. Admins can also use privileged in-game commands by typing `#login PASSWORD` in the in-game chat.
Do I get my own subdomain?
Yes. Every server includes a subdomain like my-server.game-serverhosting.com, and you can change it anytime in the dashboard.
What are the free extras?
Every server can enable free add-ons such as Uptime Kuma, Sinusbot, Game Server Watcher, and more with one click in the dashboard.
How quickly is my server online?
Typical initial setup: about 6 minutes. Queues or large installations can take longer.
Is there a minimum contract term?
There is no long-term minimum. Billing is a monthly subscription and automatic renewal can be disabled. Longer terms may qualify for discounts.
Are the servers located in Germany?
Yes. All game servers run in German data centres (Falkenstein and Limburg) connected to the major German exchanges — low pings for players across Germany, Austria and Switzerland, and solid latency for the rest of Europe.
Which provider is best for my server?
The best provider is the one that shows you what you get before you pay: RAM, slots, location, price and cancellation terms. Here the price and resources are visible in the configurator before checkout, there is no minimum term and setup is automated — feel free to compare that with other offers.
Should I host the server myself or rent one?
Self-hosting costs power, time and a machine that runs around the clock; port forwarding, updates and backups are on you. A rented server is online within minutes, keeps running when your PC is off, and updates, DDoS protection and backups are included. For one or two friends on a single evening self-hosting is often fine — for a persistent world, renting pays off.
