Rent a DayZ Server (PC)

Launch your own DayZ server and survive the zombie apocalypse with friends. Persistent world, full Steam Workshop mod support, and data-center DDoS protection — from €11.66/month. You play with the regular DayZ client on the stable version. Want to try new content early? Pick the Experimental branch when you order — you then join with the free "DayZ Experimental" client, which every DayZ owner installs straight from their Steam library. You can also switch between Stable and Experimental later in the server panel — this empties the server directory completely and your world starts fresh.

Frequently asked questions

How much RAM does a DayZ server need?
In the current tariff, 6 GB RAM is paired with up to 16 player slots and 18 GB RAM with up to 64 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, 6 GB RAM is paired with up to 16 player slots and 18 GB RAM with up to 64 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 4 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.
Are there DayZ servers for PS4, PS5 or Xbox?
No: with us DayZ runs exclusively as a PC server (Steam, Windows). Private console servers for PlayStation and Xbox are only available through Bohemia Interactive's official console partner (as of September 2026); console and PC players cannot play on the same server. Our server is the dedicated PC version with Workshop mod support.
Do I get my own subdomain?
Yes. Every server includes a subdomain like my-server.gs.game-serverhosting.com, and you can change it anytime in the dashboard.
What are the free extras?
For every server you enable Uptime Kuma (server monitoring) and Game Server Watcher (server status in Discord/Telegram) with one click in the dashboard at no extra cost, plus one bot such as Sinusbot (music bot for Discord/TeamSpeak). Every additional bot costs extra.
How quickly is my server online?
Typical initial setup: about 4 minutes. Queues or large installations can take longer. Setup creates the subdomain and DNS records automatically, and for Minecraft also accepts the EULA and installs Geyser.
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?
You choose the location at checkout: Germany (Falkenstein and Limburg) or France (Roubaix) — all in the EU, connected to the major European exchanges. Low pings for players across Germany, Austria and Switzerland at both locations, 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. DayZ starts here at 11.66 EUR per month, and setup typically takes about 4 minutes.
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 and backups are included; data-center DDoS protection is included at every location. For one or two friends on a single evening self-hosting is often fine — for a persistent world, renting pays off.
Can I increase or decrease the RAM later?
Yes, you can do it yourself in the customer area using a slider. An upgrade takes effect immediately: you only pay the prorated difference for the remaining term, and the new price applies from the next renewal. A downgrade takes effect on the next renewal date. Your world, settings and subdomain are kept, and depending on the game, a restart is required afterwards. With monthly payment and a minimum term, the change is only possible once that term has ended, and for games with a slot-based plan it is not available.
