DayZ PvE hosting

You can build a DayZ PC server for cooperative play with the included mod and file controls. Ordering the plan does not disable PvP: your chosen mods and settings must enforce damage rules, with in-game checks before inviting the group.

Card required. No charge or automatic paid plan. Trial hardware can differ from paid hardware.

Trial terms and setup guides

Trial terms: Card verification is required. No payment is taken, and the trial does not automatically become a paid plan. Trial hardware can differ from paid hardware. After 48 hours, the trial is suspended; active trial data is deleted seven calendar days later.

Build & protection details

The 72-hour test checks each physical build before handover. Trial hardware and resources differ from paid plans.

Your server, your setup

Set the rules for cooperative survival.

Player and base damage

Use compatible mods for player attacks, vehicle damage and base raids, then test with a second player. A server password controls entry; it does not disable PvP.

Safe zones and PvP areas

Choose trader safe zones, whole-map PvE or PvP event areas through compatible mods. Test zone boundaries; Expansion's DamageSystemSettings controls explosion damage to configured items, not a global PvP switch.

AI and survival settings

Add AI, loot and survival changes around working damage rules. Test busy areas: extra patrols and persistent objects change the workload even without more player slots.

Your server in VXPanel

Shape the world your group survives in.

Manage the mission and mod configuration behind your PvE server through VXPanel or SFTP. You can edit the files that define damage rules and safe zones, then keep copies before changes.

PvE behavior depends on the mods you install and configure. Test damage and zone boundaries in game; access to a file editor does not establish that your rules are enforced.

Overclocked hardware for your DayZ server.

Your paid plan includes an i9-14900K OC, DDR5 memory and NVMe storage. Choose Chicago or Amsterdam to host closer to your players. Use the DayZ server requirements checklist to plan your map and mod load.

DDoS protection for your DayZ server.

VxShield filters DayZ traffic across its Global Anycast edge, then forwards accepted player traffic to your server.

Included Global Anycast A2S Cache

Protect your DayZ server from query floods.

VxShield answers supported A2S_INFO server-browser checks from its Anycast cache. Cache hits bypass your DayZ process, including requests in an A2S flood.

VxShield serves supported A2S_INFO checks from cached status at the Anycast edge for steadier server-browser responses. Cache hits also keep Layer 7 A2S floods designed to exhaust Steam query handling away from your DayZ process.

Before you order

DayZ PvE hosting questions.

Is there a separate price for DayZ PvE hosting?

Your PvE setup uses the standard managed DayZ PC product. You choose and configure the mods; this is not a prebuilt PvE package. Your order total, including applicable taxes and fees, is shown before payment.

Will ordering this server turn off PvP?

No. Configure a compatible mod for the damage rules you want, then test them with another player. A password or whitelist controls who can connect. It does not stop admitted players from damaging one another.

Can I keep PvP areas on a PvE server?

Choose a compatible zone mod that supports that arrangement. Follow the instructions for its installed version and test both sides of the boundary, including an attack from one zone into another. Do not assume a trader safe zone sets the rules for the rest of the map.

Can Xbox or PlayStation players join?

This offer hosts DayZ PC. It does not provide Xbox or PlayStation hosting. Choose a released official PC map or a compatible Workshop community map. Players need DayZ Frostline for Sakhal, and community maps can have extra dependencies and author terms.

Can I test my PvE setup before paying for a plan?

The DayZ trial lasts 48 hours and requires a valid card for fraud verification. There is no trial charge or automatic paid subscription. Use it to check your mods and player joins. Trial hardware can differ from paid hardware, so it does not establish the paid server's capacity. Export needed files before expiry; continuing requires a separate paid order.
