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

Build your community’s roleplay server.

Approved community members

VXPanel exposes whitelist controls for approved players. Test listed and unlisted joins before launch; your team handles applications, character rules and keeping membership current.

Your map and mods

Choose an official PC map or compatible Workshop map and mods. Check matching files, client requirements and author terms; Sakhal requires Frostline. Share a tested mod list with players.

Changes between sessions

Back up your world before map or mod changes, coordinate restarts and test before reopening. Keep admin credentials with trusted staff, separate from the password players use.

Your server in VXPanel

Keep membership separate from admin access.

Whitelist controls let you reserve your DayZ server for approved roleplayers. VXPanel separates player passwords, administrator passwords and the whitelist setting, so joining your community does not grant control of its server.

Your team manages applications, character approval and reports. Permissions in any admin mods need their own configuration; hosting does not provide roleplay moderation.

Protection network 17 Tbps Network-wide filtering capacity—not per 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 roleplay hosting questions.

Does roleplay require a different DayZ plan?

No separate RP tier is required. You use the managed DayZ PC product and configure your map, mods and membership rules. Choose a city and billing term below. Your order total, including applicable taxes and fees, is shown before payment.

Can I restrict the server to approved roleplayers?

Yes. Prepare a whitelist of approved players and enable it in the server configuration. Test access after saving and restarting. VXPanel exposes the setting; reviewing applications and keeping the approved-player list current remain your team's work.

Does whitelisting give a player admin permissions?

No. Whitelisting controls admission. Server administrator authentication and any permissions in your admin mods need separate configuration. Keep server, admin and RCON passwords distinct, and give each person only the access they need.

Can I run a custom RP mod list or community map?

You have full game-file access and Workshop installation controls. Check dependencies, client requirements, author terms and compatibility with the current DayZ server version. Test the selected map and mods together. This offer is for PC, not Xbox or PlayStation.

Can I move an existing roleplay world to VYKIX?

Keep a complete backup of the current world, mission and configuration, along with the mod list and startup settings. File and SFTP access support transfers. Ask VYKIX to confirm migration scope before changing your live server, and check that you can transfer any licensed or private mod files.
