Trial terms and setup guides

Your server, your setup

Choose your Deer Isle setup.

Stable or experimental

The author recommends the stable release for public servers. Experimental builds contain unfinished changes; choose the release before preparing your mission and inviting players.

Matching mission files

Use the author's mission, economy and loot positions for your installed release. An older mission on a newer map can leave changed locations without loot.

Dependencies and client mods

Deer Isle lists CF as a Workshop dependency. Check requirements for the rest of your mods and test joining with the client content your players will use.

Your server in VXPanel

Your Deer Isle world, under your control.

Manage Deer Isle's mission and game files in VXPanel, with access to the settings that shape your server. The author's empty.deerisle mission must match the installed map release.

Keep your current world's files before a map change or economy update. A new release can require changes or a wipe; check the author's instructions against your saved copy.

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

Deer Isle DayZ hosting questions.

How much does Deer Isle server hosting cost?

Choose a city and billing term for the managed DayZ plan. Your order total, including applicable taxes and fees, is shown before payment. The order buys hosting; you install and configure your chosen map and mission after the service is ready.

Do I need both the Workshop map and mission files?

Yes. Use the author's Deer Isle Workshop release, its required items and the corresponding server mission files. The terrain download and mission serve different roles. Match the mission and map versions, then test the spawn and loot setup before opening the server.

Can I repack Deer Isle into my server's mod?

The author's licence restricts editing the map's PBO content, repacking and reuploading. Keep the author's map package intact and use the permitted server and mission configuration. Read the current licence before making or distributing changes.

Can I move my Chernarus community to Deer Isle?

You can configure the managed server for a compatible community map. Back up the existing mission, persistence and mod data first. A different map needs its own mission and economy; this is not a promise that Chernarus characters, bases or vehicles transfer unchanged.

Is there a fixed player limit for Deer Isle?

Set a limit after testing the map, mods and activity you intend to host. Added AI, custom objects and player gatherings can change the workload. There is no added player-slot fee, but the plan's resource allowances are subject to fair use and do not guarantee a universal player count. This is PC hosting.
