Your server, your setup

Choose what your server runs.

Maps and mods

Run Chernarus, Livonia, Sakhal or a compatible Workshop map, with your choice of traders, vehicles and admin tools. Check publisher requirements; Sakhal requires DayZ Frostline.

Full file access

Edit mission files, loot and mod settings in VXPanel or SFTP. Bring your existing setup or start with a base server and test mods as you add them.

Updates and backups

Review updates, dependencies and load order in VXPanel. Paid hosting includes three same-server backup slots; keep another copy outside the server before changing your setup.

Your server in VXPanel

Run the mod list your players want.

You get Workshop installs, load-order controls and full game-file access in VXPanel. Choose the client or server scope for each mod and manage the setup your community plays.

Required dependencies still apply, including Community Framework where the author specifies it. Check the full mod list together; a Workshop listing does not establish compatibility.

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.

Modded DayZ hosting questions.

How much does modded DayZ server hosting cost?

Choose a city and billing term to review the DayZ plan in the portal. Hosting with mods uses the same managed DayZ product. Your order total, including applicable taxes and fees, is shown before payment.

Can I install any DayZ Workshop mod?

VXPanel provides Workshop installs and full game-file access. A mod still needs the correct dependencies, server/client scope and support for the current DayZ build. Check its author's instructions and terms. Some combinations need configuration and a test join before they are ready for your players.

How many players can a modded server run?

There is no added player-slot fee, but player slots are not a performance guarantee. Your map, scripts, AI, stored objects and concurrent players determine the workload. The paid plan runs on an overclocked i9-14900K; memory and storage allowances are subject to fair use. Test your intended setup before choosing a player limit.

Can I move my existing modded DayZ server?

You have file and SFTP access for your mission, configuration and mod files. Back up the current server and keep a copy of its startup parameters and dependency list. Ask VYKIX to confirm migration scope before the move; access to files and permission to transfer any licensed content are required.

Can my modded DayZ server be private?

Yes. Use a join password or an approved-player whitelist in VXPanel. Players still need the required client mods. This offer is for DayZ PC; it does not host Xbox or PlayStation players.
