A DayZ server for your group.
Approve who joins
Use a whitelist for community membership. Prepare your approved-player list before enabling it in VXPanel, then confirm that a listed player can join.

Your server in VXPanel
Keep your DayZ server for your group.
A join password or whitelist lets you choose who plays on your server. VXPanel keeps player admission separate from administrator access, with your server name and game settings in the same place.
The server can still appear in the DayZ browser. Share only the join password with players; admin and RCON credentials belong with the people running the server.

Use caseWhat does A2S caching protect?
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
Private DayZ hosting questions.
How much does a private DayZ server cost?
Choose a city and billing term to review the managed DayZ plan. There is no added player-slot fee. Your order total, including applicable taxes and fees, is shown before payment. Player capacity depends on your map, mods and settings; resource allowances remain subject to fair use.
Does a private server give me the whole physical machine?
This offer is a managed DayZ game server. Private describes who you allow to join. A complete physical server is a separate bare-metal product. You manage the game through VXPanel here; VYKIX maintains the host operating system.
Can I host Xbox or PlayStation players?
This is DayZ PC hosting. It supports released official PC maps and compatible Steam Workshop community maps. Sakhal requires DayZ Frostline. Community maps depend on their files, dependencies, author terms and compatibility with the current DayZ build.
Can I run mods on my private DayZ server?
Yes. You have full game-file and configuration access in VXPanel. Check each mod's dependencies and game-version support, then test with the client mods your players will use before inviting the group.
Does a private server make DayZ PvE?
A password or whitelist limits who can join; it does not disable player damage. A PvE community needs rules and, where required, compatible mods to enforce them. Test those settings with your group before treating the server as PvE-only.
