Sakhal DayZ hosting

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.

Your server, your setup

Choose how your group survives Sakhal.

DayZ and Frostline

Players need DayZ and the Frostline expansion on PC to join Sakhal. Renting a server does not supply their game or expansion licences.

Vanilla or modded survival

Warmth and food shape Sakhal's survival challenge. Keep the base experience or add compatible mods, then test how those changes affect play before inviting your group.

Sakhal mission and economy

Bohemia provides the dayzOffline.sakhal mission. Use files that match your server release, and keep a backup before changing the mission or loot configuration.

Your server in VXPanel

Host Sakhal with your own settings.

Your hosting includes mission and game-file controls for Sakhal. Choose who can join, manage your loot setup and add compatible mods through VXPanel. Players need DayZ and Frostline on PC.

A move from another terrain needs its own Sakhal mission and data. Bases and loot from the previous map do not carry across; preserve that world and test your changes before switching.

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

Sakhal DayZ hosting questions.

Does Sakhal need a separate hosting package?

VYKIX supports Sakhal through its managed DayZ PC plan. Choose a city and billing term for the hosting order. Your order total, including applicable taxes and fees, is shown before payment. Player game and Frostline licences are separate from hosting.

Do all players need Frostline to join?

Yes. Sakhal is part of DayZ Frostline, which requires the base DayZ game. Each player needs access to both on PC. Hosting, a trial server or another player's expansion ownership does not replace those requirements.

Can I try Sakhal during the free hosting trial?

You can use the DayZ trial to test your chosen official PC map and setup. Players still need Frostline for Sakhal. The trial lasts 48 hours, requires a valid card and carries no charge or automatic paid subscription. Trial hardware can differ from paid hardware. Export needed files before expiry; active data is deleted seven calendar days after suspension.

Can I add mods or make Sakhal private?

VXPanel provides Workshop and file controls for compatible mods, plus join-password and whitelist settings. Follow the mod author's dependencies and test with the client files your players use. A private server still requires players to own Frostline.

What hardware and player capacity do I get?

The paid DayZ plan names an overclocked i9-14900K. Memory and storage are subject to fair use. Test your mission, mods and player activity before setting a capacity target. This offer serves PC players; Xbox and PlayStation hosting are outside its scope.
