VxShield

DDoS protection for your DayZ server.

Included Global Anycast A2S Cache

Protect your DayZ server from query floods.

The VxShield Anycast cache replies to supported A2S_INFO server-browser checks. A cache hit keeps that request out of your DayZ process, including during an A2S flood.

For steadier server-browser responses, VxShield replies to supported A2S_INFO checks using status cached at the Anycast edge. Requests served from that cache stay out of your DayZ process, including Layer 7 A2S floods targeting Steam query handling.

Before you order

DayZ hosting in Europe questions

Where in Europe is my DayZ server hosted?

The managed DayZ order form offers Amsterdam, Netherlands. For other locations, compare Game VPS and bare metal, where you are responsible for managing server software.

Can I use this for a UK DayZ community?

Yes. UK DayZ PC communities can choose Amsterdam, Netherlands. Test the location with your group before deciding because routing differs between players' networks.

Is this DayZ server hosting in Germany?

The European managed DayZ server is in Amsterdam. For hosting inside Germany, consider the separate Frankfurt VPS or dedicated-server products if you can maintain the OS and game software.

Can I run modded DayZ in Amsterdam?

Yes. Workshop controls and full file access let you use compatible PC maps and mods. Check author requirements, dependencies and compatibility with the current DayZ release. Sakhal players must own DayZ Frostline.

How much does European DayZ hosting cost?

Choose Amsterdam with your preferred billing term to view the plan. There is no added player-slot fee, and resource allowances remain subject to fair use. Your order total, including applicable taxes and fees, is shown before payment.

How do I compare Amsterdam with Chicago before choosing?

Test both cities near your community's usual session time, using the same DayZ build and mods. Keep each endpoint's confirmed city, route report and join results together. Routing differs between players' ISPs, so include the networks your regular players use. A website ping or server-browser response alone does not measure your gameplay connection.
