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.

You can host DayZ for PC with Chernarus, Livonia, Sakhal or a compatible community map from Steam Workshop. Sakhal players must own DayZ Frostline. Before installing a community map, read the author's requirements and dependencies and confirm it supports the DayZ version you run. Console hosting is not included.
Managed DayZ PC server rental starts from €39.99/mo excl. VAT with monthly billing and no added player-slot fee. Chicago and Amsterdam are available. You control the game files and configuration; VYKIX looks after the hardware and host operating system. Choosing quarterly or semi-annual billing means paying the full term upfront. Your order total, including applicable taxes and fees, is shown before payment.
Start with the renewal total for your intended map, mods and player count, then account for backups, DDoS protection, VAT and setup fees. You may pay less for a small slot-based plan. VYKIX bills per server, includes VxShield and adds no player-slot fee. Fair-use terms apply to resource allowances.
Yes. Your hosted server includes upstream DayZ traffic filtering through VxShield without a DDoS add-on fee. VYKIX maintains its protection profile. For a community facing attacks at another host, share the incident times and symptoms so we can assess them before planning a move.
Check DayZ trial availability in the portal. We do not offer permanent free hosting. When available, the free trial lasts 48 hours and requires a card for fraud verification. There is no trial charge, and it does not become a paid subscription. Hardware on the trial can differ from the paid plan. After 48 hours we suspend the trial, then delete its active data seven calendar days after suspension. Export any files you need before expiry. Continued hosting requires a separate paid order.
DayZ Architect+ customers can use VXPanel and CFTools Architect. Our VXPanel walkthroughs show its controls. VXPanel gives you access to serverDZ.cfg, mission data and other game files, plus Workshop mod installation and load-order controls. Read the mod author's dependency and client-file instructions before installation. Test the complete mod set against your server's DayZ version.
Unlimited player slots are included under fair-use terms without an added per-slot fee. The player limit you can run depends on the map, mods and server activity. Pick an initial limit using the workload guide and measure busy sessions before increasing it.
You get three same-server backup slots with paid DayZ hosting. Take a recovery copy before setup changes and keep a current copy outside VYKIX. Because the included backups and live world use the same physical server, a server or storage failure can affect both.
Yes. Free migration help and seven days free are available to eligible switchers. Tell us your current host, data size, mod list, peak player count and preferred date. We check the files, confirm the scope of the move and agree on timing before starting.
Lag can involve the map, scripts, active players or network connections. Run a busy-session test of your intended setup and examine server logs alongside resource measurements. VxShield filters the attack traffic it supports. You still need to investigate mod behaviour and player connections as separate causes.
This offer provides a managed DayZ game server and full game-file access through VXPanel. VYKIX handles the host OS. Game VPS is the option for root access; bare metal reserves the entire physical machine for you.
