DayZ VPS questions
Check supported games, maintenance responsibilities and resource sizing.
Is DayZ already installed on the VPS?
You manage Game VPS yourself, including installation and configuration of the DayZ PC server, mods and admin tools, plus OS maintenance. The VXPanel game-management workflow is included with the separate managed DayZ service.
Which VPS plan should I choose for DayZ?
Test your map, mods and expected player activity, accounting for the OS and other services. Budget resources for saves, updates and backups. Share the results with VYKIX for help selecting an allocation.
Can I run a DayZ server on Linux?
Yes. Bohemia supports Windows servers and publishes a Linux server guide. Verify that your mods and admin tools support your chosen OS, then confirm the VPS OS option before you order. Run DayZ with a separate service account.
Is a DayZ VPS a dedicated physical server?
Game VPS is a virtual machine with allocated vCPU, RAM and NVMe. To rent an entire physical server, choose VYKIX bare metal. On either, you manage the OS; managed DayZ instead provides game controls through VXPanel.
How much does DayZ VPS hosting cost?
Your price depends on the Game VPS plan selected in the Frankfurt or Chicago store. Compare each listing's resources and billing options. Your order total, including applicable taxes and fees, is shown before payment.
