About DayZ: The Post-Apocalyptic Survival Experience

DayZ is a post-apocalyptic survival sandbox game developed and published by Bohemia Interactive. Originally based on a mod for Arma 2, the standalone version of the game was released in early access in 2013 and officially launched in December 2018. Available on platforms like Windows, Xbox One, and PlayStation 4, DayZ thrusts players into a fictional post-Soviet state called Chernarus, where an unknown virus has turned most of the population into hostile infected. Players must scavenge for resources, craft weapons, and fend off other survivors in an unforgiving, open-world environment. The game supports multiplayer, offering tense, unpredictable interactions with other players as you try to survive.

Whether you decide to go solo or work with others, DayZ is known for its hardcore survival mechanics, atmospheric world, and intense player-driven narratives. With a large open map, dynamic weather, and no scripted outcomes, every playthrough offers a unique experience.

For more information, you can visit the Steam store page or the official website.

DayZ Server Hosting: Frequently Asked Questions

Answers about DayZ server rental, player capacity, Workshop mods, locations, PC compatibility, and setup.

How much does DayZ server hosting cost?

DayZ server hosting at GGServers starts at $18 per month with 6 GB RAM. Choose more RAM for mods, larger communities, or additional performance headroom.

How many players can join my DayZ server?

GGServers does not charge by player slot. You can configure the maximum player count in serverDZ.cfg, while practical capacity depends on your RAM plan, map, mods, settings, and player activity.

Can I install mods on my DayZ dedicated server?

Yes. GGPanel includes Steam Workshop tools for adding, updating, and managing DayZ Workshop items. Review each mod's dependencies and game version requirements before enabling it.

Where can I host my DayZ server?

Choose from the server locations available in the order form and compare the live ping shown beside each option. Select the location with the best latency for most of your players.

How quickly is my DayZ server set up?

Your DayZ server is deployed instantly after checkout. You can then configure it in GGPanel, and 24/7 live chat support is available if you need help.

Do GGServers DayZ servers support console players?

What is DayZ standalone server hosting?

DayZ standalone server hosting runs the standalone PC game rather than the original Arma 2 mod. Your rented server remains online for your community and gives you access to files, settings, mods, and backups.

A rented DayZ server stays online without leaving a home PC running or managing home port forwarding. GGServers also includes DDoS protection, backups, GGPanel access, and 24/7 live chat support.
