Fresh spawn on the coast. Your friends are already on their way.

In our tests DayZ 1.29 used about 5 GB before anyone joined, and Expansion with its required mods about 5.8 GB. Squad (8 GB): up to 10 players, vanilla or a few light mods. Party (12 GB): up to 30 players, or Expansion. Clan (16 GB): up to 60 players with a heavy mod list. Every mod adds memory, so pick the next size up if your list is long.

Search the Workshop by name from your panel, or paste a mod’s link, a collection or a DayZ Launcher preset. The panel adds the mods it needs too, in the right order, and the server downloads them with their keys every time it starts. Every mod is its author’s work on the Steam Workshop, and each links to its page.

The panel shows which mods have an update on the Workshop. One click warns your players in game and restarts five minutes later with the new version, or waits until nobody is on, so nobody is locked out by a version mismatch.

Your server restarts by itself: once it has run 6 hours, as soon as nobody is on, and after 12 hours at the latest with a 10-minute warning in game. You can add your own times too, or restarts only when nobody is on, with warnings up to 30 minutes before. A minute before, the server closes to new players and kicks everyone, so nothing is duplicated in the last save; then it keeps a copy of the world and starts again with any mod updates.

A small server-side mod of ours writes where each player is every five seconds, and the panel draws them on an aerial image of the map we captured in the game, with its towns and grid squares. Players install nothing, and only you see it.

Yes: who killed whom, with what and from how far, and a ranking of kills, deaths and longest shot, read from the server’s own admin log. No bot or paid tool needed.

Yes. Wipe the whole map, or only the characters and keep bases and loot. The old world is set aside until your next wipe, in case you change your mind.

DayZ 1.30 and Badlands are due on 15 October 2026. Servers update when they restart, and Nasdara appears in your map list once Bohemia’s server files include its mission. Players need whatever Bohemia requires for the map, as with Sakhal and Frostline. Each map keeps its own world, so you can try it and switch back.

No. A DayZ server you rent is for PC players on Steam; console players play on official servers or console servers rented from Nitrado.

Yes, for free: open a support ticket with a .zip of your mission folder (with its storage_1 world and players.db) and your server profile, or your old host’s login details, which we delete as soon as the move is done. We install the same mods, put the world in place and tell you when it is ready.

Yes, for free. Every server has three backup slots. Take one before a wipe or a new mod, or schedule one every night. Restore, download or lock any backup in one click.
