AUTOMATIC BACKUPS

Protect your server data with our automatic backup system. In a permadeath game like DayZ, server stability is critical. Your base structures, loot economies, and all world data are regularly saved to prevent any loss from crashes, corruption, or griefing.

Restoring a backup is simple - select your desired backup from the control panel and click restore. Whether you need to roll back after a server issue or recover from unexpected problems, your DayZ world is always protected. Set up custom backup schedules to match your server's needs and ensure your community's progress is never lost.

DDOS PROTECTION

Keep your DayZ server safe from attacks and unauthorised access. We've implemented enterprise-grade security measures to protect your server and player data, ensuring uninterrupted survival gameplay for your community.

Our infrastructure includes advanced DDoS protection on all plans, capable of mitigating high-volume attacks without affecting server performance. Your survivors can focus on staying alive in Chernarus instead of worrying about server security or downtime from malicious attacks.

FULL FILE ACCESS & SERVER CUSTOMISATION

Take complete control of your DayZ server with full SFTP access and comprehensive file management. Customise every aspect of your survival experience: adjust loot spawn rates, modify zombie behaviour and difficulty, configure player damage, set up whitelists, install mods, and fine-tune server rules to create your perfect post-apocalyptic world.

Our control panel makes it easy to edit configuration files, manage server settings, and customise gameplay without technical knowledge. Whether you're setting up a hardcore permadeath server, roleplay community, or PvE cooperative experience, our 24/7 support team is always available to help optimise your DayZ hosting.

CUSTOM SUBDOMAINS

Every server gets a free yourname.wabbanode.com address, so nobody has to remember an IP and port. Change it whenever you like from the panel.

SERVER SPLITTING

Divide one plan into several smaller servers. Run a lobby and a survival world, or two different games, off the RAM you already pay for.

GAME SWITCHING

Swap your server to any game we host from the panel. Your plan stays the same, so a Minecraft server can become a Rust server next month without buying another.

AUTOMATIC CRASH DETECTION

If your server goes down, it comes straight back. A watchdog spots the crash, restarts the server and logs what happened.

What is DayZ?

DayZ is a hardcore multiplayer survival horror game set in the post-apocalyptic nation of Chernarus, where a mysterious plague has turned most of the population into violent infected zombies. Originally created as a mod for Arma 2 by Dean Hall and later developed into a standalone game by Bohemia Interactive, DayZ is renowned for its brutal permadeath system, unforgiving realistic survival mechanics, and intense player interactions that create genuine psychological horror and tension.

Running your own DayZ dedicated server gives you complete control over your survival experience and community. Customise difficulty settings, adjust zombie behaviour and spawn rates, modify loot tables, implement whitelist systems, and create custom server rules to build your ideal post-apocalyptic world. With full server access and powerful hardware, you can host persistent worlds for roleplay communities, hardcore PvP servers, or cooperative PvE experiences where your group fights to survive against the infected horde.

Best DayZ server hosting

Surviving Chernarus is hard enough without fighting your host. Running a DayZ dedicated server gives you a persistent, always-on world where you set the rules, so you can host a DayZ server with friends, build a hardcore permadeath community, or run a curated roleplay shard. DayZ server hosting with Wabbanode puts loot tables, zombie spawns, and whitelists in your hands from minute one.

Dayz Poster

What your DayZ server needs

For DayZ we suggest 4 GB for up to 8 players, 8 GB for up to 24 players and 12 GB for up to 40 players, the same sizes the plan picker above recommends. DayZ leans heavily on single-thread CPU speed, so high-clock cores matter more than core count for keeping tick rates smooth. Budget a few GB of NVMe storage for the base game and expect DayZ server RAM needs to climb once you add mods, custom maps, or a heavily populated Chernarus or Livonia map with lots of persistence.

Modded, PvP, or pure PvE

Full SFTP access means you can drop in Steam Workshop mods, tune the loot economy, adjust stamina and damage, and stand up whitelist-gated roleplay or hardcore PvP. That's the answer to how to host a DayZ server exactly the way your community wants it.

The Wabbanode edge

Every plan runs on AMD Ryzen 9 CPUs with NVMe storage, always-on DDoS protection, free automatic backups, and instant setup, plus a 24/7 support team for when Chernarus gets rough.
