Can I install DayZ Expansion and Trader mods?

Yes! We support all Steam Workshop mods including DayZ Expansion, Trader, BaseBuildingPlus, and custom maps like Namalsk. Subscribe to mods on Steam Workshop and add their IDs to your server configuration.

How many players can join my DayZ server?

DayZ supports up to 60 players on official maps, up to 100+ on some custom maps. Performance depends on mod count and RAM - our 16GB+ plans handle high-population servers best.

Can I use custom maps like Namalsk or DeerIsle?

Yes! We support all custom maps from Steam Workshop. Simply add the map mod ID to your server configuration and set the mission name in serverDZ.cfg. Popular maps include Namalsk, DeerIsle, and Esseker.

How do I fix lag on my DayZ server?

Optimize by reducing view distance in server config, limiting vehicle spawns, scheduling automatic restarts every 4-6 hours, and removing unused mods. Our AMD Ryzen 9 CPUs provide the single-thread performance DayZ needs.

Can I transfer my existing DayZ server?

Yes! Upload your mpmissions folder, profiles, and storage files via SFTP. Keep your mission name the same and ensure mod load order matches. Player bases and loot will transfer over.

How long does it take to set up a DayZ server?

A vanilla DayZ server is ready in 5-10 minutes. Modded servers take longer depending on mod download sizes - allow 10-20 minutes for heavily modded setups with DayZ Expansion.

Do I need to port forward or configure firewalls?

No! We handle all networking automatically. Your server gets a dedicated IP and ports are pre-configured. Players just need your IP:port to connect through the DayZ server browser or launcher.
