Why Host DayZ with Gravel Host?

DayZ's persistence, loot economy, and mod stack punish cheap hosting fast. Our DayZ hosting is built for heavy Workshop mod loads and high-population wipes without tick drop.

Custom Game Panel

Run your DayZ dedicated server from one clean panel. Start, stop, restart, edit serverDZ.cfg, install mods and maps from Steam Workshop, manage whitelists, and view live logs - no command line or Steam CMD scripting required.

Instant Setup

Your DayZ dedicated server deploys in about 60 seconds of checkout. DayZ server binaries come pre-installed - pick Chernarus or Livonia, paste a Steam Workshop mod collection, tweak serverDZ.cfg, and invite your crew.

Mods & Custom Maps

Full Steam Workshop integration plus FTP access. Install Namalsk, Deer Isle, Chiemsee, Expansion mod, Dayz-Expansion, CF, VPPMap, custom types.xml - any community mod or custom map the DayZ scene ships, you can run.

DDoS Protection

DayZ servers attract attacks the moment they go public. Every Gravel Host DayZ server includes enterprise DDoS protection at no extra cost on every plan and region so zombies are the only thing killing your players.

3+ Years of Backups

We keep your DayZ server data - persistence, types.xml, events.xml, mod configs - for over three years. Daily automatic backups let you roll back after a mod update breaks persistence or a bad config wipes loot.

Low-Latency Locations

DayZ PvP is unforgiving, and ping decides gunfights. Pick from DayZ server locations across North America, Europe, Asia, and Australia to keep your community on the lowest latency possible.

YOUR OWN DAYZ DEDICATED SERVER - LIVE IN UNDER 2 MINUTES

DayZ's loot economy, persistence, and mod ecosystem turn a simple map into a living, breathing world - but only if the host can keep up. We run DayZ hosting on high-clock CPUs with NVMe storage so persistence reads stay fast, mods load cleanly, and tick rate holds steady even with a full server and a dozen Workshop mods running. Whether you're on vanilla Chernarus with friends or running a flagship modded Namalsk community, Gravel Host gives you cheap DayZ server hosting that doesn't cut corners on performance.

What is the best DayZ server hosting?
The best DayZ server hosting combines a fast single-core CPU, NVMe storage, Steam Workshop integration, and DDoS protection. Gravel Host offers DayZ hosting from $8.99/mo with instant setup, low-latency servers in four continents, and full mod and map support. The Squad plan is the most popular pick for modded community servers.
How do I host a DayZ server with mods?
Pick a plan, complete checkout, and your DayZ dedicated server deploys in about 60 seconds. Open the game panel, paste your Steam Workshop mod collection ID (Dayz-Expansion, CF, VPPMap, Namalsk, anything) and the panel downloads mods and restarts your DayZ server with them loaded. types.xml and events.xml are editable in-panel too.
How much does DayZ server hosting cost?
DayZ server hosting at Gravel Host starts at $8.99/mo for the Survivor plan (6 GB RAM). The most popular Squad plan is $11.99/mo with full modded Workshop collections. Quarterly and annual billing drops the price further, making it some of the cheapest DayZ hosting available.
Can I run custom maps like Namalsk, Deer Isle or Livonia?
Yes. Every Gravel Host DayZ plan supports custom maps and community terrains - Chernarus, Livonia, Namalsk, Deer Isle, Chiemsee, and any Workshop map. Swap maps from the game panel, your server restarts on the new terrain, and your mods reload automatically.
How many players can a DayZ server hold?
Player slots aren't hard-locked by the plan - they're fully configurable via serverDZ.cfg, so you set the cap that suits your community and hardware. You can upgrade RAM, slots, and NVMe at any time without wiping loot or persistence.
Does my DayZ server include DDoS protection, backups, and file access?
Yes. Every Gravel Host DayZ server includes enterprise DDoS protection at no extra cost on every plan and region, daily automatic backups retained for over three years, and full FTP plus file manager access for types.xml, events.xml, cfgspawnabletypes, mission files, mod configs - everything a serious DayZ admin needs.
