DZServers.Host review
A configurable DayZ host for groups that want mod support and tiered server administration.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
DZServers.Host provides hosted DayZ servers for private groups, clans, roleplay communities, and public communities. The service runs DayZ servers on bare-metal Ryzen nodes with NVMe storage and DDR5 memory, and it is managed through a web control panel. Mod support includes Workshop Manager and mod file access, while server administration covers configuration, file access, automated restarts, live logs, resource monitoring, Battleye RCON, and sub-user permissions. Server capacity starts at 10 players and scales to 100 players, with datacenter locations across North America, Europe, and Asia Pacific.
Pricing is divided into three monthly plans. Starter DayZ Server costs $14.99 per month and includes Workshop Manager, full config and file access, NVMe storage with DDR5 memory, and OVH GAME Anti-DDoS protection. Community DayZ Server costs $29.99 per month and adds automated backups to the Starter feature set. Elite DayZ Server costs $49.99 per month and includes advanced server configuration, performance tuning assistance, and 24/7 high-priority support. The published plans make the tiers easy to distinguish: Starter suits groups seeking core hosting controls, Community adds backup coverage, and Elite is aimed at customers who want more configuration assistance and support priority.
The main choice is between broad control and backup coverage. Workshop management, configuration access, monitoring, RCON, permissions, and restart scheduling support communities that actively manage mods and server operations. Automated backups are specified for the Community plan, with backup retention stated as 30 days. Customers who need those backups should choose Community or higher rather than Starter. DZServers.Host fits groups that want configurable DayZ hosting across multiple regions and can select a paid tier. It is less suitable for anyone seeking a free plan or a basic service without administrative controls.
