Hosting a DayZ Server
The following section covers the first-time setup we would suggest DayZ server owners follow to get started with their server!
Swapping to DayZ Experimental
When you purchase a Shockbyte DayZ server, you will have the option to either run a DayZ Experimental or DayZ Stable server. You can find steps on how to swap between them by following this guide.
Becoming an Admin
In order to carry out administrative actions on your server, you will need to add yourself as an admin. This allows you to have elevated permissions and gives you the ability to ban, kick, and moderate your server.
Making a Server Private
An important decision for hosting your server would be to decide whether you want to allow random players from the public to connect. If you prefer keeping your server private, you can easily accomplish that by adding a password to your server.
Joining your server
Once the first-time setup is complete, the final step for you would be to connect to your server!
Customising your DayZ Server
Once the initial setup has been completed for your server, as a server owner, you can start investigating ways of additional customisation for your server.
DayZ Server Settings
There are several configuration options available to configure for your DayZ server which allow you to be in complete control of your server. With Shockbyte, these are accessible in a single configuration file.
Changing your Active Map
If you would like to change the map on your server, you can quickly change your active map by following our guide.
