You supply two things yourself

DayZ is only sold with a credential its publisher issues to a person, so you need to own the game yourself and provide it after checkout. We cannot create it for you and we never share one between customers. Your server is built immediately; the game installation waits until you paste it into the Setup tab, then runs itself.

Steam username - DayZ server files are not downloadable anonymously, so the installer signs in as you. Use an account that owns DayZ Server, ideally a separate one with Steam Guard set to email rather than the mobile app, or the download cannot complete unattended.
Steam password - Stored with the server and used only by SteamCMD to download the server files. We strongly suggest a dedicated account rather than your main one.
Steam Guard code - Leave this blank the first time. If Steam does not recognise this account on this machine, it emails a short code to the account's own inbox. Come back, paste it in here, and press Start Setup again quickly — the code expires.

What comes with every DayZ server

Configured before you see it

The install runs, the configuration is written and the server starts. No first-boot checklist, and nothing left on a default password shared with every other DayZ server on the internet.

The real console

Live output, command input and the server's own logs - not a filtered summary. Web-server noise is folded behind a counter you can switch off.

Files and SFTP

A full file manager with an editor, plus SFTP credentials. Upload mods, edit configs, pull a world down to your machine.

2-2 backup slots

Taken on demand or on a schedule, restored with a button. Deleting a server takes its backups with it, on purpose.

3 ports allocated

Add and remove ports yourself from the Network tab, including the query and RCON ports where the game wants them.

People on the same server

Invite friends or staff with granular permissions - console only, files only, no billing - through subusers, roles and teams.

Which DayZ plan do you need?

Memory is what decides whether a server holds together, so start there. The Standard tier gives 6 GB and 2 vCPU, which suits a private group. The Pro tier at 10 GB is where most public servers sit, and Premium at 12 GB exists for the servers that stay full.

Storage matters more than people expect once mods and backups are involved - plans here run from 35 GB to 85 GB of NVMe. Moving up or down a tier later does not rebuild your world; it changes the limits on the container you already have.

If you are not sure, take the middle tier. It is cheaper to move up after a busy weekend than to spend one explaining lag to your players.
