Dedicated Server Template
How long can you survive a post-apocalyptic world? A land overrun with an infected "zombie" population, where you compete with other survivors for limited resources. Will you team up with strangers and stay strong together? Or play as a lone wolf to avoid betrayal? This is DayZ - this is your story.
Deploy and manage your own DayZ dedicated server with GameCP's free game server control panel. This template provides a production-ready server configuration with one-click installation, automatic updates via SteamCMD, and full environment variable management. Whether you're hosting for a small group of friends or running a large community server, GameCP makes DayZ server administration simple and reliable.
