DayZ IPX server

Im getting a little closer to getting this setup. First off I need Robag to confirm these details. Can we fit the specs of this thread quoted thread below? If so I will roll ahead with the next step. Also if you can, please let me know the actual info of our gear so I can let them know what it is.

Want to host a DayZ Server? Read in here.
I’ve had a lot of requests in regards to getting a server up and what kind of requirements are needed to run a DayZ server. So I thought I’d put together a small guide as to how to go about it.

First of all, a DayZ server requires Remote Desktop Access and Windows (Unfortunately Linux isn’t supported as of yet). This rules out server providers such as Gameservers which only provide you with a Web Interface and FTP.

Second, your server needs to be able to handle Terra-bytes of bandwidth monthly. Some servers are chewing through 2TB of bandwidth a month. So be mindful of that.

Thirdly, the specifications. Below is a rough list of requirements to have a comfortable 50 player server.

  • Quad Core CPU @ 3Ghz+ (CPU is the main enforcer in a ArmA server, so the more powerful the better)
  • 2GB+ Ram (Ram isn’t a big issue in an ArmA server, so don’t be overly concerned with having copious amounts [16GB+] of it as it won’t be required)
  • 50GB+ HDD (Preferably SATA3 or SSD) (ArmA 2 CO and the DayZ Mod take up approx. 20GB)
  • Bandwidth at least 2TB a month. (As stated earlier, at least 2TB is required)

Finally, if you think you have what it takes, then we’re more than happy to get your server running as soon as possible.
First point of call is to email; dayzdevteam@gmail.com – If you haven’t received a response from that email after a day or so, then feel free to PM me on these forums and I’ll try and get to you.

I’ll be unable to provide the best ‘Server Providers’ to approach to get a good server, I leave that up to you. Just look through different providers, compare prices and specifications and ensure they match what a DayZ server requires.

If you have any questions, then please post in this thread.
