Host a DayZ server for your friends
Free, on your PC, no port forwarding. DayZ is planned for our launch catalog. Join the waitlist and we'll tell you the moment it's live.
A decade of persistent-server culture and a mod scene that defines the game. Vanilla is manageable on 8 GB; the big modpacks want 16. We handle the server files, you handle staying alive.

License notes
Bohemia allows community servers under their published server rules; monetizing a server needs their separate approval program.
How hosting DayZ works
- 01
Install Multiplayer Rally
One Windows app. It installs and manages the DayZ dedicated server for you. No command line, no config files.
- 02
Pick DayZ
We set the ports, the settings, and the restart schedule. You pick the world name and who's allowed in.
- 03
Share your link
You get one address your friends paste into the game, and they're in. Nothing to install on their side, no port forwarding on yours.
DayZ hosting questions
Plan on 8 GB vanilla, 16 GB modded of free RAM for a friend-group server. Your PC needs that on top of whatever else it's running; the app checks before installing.
2302-2305 (game), 27016 (query) (UDP). With Multiplayer Rally you don't forward any of them: the agent makes an outbound connection to our relay, and your friends connect to the relay address.
Yes. Each player needs their own copy of DayZ to join your server. We host the server side; the game itself comes from the store like always.
DayZ is in our planned launch catalog. Join the waitlist, pick DayZ as your game, and we'll email you when it's live.
