DayZ Server Hosting Guide: Every DayZ Help Page

This DayZ server hosting guide links every FREAKHOSTING help page for DayZ. You run your server from the Game Panel at games.freakhosting.com. The Game settings page edits serverDZ.cfg for you: server name, passwords, map (Chernarus, Livonia or Sakhal), time, view and voice rules, signatures and mods. Mission files such as cfggameplay.json and types.xml are edited in Files.
