This DayZ server hosting guide links every FREAKHOSTING help page for DayZ. You run your server from the Game Panel at [games.freakhosting.com](https://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**. | Item | Detail | | - | - | | Game | DayZ dedicated server (stable branch) | | Maps | Chernarus, Livonia, Sakhal, or a modded map | | Address format | `203.0.113.10:2302` | | Panel pages | **Game settings** under **GAME SETTINGS**, **Startup**, **Files** | | Mods | `modlist.html` from the DayZ Launcher, plus server-side mods | ![DayZ Game settings page in the FREAKHOSTING Game Panel with the Server group and presets](https://mintcdn.com/freakhostingltd/4h1IkXVQmzT6o2no/images/games/dayz/dayz-game-settings.png?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=4h1IkXVQmzT6o2no\&q=85\&s=626c9982cd6cf4943d42776a6862119f) DayZ Game settings in the Game Panel ## Most asked The DayZ server topics people search for most, with the page that answers each one: 1.

Set the server name and admin password in **Game settings**, pick a map, save and start. Players join from the DayZ Launcher. See [getting started](https://help.freakhosting.com/games/dayz/getting-started-with-your-dayz-server.md). ### How do I add mods to my DayZ server? Export `modlist.html` from the DayZ Launcher and upload it to the main folder, then check the keys. See [install mods](https://help.freakhosting.com/games/dayz/how-to-install-mods-on-dayz-standalone.md). ### Where is serverDZ.cfg? In the main folder. Edit it on the **Game settings** page or with **serverDZ.cfg: open the raw file**. ### Which settings are not on the Game settings page? Stamina (`cfggameplay.json`), loot (`types.xml`), traders and loading screens. Each has its own page above. ## Related guides > [card] [Getting started](https://help.freakhosting.com/games/dayz/getting-started-with-your-dayz-server.md) > > First setup and joining. > [card] [Install mods](https://help.freakhosting.com/games/dayz/how-to-install-mods-on-dayz-standalone.md) > > Mod list and keys. > [card] [DayZ server settings explained](https://help.freakhosting.com/games/dayz/dayz-server-settings-explained.md) > > Every Game settings option. > [card] [Log in to the Game Panel](https://help.freakhosting.com/portals/game-panel/how-to-login-and-access-the-game-panel.md) > > Access your server. *** > [!NOTE] > > **Tested by the FREAKHOSTING team** on 30 October 2026 (DayZ stable branch on our Game Panel).
