As an ArmA2:OA mod, you would likely be able to install it on our managed servers. The game's developers are not yet allowing us to offer it directly as an installed option.

I would recommend a 2-3 core for an ArmA2 server, since it is an intensive game that spreads across multiple cores.

We do not know, since it's not up to us.

How do i install it on a vds i check around nfo forums and i have check even around the dayZ forums and found no help on how to install the dayZ on a unmanage vds..

Are you are sure that a 3 core vds can handle DayZ with 30 slots + 2 hl2dm server that has around 12 slots on them?

Installing it on an unmanaged VDS would be the same as installing it on an unmanaged dedicated server. This is their standard way to install. I do not know the installation steps specifically and I don't have a copy of the server files or a connection to the DayZ team, as they haven't responded to our inquiries.

We have had other customers run DayZ successfully on a VDS, such as the client who posted here: http://www.nfoservers.com/forums/viewto ... f=3&t=7492

3 Core will handle DayZ fine, you need to get onto the DayZ admin IRC and ask for a whitelist/instance ID/Location ID and the files. I *could* pass the IRC info onto you since the DayZ devs have a habit of not responding to Emails.

Chernarus, how open are they to running the game on a regular shared server, and potentially letting a GSP offer it directly?

There are a couple GSP's running DayZ servers, they seem pretty open, even more so because you're trusted and therefor not going to abuse the system by querying the MySQL DB outside of Hive.

Basically the idea is you contact one of them over IRC and then get your IP's whitelisted, mass allocate location ID's and instance ID's.

Chernarus, could you email us the IRC information at support@nfoservers.com (or open a request with it)? We'd like to contact them and do what we can to get DayZ added as an offering.

Just to chime in here,

We've been running a VDS from NFOServers with DayZ on it since mid-may: http://dayzmod.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=3258

They also changed up their support a little bit John. They opened up a support site here: http://support.dayzmod.com/

And I don't know what IRC channel Chernarus gave you, but just in case, they do have a passworded one dedicated to DayZ server admins. I can pass that onto you if you don't have it already.

Sorry for the double (was going to edit my previous post)

I can also get you up to speed on everything you may need to know about DayZ server hosting. If you want to chat with me sometime, I'll be in #NFo-Support.

I will see if I can get ahold of them, so far I have sent several emails, contact form on their site and been in their passworded IRC channel.

A question for those playing dayZ, our young guy has arma 2, and wants to play dayz, does he have to install anything for his game, or is this just something that's required for the game server?
