Sizing
Which plan fits your DayZ server?
Our estimate of the memory a DayZ server uses, and the smallest plan that covers it. Heavy modpacks can need double.
Most DayZ community servers run 40–60 players, with some high-pop servers going further. Plus handles most servers; big modded maps with 80+ players want Max.
| Players | Vanilla | Lightly modded |
|---|---|---|
| 20 | ≈ 7.0 GB · Plus | ≈ 10.5 GB · Pro |
| 40 | ≈ 8.0 GB · Plus | ≈ 12.0 GB · Pro |
| 60 | ≈ 9.0 GB · Pro | ≈ 13.5 GB · Max |
| 100 | ≈ 11.0 GB · Pro | ≈ 16.5 GB · VDS |

|---|---|---|
| 2302 | UDP | Game port |
| 2303–2305 | UDP | Additional game ports |
