Knightfade 0 Posted November 1, 2018 So, I want to know is there any guide to putting the server on a VPS instead of running it off my desktop and port forwarding? I have the server fully running everything is working but I can't find anything on how to actually put it on a VPS like I have seen others do. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kichilron 8550 Posted November 2, 2018 It really depends on what you're trying to achieve. When you've already got everything working, the next step would be to rent yourself a Windows-VM / dedicated server from any of the vendors out there. When you have RDP-access, the setup process is the same as on your local machine. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I know how to work with that & know where to get the good servers from, however for Windows servers I'm not sure on where to get, I have been looking but I'm not 100% sure what I'm looking for where it comes to windows & where to get them Edited November 2, 2018 by Knightfade more info Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There is no one vendor I can recommend. But renting a windows server is no different than renting a linux server. If you do not have experience with Windows Server, I recommend actually renting a "normal" game server - that way you don't have to tinker with the server setup and have to keep the game updated. And if you would just rent a single Windows Server instance to host DayZ on that, it would not be cheaper than renting a standalone DayZ Server. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have actually found what you have said so, I would just get the server files that I have set up put them on to the remote desktop (Windows server) and start the server up on there?

Okay so I have the files on the VM and when I start the server it's just stuck at Dedicated host created? Do I need to install steam ect on there because I just downloaded the files for the server Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kichilron 8550 Posted November 3, 2018 Please refrain from opening new topics for the same issue. As far as I am aware, you are going to have to install Steam or SteamCMD to download the serverfiles properly. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
