A few questions regarding owning a server.

[commandercaleb 1]

Hi everyone, a few weeks ago I was hooked on DayZ and currently the server I am playing on is getting very inactive, as well as I can't find any cars or helicopters.

I am now looking into renting a server from HFB servers, but a few questions that I am confused about after reading the sticky post:

Once I buy my server, will I have to register it by sending a email to the DayZ team? Or is my server ready for DayZ once I buy the server?

I really just want around a 32 player server for DayZ, but I heard I must be 40+, is that true?

Those two questions are the only questions for now, I may add some more in a moment.

40 person minimum

Slot server ready to go at start up. They get your instance ID for you.

Not sure how they do dedicated boxes if that's what you're after.

Thanks for the help, I am still looking for a host, who do you use or do you know a good one?

You have to E-mail or contact the Devs to get on the whitelist. We at Adrenaline Gaming use Nfoservers.com

Don't waste your time/money. Running your "own" server does not benefit you in any way. "Supporting" the mod will not even get you a pat on the back, let let give you a slot in your own server (just people bitching about admin abuse). Find someone else's and play on that. Yes I used to run my own server. No it wasn't blacklisted nor was I on the receiving end of abuse accusations. I just got sick of seeing endless, ungrateful posts from players and devs alike toward people that put in their OWN money to provide a place for others to play for free. Once/if the community moves out of the police state it currently exists in, I'll host again.
