Hackers - Deterring Server Admins?

[Hoozio 13]

As somebody who has looked into buying a server to host a community driven DayZ server the only thing which has made me think twice is the ridiculous amount of hackers there are, and how they can, in essence, fuck up your entire server.

Is anybody else at the same point as me, I feel this is a massive issue that needs dealing with, I am aware it is BattleEye, but surely even they, with some pressure from Rocket of course can come up with something better than what they have now.

Based on the general sentiment of these forums lately, I'd say the answer is yes. Be prepared for a headache if you decide to buy a server.

And for God's sake, if you do decide to buy one, don't create yet another one of the thousands of existing threads whining about it.

Yea the other issue is finding the right server hosting company with good cust service Dayz is a pain to keep up. I kick the living crap out of people on my server due to the hackers
