Hosting a Server

[icor1031 1]

Is it possible for me to host a server myself, and be connected to the global database?

Regardless of whether I can use the global DB or not, how do I go about setting up my own server?

Thanks!

You have 2 Options - Having your own Hardware or get it from a Hoster Company for an Amount of $ or € per Month.

You should look for Hosters in your Country for a better Ping since i dont know where oyur from i cant suggest any.

May Provide some informations an i could Help further

i got a Forum link for you that explains all you want to know i think :

Is there any way for me to do this, and have a password on my server?

Unless you have a business class internet where you have no limits on bandwidth, because for a 50 person server(which I think is the minimum now) will use about 2TB/month. I dont know about you, but with comcast, I only have 500gb a month to use.

*edit* UNLESS you just want to run a private hive server(you wont be connected to your normal dayz character, or anyone else on the server) and password it and you and your friends can run around and kill zombies I guess..

THIS will work just fine.. I preferred public hive and private server, HOWEVER, private hive is good enough!

My friend(s) and I would be happy just running around killing zombies.

What's the process in setting up this server? I'm not a noob, I've ran many servers before - but I need to know what software to use, and any specifics to dayz, etc.

Thanks.

I would like to know how this is done too, although I wouldnt get the thrill of hearing footsteps around me again at least I know I'm not going to drop dead any time a hacker wipes out the server.

Any help would be appreciated.

THIS JUST happened to me. I had obtained AS50, M240, coyote backpack, etc.

Then my bro and I died from cheater.
