Choose your starting point
Build privately, validate your mod stack, then move into a community plan with the memory and storage to keep growing.
A focused environment for server owners and small groups testing mods, loot, maps, and configuration changes.
A transparent allocation for a live DayZ world—without hiding memory or disk capacity behind fair-use wording.
*Unlimited slots means Chapter22 does not impose an artificial slot count. Real-world capacity still depends on DayZ limits, map, mods, configuration, script quality, and concurrent activity.
Server owners should be able to see the resources they are buying. Chapter22 publishes a concrete memory and storage allocation. VyKix’s supplied promotional card used “unlimited” and “fair use” wording; its current public DayZ card instead lists dedicated DDR5 + NVMe without publishing a quantity.

US-based hosting—all the time
Chapter22’s DayZ plans are intentionally US-based. That gives North American communities a predictable deployment region and keeps the buying decision simple.
