VYKIX DayZ Server Hosting Review! :)

[|-|]

I ditched NITRADO and GTXGaming for VYKIX https://www.vykix.com/ and wow, it’s a total game-changer! If you’re into DayZ, these guys are where it’s at for hosting. My server runs super smooth with crazy high FPS, unlimited slots, loads of RAM, and an i9-14900KS 6.0GHz CPU. And here’s the kicker—it’s costing me 80% less than what I was shelling out at NITRADO and GTXGaming. Like, what?!

Honestly, VYKIX deserves to be the official DayZ partner, not NITRADO. Even big servers are using them. Total hidden gem!

Their support is dog water. Literally will not help anything you have issues with or give you an easy way out response. If their machines are up, they do not care. Hope you don't have issues with server being offline. You can expect a ticket to be answered in about 12 hours or so. Just enough time for dedicated players to find another server to play on.

I haven't had this experience. All their hardware runs on i9-14900KS, which neither GTX nor Nitrado offer. Plus, it costs 90% less, and the biggest DayZ servers use Vykix if you're familiar with them not GTX or Nitrado... Their support was quick too, usually responding within 1-2 hours, though they're off on weekends, which makes sense to me. Vykix is my new go-to for DayZ server hosting... Big servers use them, and now I do too...

VYKIX is a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ company.

All Niko does is lie over and over again.

They use second hand consumer parts, most of the time it's entry grade trash that fails within a few months.

Hosted a server with him that went through 2 PSU's and had over 2 weeks of downtime that Niko claimed he would charge for but then did. When I disputed the charge he turned off my other servers.

Completely trash company that inflates their reviews online with feedback from players, not even server owners.

Niko is banned from the DayZ server owners discord for a reason.

Hi,

Does this look like second-hand consumer hardware? Feel free to verify for yourself:

Our hardware is brand new, fully recorded, and proven not second-hand or low-grade as you falsely claim.

VYKIX is now the leading provider in DayZ hosting, trusted by major communities such as Rearmed, Kryptic, Sunnyvale, Titan, KarmaKrew, and many others. The facts speak for themselves.

It's evident that you’ve made multiple attempts to leave 1-star reviews across different platforms, pushing the same narrative. Yet, despite your continued efforts to spread misinformation, we continue to grow as the largest and most trusted DayZ hosting provider.

Let’s set the record straight: there was never a two-week downtime.. yet another false claim. :D

Your persistence in following us years after your own servers shut down only further proves that this is no longer about an actual experience but rather a personal vendetta...

We remain focused on delivering quality service and innovation to our customers. If you have genuine concerns, we encourage constructive discussions. Otherwise, it’s clear that your comments speak more about your own motives than they do about our company.

Take care.

whilst we tolerate reviews, both pro and con about services/servers/etc.

I'd remind all parties to keep the discussion civil.

That’s fine with us. That reviewer has been following us for 2–3 years, repeatedly attempting to leave 1-star reviews across different platforms while pushing the same narrative. Despite these ongoing attempts to spread misinformation, it’s already well known.

We felt the need to respond, but we’ll leave the conversation here. Thank you. :)

The simple fact that you "felt the need to respond", and publicly argue with not one, but two, current or former paying customer, right or wrong in their beliefs, speaks volumes of your Integrity, and makes me believe the negative far more than the positive.

Also, the first video you provide, shows you installing off-brand Consumer-grade products, in a Commercial SERVER ... AsRock B650M Motherboard, in a SERVER .. seems like your claims of false claims, are false, and YOU provide the video proof.
- Consumer grade SSD, not Enterprise grade for long life and reliable service.
- all assembled on a cluttered bench, with no Anti-static protection what-so-ever.
-- And then, to top off the cake, you overclock an already capable CPU ... This isn't your personal PC bruh, you don't mess with stability when someone else is paying the bills. You literally introduced a failure point where none should exist. If you felt like you NEEDED to overclock, then you should have just invested in better hardware.

Samsung NVMe PRO SSDs are widely recognized for their longevity and reliability in both consumer and professional environments. They perform exceptionally well, and if any hardware ever fails, it is immediately replaced to ensure uptime for our clients.

As for static damage, this isn't the early 2000s. Modern components are designed to handle real-world conditions, and in all our years of operation, we have never lost a component due to static. This claim is simply outdated and irrelevant.

Regarding motherboard, B650M PRO RS, Z790 MSI, and Gigabyte boards are perfectly capable of overclocking, and our liquid-cooled 1U chassis ensures stability. We have been running overclocked setups for high-demand clients like Rearmed, Sunnyvale, and others for years—with zero stability issues.

The reason large-scale servers choose us is simple: Overclocking for single-core performance matters. Massive Rust servers hosting 1,000+ players require overclocking, and we’ve proven our stability and performance over years.

Instead of throwing around terms like "invest in better hardware" without understanding the reasoning behind our configurations, perhaps take a moment to look at the results—the biggest communities rely on our hardware. BattleMetrics doesn't lie.

Enjoy your weekend, more videos coming soon. 😉

"Consumer and Professional" are not equal to "Commercial".

"As for static damage..."
- You fail to see that it is the perception of the viewer, that your methods are "unprofessional" .. Regardless of the risks associated, your video makes it look like you are sloppy and careless, as do your dismissive responses.

I understand you want to make statements to defend your business, as any business owner would, but your own Marketing contradicts your words.
- "Pictures are worth a thousand words" -

I hope you can take this constructively;
Before you responded, I had 2 statements from 2 alleged-consumers* that contradicted each other .. +1 and -1 if you will .. a net-zero opinion.

* I say "alleged-consumers", because I find it very odd that a sever host would be randomly browsing the Steam Player's forums, and just happen to stumble across a Thread about their services. I would be much more inclined to believe, based on your own responses, that the OP of this thread is somehow directly affiliated with your company, and this thread was supposed to be an Advertisement for your PAID services (which I believe is against Steam Terms of Use), rather than a true "Review".

.. Then, in an attempt to "save face", you posted videos confirming the negative comments, while commenting that the negative comments against you, were false.
- I now see with my own eyes, watching YOUR videos that you DO use lower cost/quality consumer-grade products, and that you lied when you said that person's comments were false, AND that you are now making excuses for doing so, while being dismissive.

-- This is what I am seeing, as a potential paying customer/consumer of your service:
Your input, defending your company, has made me feel less confident that you would provide ME the same level of service you claim to provide for "Rearmed and Sunnyvale".

It’s important to set the record straight. Our initial response was directed at a known individual who has been harassing us for over three years, repeatedly spamming 1-star reviews across multiple platforms with the same false claims. This is well-documented in the community. Addressing deliberate misinformation is not about arguing with customers, it’s about protecting our company from misleading narratives.

If you genuinely believe that Intel 14900K, AMD 9800X3D, DDR5 6000MHz+, Samsung 980/990 PRO SSDs, and Z790/B650M motherboards are lower cost or consumer-grade products, then it may be time to reassess your understanding of high-performance computing. These are top-tier gaming boards designed for overclocking and have been optimized for the largest DayZ servers for years with proven success. Overclocking it’s about maximizing performance where it matters most, especially in single-core dependent games like DayZ and Rust. This is exactly why the biggest DayZ communities such as Rearmed, Sunnyvale, Kryptic, Titan, KarmaKrew, and many more choose VYKIX. They don’t pick us for marketing. They pick us because we deliver results!

As for the idea that this thread was intended as an advertisement, that’s yet another baseless assumption. We actively engage in community discussions because we believe in transparency and addressing false information directly. Ignoring misinformation only allows false narratives to spread unchecked. Your stance shifted from neutral to fully biased after seeing our videos not because of any actual issues, but because you chose to misinterpret objective facts to fit a preconceived conclusion.

The real numbers, real performance benchmarks, and real community trust in our service speak for themselves.

BattleMetrics doesn’t lie, and neither do the largest DayZ communities that rely on us daily.

If you are genuinely interested in high-performance hosting, we’re happy to discuss real facts and data. But if your goal is to disregard evidence in favor of personal assumptions, then there’s no productive conversation to be had. Either way, VYKIX will continue leading the way in DayZ hosting, providing unmatched performance for the largest communities in the game.

Enjoy your weekend, and stay tuned for more videos. 😉
