In-house control panel roll out.
2014
In 2014, a custom control panel was developed in-house to cater directly towards the complex requirements behind popular ARMA 2 and ARMA 3 mods. The panel was a response to the lack of flexibility popular game panels have offered for years. Allowed us to expand to more games, more complex modding setups, and a higher level of direct customization.
The Survival Servers anthem: high quality hardware and competitive pricing on our own custom game server control panel.

The Survival Servers story begins.
2012
Survival Servers was started in August 2012 by two friends. As one of the original hosting providers for the original ARMA 2: Operation Arrowhead mod "DayZ," (the obsession that started it all) Survival Servers quickly became a known brand due to the competitive pricing and full-fledged feature set of their custom DayZ Tools, Private Hive scripts, and easy integrations with other popular Arma 2 mods.
