INFRASTRUCTURE

What Makes a Game Server
Feel Smooth?

Game servers are unusual workloads. Most of them do the important work on a single thread, which means the speed of one processor core matters far more than how many cores you were sold.

Discover Plans

Attack Protection That Stays On

Gaming communities attract denial of service attacks, often from within their own player base. Every Game VPS runs in our USA game data centre with DDoS protection, included at no extra cost.

Room to Grow

When the community grows, ask our team about moving to a larger plan.

Clock Speed Over Core Count

A game server's main loop generally runs on one thread. A machine with fewer, faster cores will hold a steadier tick rate than one with many slow cores, which is why a general purpose cloud instance often disappoints.

Storage That Keeps Up

NVMe storage matters more than people expect. World saves, chunk loading and map generation are all storage bound, and slow storage shows up as stutter.

Not sure if your game will run?

With root access, anything with a Linux or Windows dedicated server build will run. SteamCMD is the usual installer for most titles and it works normally here. If you are unsure whether the game you have in mind will run well, ask us before you order and we will give you a straight answer rather than a list of logos.

HARDWARE

The Machines Underneath.

What every Game VPS plan runs on.

KVM Virtual Machine

Each Game VPS has its own allocated vCPU cores and memory, from 1 vCPU and 4 GB RAM up to 8 vCPU and 32 GB RAM. Pick more memory for more players and mods.

NVMe SSD Storage

World saves, chunk loading, and map generation are all storage bound. NVMe SSD storage, from 50 GB to 400 GB, keeps those reads and writes quick.

ONBOARDING

From Order to First Player.

Tell us the game and roughly how many players you expect. We will point you at the right size instead of guessing.
