Built for game loops
Clock speed over core count
Game servers spend most of their time on one thread: physics, entity updates, the world tick. Our game plans use desktop-class Intel CPUs running at up to 4.7 GHz, where many server CPUs stay well below 4 GHz.
Storage split
Fast disks for the world, big disks for the rest
Keep maps, databases and mods on the SSDs for short load times. The 4 TB hard disk holds backups, logs and retired worlds without filling up the fast storage.
Which games can I host?
Anything that runs on Linux or Windows Server. These are dedicated machines, so you install and run the game server software of your choice.
Why only four cores?
Most game servers run their main loop on a single thread. A fast core keeps the tick rate stable as the player count climbs, which matters more than a high core count. If you run many instances side by side, dedicated servers with more memory may suit you better.
How quickly is a server ready?
We install the operating system you choose and hand the server over within 24 hours of payment. We email you when it is ready; the access details are in your dashboard.
Is there something smaller?
Yes. For a world with friends or a first community server, our Game VPS plans are the cheaper way to start, with the same DDoS mitigation.
Are game servers a common DDoS target?
Yes, which is why DDoS mitigation is included on every plan. Attack traffic is filtered in our network while players keep connecting.
