Most game hosts hand you a panel with presets - limited mods, limited configs, zero performance insight. When the server lags at peak hours, you can't do anything about it.
Panels hide the machine - and with it the settings that decide performance: tick rate, thread priority, memory allocation, JVM flags. A VPS puts you on the hardware, the way esports servers actually run. Maximum single-thread? High-frequency dedicated servers - priced on quote.
Your server. Your rules.
A VPS gives you the same hardware professional game servers run on - without panel restrictions. Any game, any mod, any configuration.
High-frequency CPUs Game engines are single-threaded. High-Performance and Ryzen VPS plans hold 4.5 GHz+ for maximum tick rate. 
Full root access Custom JVM flags, priority tuning, kernel parameters, unlimited mods. Configure exactly what the game requires. 
DDoS protection Game servers are favorite DDoS targets. Optional filtering keeps you online through attacks without adding player latency. The right server for your scale.
Different games, different demands. Minecraft wants single-thread speed and RAM; ARK wants raw CPU and storage. Match the hardware to the game.
Small & vanilla servers Vanilla Minecraft, Terraria, Factorio, small Valheim worlds. Good single-thread speed carries 5–15 players. 
Modded & medium servers Forge/Fabric modpacks, Valheim 10+, Palworld, 7 Days to Die. Fast CPUs and NVMe for modpacks and bigger worlds. 
Competitive & large scale CS2 128-tick, ARK clusters, Minecraft networks, tournament setups. Dedicated high-frequency metal, zero compromise. Six games, sized to the tick.
The titles our customers host most - with the tick target, player count and plan that keep them smooth. Click a row; deploy the match.
Single-thread is king: Aikar’s flags + 4.5 GHz Ryzen holds 20 TPS where 2.5 GHz shared cores drop to 15. RAM scales with view distance and plugins.
What you can host.
Any game with a dedicated server binary runs on a VPS. These are the titles our customers host most - with the specs that matter.

Voice & communityPut the server next to the players.
Lower ping, better gameplay. EU squads land in Sofia, Nuremberg or London; US crews pick New York, Dallas, LA or Seattle for coast-to-coast coverage.
Common questions.
Everything you need to know about game servers on AlphaVPS infrastructure. Still unsure - ask a human.
CONTACT SALESSSH in, pull the server files (SteamCMD or direct download), configure, start. Most games have well-documented Linux guides; Minecraft is a .jar upload and a java command. The knowledge base carries per-game walkthroughs.
Game-dependent. A 2-core VPS: 10–15 Minecraft players or a small Valheim world. A 4-core High-Performance VPS: 30–50 Minecraft players or a 32-player Palworld server. 100+ communities and multi-server networks belong on dedicated hardware. The levers are clock speed (tick rate) and RAM (world size).
Most engines run the main game loop on one thread - higher GHz means more ticks per second, which players feel as smoothness. A 4.5 GHz core holds 20 TPS in modded Minecraft where a 2.5 GHz core sags to 15. That's why Ryzen and High-Performance plans are the gaming favorites.
Yes, as an optional add-on. It filters volumetric and application-layer attacks without adding meaningful latency. Competitive and popular community servers should consider it default equipment.
Yes - several instances side by side (a Minecraft world + TeamSpeak, or multiple worlds), RAM and CPU permitting. Docker keeps each one cleanly isolated.
Zero restrictions. Forge, Fabric, Bukkit/Spigot/Paper plugins, custom maps, resource packs - anything that runs on Linux. No approval process, no blacklisted mods, no file-size limits.
systemd (built into Linux) restarts crashed servers automatically - one service file. screen/tmux works for quick sessions; tools like MSM or Mark2 add scheduled restarts, backups and monitoring for Minecraft.
Any time. A VPS is general-purpose - stop Minecraft, start Valheim, or repurpose the box entirely as a VPN or media server. You're never locked to one title or panel.
