The Problem

Managed game hosting
limits control.

Most game server providers give you a panel with preset options - limited mods, limited configurations, and limited performance insight. When your server lags during peak hours, you can't do anything about it.

Game panels hide the underlying server, restricting your access to the very settings that affect performance: tick rate, thread priority, memory allocation, JVM flags. A VPS puts you in full control of the hardware and software stack - the same way professional esports servers are run. For maximum single-thread performance, see our high-frequency dedicated servers.

The Right Approach

Your server.
Your rules.

A VPS gives you the same hardware that hosts professional game servers - without the restrictions of managed panels. Install any game, any mod, any configuration.

High-Frequency CPUs Most game engines are single-threaded. Our High-Performance and Ryzen VPS plans deliver 4.5GHz+ clock speeds for maximum tick rate.

Full Root Access Custom JVM flags, priority tuning, kernel parameters, unlimited mods. No panel restrictions - configure your server exactly as the game requires.

DDoS Protection Game servers are frequent DDoS targets. Optional DDoS protection keeps your server online during attacks without affecting player latency.

Stop renting a slot on someone else's machine. Run your own game server on dedicated resources - with the freedom to optimize every setting.

Solution Paths

The right server
for your game.

Different games have different demands. A Minecraft server needs single-thread speed and RAM. An ARK server needs raw CPU and storage. Pick the hardware that matches your game.

Small Servers & Vanilla

Minecraft vanilla, Terraria, Factorio, small Valheim worlds. A lightweight VPS with good single-thread speed handles 5-15 players.

Minecraft Terraria Factorio

Recommended: Cheap VPS from €2.54/mo

Modded & Medium Servers

Modded Minecraft (Forge/Fabric), Valheim 10+ players, Palworld, 7 Days to Die. Fast CPUs and NVMe storage for modpacks and larger worlds.

Modded MC Valheim Palworld

Recommended: High-Performance VPS from €4.24/mo

Competitive & Large Scale

CS2 128-tick, ARK clusters, large Minecraft networks, esports tournament servers. Dedicated high-frequency hardware for zero-compromise performance.

CS2 ARK Cluster Esports

Recommended: High-Frequency Dedicated from €89/mo or Unmetered Dedicated for bandwidth-heavy games

Popular Games

What you
can host

Any game with a dedicated server binary runs on a VPS. Here are the most popular titles our customers host - along with the specs that matter most.

Minecraft

Vanilla, Spigot, Paper, Forge, Fabric. Custom JVM flags (Aikar's), plugin management, multi-world setups. Best on Ryzen VPS for maximum single-thread performance.

Paper Forge Fabric

Valheim & Palworld

Persistent survival worlds with 10-32 players. NVMe storage keeps world saves fast, high-frequency CPUs maintain smooth tick rates during boss fights.

Persistent World NVMe

CS2 & Competitive FPS

128-tick servers, custom configs, tournament setups. Low-latency networking across our global network and high single-thread performance for competitive play.

128-Tick Low Latency

ARK & Rust

Resource-intensive survival games with large maps. Dedicated servers handle the heavy CPU and storage demands these games require.

Large Maps High CPU

Modded Servers

Forge modpacks (100+ mods), custom content, total conversion mods. Full root access means no mod restrictions - install anything.

Forge 100+ Mods

Voice & Community

Run TeamSpeak, Mumble, or Discord bots alongside your game server. Use the same VPS for game hosting and voice communication.

Common Questions

Game Server FAQ

Everything you need to know about hosting game servers on a VPS

Connect via SSH, download the game server files (usually via SteamCMD or direct download), configure the server settings, and start it. Most game servers have well-documented Linux installation guides. For Minecraft, it's as simple as uploading a .jar file and running it with Java. Our knowledge base has specific guides for popular games.

It depends on the game. A 2-core VPS handles 10-15 Minecraft players or a small Valheim server. A 4-core High-Performance VPS handles 30-50 Minecraft players or a 32-player Palworld server. For 100+ player communities or multi-server networks, consider dedicated hardware. The key factors are CPU clock speed (for tick rate) and RAM (for world size).

Most game server engines process their main game loop on a single thread. Higher clock speed (GHz) means more ticks processed per second, which translates to smoother gameplay. A 4.5GHz CPU will maintain a stable 20 TPS in modded Minecraft where a 2.5GHz CPU drops to 15 TPS. This is why our High-Performance and Ryzen VPS plans are popular for gaming.

Yes. DDoS protection is available as an optional add-on. It filters volumetric and application-layer attacks without adding significant latency to player connections. Game servers are frequent targets for DDoS attacks, especially competitive and popular community servers.

Yes. A single VPS can run multiple game server instances - for example, a Minecraft server and a TeamSpeak server, or multiple Minecraft worlds. Just ensure you have enough RAM and CPU for all instances. Docker containers can help isolate each server cleanly.

Full root access means zero restrictions on mods. Install Forge, Fabric, Bukkit/Spigot/Paper plugins, custom maps, resource packs - anything that runs on a Linux server. No approval process, no blacklisted mods, no file size limits.

Use a process manager like systemd (built into Linux) or screen/tmux to keep the server running after you disconnect. Set up automatic restarts on crash with a simple systemd service file. For Minecraft, tools like MSM or Mark2 provide auto-restart, backup, and monitoring features.

Absolutely. A VPS is a general-purpose server - you can install and uninstall any game server at any time. Want to switch from Minecraft to Valheim? Just stop one server and start another. You're not locked into a single game panel or provider. You can also run a VPN server or media streaming on the same VPS.
