Why a VPS Beats Game Hosting Services

Game hosting companies make money by packing servers together and limiting what you can do. A VPS gives you dedicated resources and complete control — often for less money.

• Dedicated CPU for Your ServerGame servers need consistent CPU performance. Your allocated cores are yours alone — no throttling when the host gets busy.
• Low-Latency NVMe StorageWorld saves, player data, and mods load fast. NVMe SSDs handle the constant read/write operations game servers demand.
• Full Root AccessInstall any game server, mod, or plugin you want. Configure everything exactly how you need it. No control panel limitations.
• Run Multiple ServersHost Minecraft, Valheim, and a voice server on the same VPS. You decide how to use your resources.
• No Player Slot LimitsYour player count is limited by your hardware, not arbitrary restrictions. Scale up your plan when you need more capacity.

Low Ping for European Players

Server location matters for gaming. A server in Amsterdam puts you close to the majority of European players, with fast routes to everywhere else.

• Central European LocationAmsterdam sits at the heart of European internet infrastructure. Players across the EU get sub-30ms ping. UK, Germany, France, and Scandinavia all connect fast.
• AMS-IX ConnectivityDirect peering at one of the world's largest internet exchanges. Your packets take the shortest path to your players.
• Stable Power GridThe Netherlands has reliable infrastructure. Your game server stays online through weather events and grid fluctuations that take down servers elsewhere.
• Good Routes WorldwideNot just Europe — Amsterdam has excellent connectivity to North America and Asia. International player bases stay connected.

Any game with a Linux dedicated server runs on our VPS. Here are some popular choices our customers run.

Choosing the Right Plan

Different games need different resources. Here's a rough guide — your needs depend on player count, mods, and world size.

• Light Games (Terraria, small Minecraft)2 cores, 4GB RAM handles vanilla or lightly modded servers with a handful of players. Our Bronze or Silver plans work well.
• Medium Games (Valheim, modded Minecraft)4 cores, 8GB RAM for modded servers or games with larger worlds. Gold plan handles most setups comfortably.
• Heavy Games (ARK, large modpacks)8+ cores, 16GB+ RAM for resource-intensive games. Platinum or Diamond plans give you room to grow.
• Start Small, Upgrade LaterNot sure what you need? Start with a smaller plan and upgrade through the customer portal when you need more power.
