Choose how the processor is shared

Every class ships the same hardware menu and the same Ubuntu Server 24.04 (LTS) 64-bit image. What changes is how the processor is shared — and the price moves with it.

Private servers only

Availability

Budget friendly

Only for a private server among friends. Shared processor time shows up as stutter the moment a fight starts.

Recommended for games

Dedicated

The usual choice

A game server has to finish every tick on time, and dedicated cores are the only way that holds when the server is full.

Hourly only

Burstable

Not for game servers

Not usable. Throttles under sustained load, and a match is sustained load by definition.

per hour — booked for a window, not subscribed

Book by the hour

Launch weekend: add cores and memory on the same server and take them off when the rush settles — by hand, usually within the hour.

Host where your players are

Ping is the one number your players will judge you on, and it is theirs, not yours. Pick the region your community actually lives in — every location costs the same, so there is no reason to compromise.

No ping figures here on purpose: your players' latency depends on where they are, and we have not measured a route we cannot see. Distances and estimated round trips from Darwin are in the table below.

Where your server runs

All 24 locations cost the same, so pick whichever sits closest to the people who will actually use the server. Choose the region closest to the players, not to you. Ping is the whole experience in a shooter, and thirty milliseconds is the difference between a hit and a miss.

Game server hosting for Darwin

We host servers for companies across Darwin — from the CBD, Cullen Bay, Palmerston, Fannie Bay and Nightcliff — and the setup is the same wherever you are: you tell us what the server is for, we build it by hand, and you get access and the login details the same working day.

Sydney is our closest location at 3,149 km, which makes it the usual starting point. If the people using the server are somewhere else, host it somewhere else — every location costs the same.

Gaming VPS in Darwin — FAQs

Should I host near me or near my players?

Near your players, always. Ping is the whole experience in a fast game, and it belongs to them rather than to you. Sydney is closest to Darwin at 3,149 km, but if your community is elsewhere, host elsewhere — every location costs the same.

Which hardware class does a game server need?

Dedicated. A game server has to finish every tick on time, and that only holds when nothing else is competing for the cores. The shared classes show up as stutter the moment a fight starts, and Burstable throttles under exactly the sustained load a full match creates.

Can I open custom ports and run my own binaries?

Yes. Root access, any TCP or UDP port range, and your own server build — there is no supported-games list because there is nothing between you and the machine.

What ping will my players get?

That depends entirely on where they are, and we will not quote a figure for a player whose location we do not know. What we can tell you is the distance from each of our 24 locations, which is on this page — pick the one nearest your community.

How much does a game server cost in Darwin?

From $514.35 USD per month, with $525.35 USD on the Dedicated class, which is the one worth buying here. The same prices apply in all 24 locations.
