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.

Hourly only

Burstable

Not for game servers

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

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.

Gaming VPS in West Lafayette — 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. Chicago is closest to West Lafayette at 172 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 West Lafayette?
From $514.35 USD per month, with $536.35 USD on the Dedicated class, which is the one worth buying here. The same prices apply in all 24 locations.
