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.

Book a bigger machine for the window rather than a smaller one for longer — an hour of a large server usually costs less than a day of a small one.

For a session, not a season

A community that plays on Saturday nights does not need a server on Tuesday afternoon. Booking by the hour matches the bill to the way people actually play.

Book the window

Name a start and an end. The server is built for that period and comes down at the end of it, and billing stops with it.

Any game, any port

Root access and any TCP or UDP range, so you run your own server binary rather than picking from a supported-games list.

Know the trade

Burstable is cheap while idle and throttles under sustained load. For a persistent competitive server, buy Dedicated instead — we would rather say so than take the order.

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 whatever the job talks to most — the data you are moving, the site you are testing, the registry you are pulling from.

Hourly Game Server in Colchester — FAQs

How is it billed?
By the hour, for the window you book — from $0.1820. This class is billed hourly and only hourly; there is no monthly option for it.
Is it good enough for a competitive server?
For a scheduled session among friends, yes. For a persistent server that has to hold a steady tick under a full lobby, no — that wants Dedicated, because Burstable throttles under exactly that kind of sustained load.
Can I run any game on it?
Anything you can install. You get root and any port range, so it is your server binary and your configuration.
Where should I host it for Colchester players?
Wherever your players are, not where you are. New York is closest to Colchester at 432 km, an estimated 6–13 ms — but if your community is elsewhere, host elsewhere. Every location costs the same.
