Server infrastructure for Game Development in Novena
There is no single correct server for Game Development; there is a correct one for the workload, the volume and the budget. For a medium Game Development business in Novena that is about 4 Cores, 48 GB of memory and 4000 GB of storage on VDS.
- ✓ 5 infrastructure tiers
- ✓ Sized for your workload, not a plan name
- ✓ Same price in all 24 locations
Estimated from fibre distance, not measured from Novena. Your real figure depends on your connection and route, and lands inside this range.

Configure this build →These figures are assumptions stated out loud, not predictions about your business. Memory, cores and disk can all be raised on the same server later, usually within the hour, with no rebuild and no new IP address — so starting one size below the estimate is normally the cheaper mistake.
Why Game Development size up this way
Working from about 50,000 visits a month and roughly 26,667 requests a day, storage grows by roughly 300 GB a month at this size, which usually decides the build before CPU does; about 32 GB of data needs to stay in memory to keep queries fast; and each request costs real computation rather than a cache lookup, so cores matter more here than on a typical site.
- 0.6 req/sec at peak
- 32 GB working set
- 300 GB/month growth

Which tiers suit Game Development
Including the ones that do not, and why — that is usually the more useful half.
| Infrastructure | Verdict | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Shared Hosting Managed space on a shared server | Not this one | There is no version of this workload that fits on shared hosting. |
| VPS Flexible virtual infrastructure with full root access | Workable | Useful for development, notebooks and light inference, but not for training or sustained compute. |
| VDS Virtual server with resources pinned to you alone | Workable | Suits CPU-bound preprocessing and data preparation with a guaranteed share of the machine. |
| Dedicated Server An entire physical server, configured to your specification | Recommended | Production compute wants the whole machine, with memory bandwidth that is not being shared. |
| Bare Metal Physical compute for sustained, demanding workloads | Recommended | Training, inference and simulation belong on physical hardware, with GPUs available on request. |
Game Development workloads you can host
Game assets are enormous binaries, and version control for them is a storage problem more than a code one.
- Asset version control
- Build farm
- Playtest builds
- Crash & telemetry capture
- Localisation pipeline
Where your server runs
All 24 locations cost the same, so pick whichever sits closest to the people who will actually use the server.

The closest of our 24 data centres to Novena is Singapore, about 3 miles away. The price is the same in all 24 locations, so distance is the only variable worth optimising.
Novena has a population of about 53,160, which is why the medium build above is the one most likely to fit a Game Development business here — though the other two are a click away if it does not. Local time is Asia/Singapore, so routine maintenance and backups are scheduled against your overnight rather than ours.
Data stays in the jurisdiction you choose, which matters if you are working to the PDPA. Pricing is quoted in SGD, and the figure is the same wherever the machine physically sits.
