  • 6 GB RAM
  • 50 GB storage

A single site or team, with traffic that arrives in a predictable working-hours pattern.

VPS

  • 100 GB storage

A growing business running several systems, where an outage now costs real money.

Large

51+ people · ~500,000 visits a month


VDS

  • 48 GB RAM
  • 350 GB storage

Multiple sites or a busy platform, with traffic that spikes and an obligation to stay up.

Which tiers suit Game Server Hosting

InfrastructureVerdictWhy
Shared Hosting Managed space on a shared server Not this one Persistent connections and custom ports are exactly what a shared platform does not permit.
VPS Flexible virtual infrastructure with full root access Workable Enough for a small server or a test instance, though a noisy neighbour shows up immediately as jitter.
VDS Virtual server with resources pinned to you alone Recommended Pinned cores are what keep tick rate and call quality steady; on a contended instance they are not.
Dedicated Server An entire physical server, configured to your specification Recommended Single-tenant hardware removes the last source of variance, which is what these workloads are judged on.
Bare Metal Physical compute for sustained, demanding workloads Workable For operators running many instances at once on hardware they control.

Tick rate is the whole product: a stutter is felt by every player at once and is not forgiven.

  • Tick loop & state sync

Game Server Hosting hosting — FAQs

What server specification do Game Server Hosting usually need?
It depends on volume more than on the industry. A medium-sized operation working from about 50,000 visits a month lands around single core, 10 GB of memory and 100 GB of storage.
How were these figures worked out?
From an assumed traffic level, the number of requests each page makes, and how much data the application keeps warm — then rounded up to a build we actually sell. They are assumptions stated out loud rather than measurements of your business.
Can we change size later?
Yes. Memory, cores and disk can all be raised on the same server, usually within the hour, with no rebuild and no new IP address.
