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.
Which tiers suit Gaming Companies & Communities
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 | 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. |

Gaming in Rutherglen, business by business
These are not the same workload. Sized at the medium band, here is what each one actually needs.
| Business | Build | Tier | What decides it |
|---|---|---|---|
| Game Server Hosting | 1 vCPU · 10 GB · 100 GB | VPS | Tick rate is the whole product: a stutter is felt by every player at once and is not forgiven. |
| Game Development | 4 vCPU · 48 GB · 4000 GB | VDS | Game assets are enormous binaries, and version control for them is a storage problem more than a code one. |
| Esports Organisations | 1 vCPU · 10 GB · 1000 GB | VPS | Everything happens during the event window, where thousands watch a match that must not stutter. |
| Gaming Communities | 1 vCPU · 10 GB · 350 GB | VPS | Evenings and weekends carry nearly all the activity, and voice runs for hours per session. |
| Gaming Venues | 4 vCPU · 64 GB · 1500 GB | VDS | Every outcome is logged for audit, and the regulator's requirements shape the architecture more than the playe... |
