Ryzen and EPYC CPUs at 4.5 GHz on our Normal hardware, or 5.0 GHz+ on Extreme. Most game servers run their world on one main thread, so we choose CPUs for single-core speed. DDR5 RAM, picked for stability as well as speed, because a server that stays online matters more than a benchmark.
Real technicians, 24/7/365, with a typical ticket response under 10 minutes. There are limits, as with anything, but there's very little we can't help you do with your game server.
20 locations across North America, Europe, Asia, Oceania, South America and Africa, including London, New York, St. Louis, Sydney, Singapore, São Paulo and Johannesburg. We pick data centres with networks suited to game traffic, so you can host close to your players for a lower ping.
We include free web hosting with all of our game servers, giving you a dedicated space to build and grow your community. Whether you want to share gameplay clips, post updates and announcements, host forums, or showcase content related to your server, you’ll have the flexibility to use your website however you need. It’s an easy way to centralize information, engage your players, and extend your server’s presence beyond the game itself.
We provide a simple and intuitive game server switching service, allowing you to change the game your server is hosting at any time. This eliminates the hassle of canceling your current server and placing a new order, saving you both time and effort. With this feature, you can experiment with different games or adapt to your community’s preferences without any interruptions or extra steps.
Every game server is backed up offsite every night at 4AM (local server time). If a save ever ends up corrupt, which sadly isn't rare with some games, we can restore it from the last nightly backup quickly.
DDoS attacks are a pain, and can entirely ruin the game server hosting experience. That's why we have high-capacity DDoS mitigation available for all game servers. It is constantly evolving, making sure that all new attack vectors are identified and fought against effectively.
Our Gamepanel is fast, user-friendly, and most of all, customised to provide helpful functions that make game server hosting enjoyable. Things like "Backup", "Restore" and "Wipe" Save Data scripts, automated updates, automated mod updates, automated plugin updates and many more.

Understanding the foundation of modern multiplayer gaming infrastructure
A game server is the core infrastructure behind any multiplayer gaming experience. Unlike a typical home PC, it is a purpose-built, high-performance computing system designed specifically to run game logic continuously and reliably. It handles all real-time simulation tasks including player movement, physics calculations, world state updates, collision detection, inventory management, and hit registration. Every action a player takes is processed, validated, and synchronized through the server to ensure consistency across all connected clients. In practical terms, the game server acts as the authoritative source of truth—ensuring that every player sees the same events in the same order, with minimal delay and maximum fairness.
Why Renting a Dedicated Host Beats Local Hosting...
While some games allow peer-to-peer or locally hosted multiplayer (where one player's machine acts as the server), this approach introduces performance limitations, instability, and security risks.
Professional game server hosting eliminates these issues by running your game on dedicated infrastructure built specifically for continuous uptime, low latency networking, and scalable performance. There are three major advantages to using a dedicated game server provider:
Most games rely heavily on single-thread CPU performance, meaning clock speed matters more than core count. Unlike budget hosting providers, PingPerfect uses high-frequency AMD Ryzen and EPYC processors optimized for real-time game workloads.
Combined with DDR5 memory and NVMe storage, our infrastructure ensures fast tick rates and consistent performance even under heavy load. Whether vanilla or heavily modded, servers remain stable and responsive.

Fast and efficent, even let me feel good and let me know that i almost solved it myself. Its support on equal ground
The service has been very stable, and the response by support people, when I've had issues (not necessarily on their end😉), is always very fast... within minutes. They've been extremely helpful in standing up my multiple server cluster and tracking down problems I've had stemming from my lack of understanding of the intricacies of the gaming system.
I have rented servers from a few different companies and PingPerfect has the best support. I have a knack for messing up my server and they always get it running quickly.
Game server hosting means renting a server in a data centre that runs your game's multiplayer world around the clock, so your friends or community can join whenever they like without your own PC staying on. You run it from our Game Panel: start and stop it, change settings, install mods and restore backups.
It depends on the game and on the player slots, RAM and hardware you choose. Plans start from $9.99/month, and each game's page shows its own live prices, plus a Custom option to build your own. Every plan has a 48-hour money-back guarantee.
Setup starts automatically as soon as your order is paid. Small games are ready in under a minute; big games with large downloads can take 10 minutes or more. We email your Game Panel login and server details as soon as it's ready.
