Once purchased, your game server will be deployed instantly by our automated systems, and you'll be playing on the server well within 10 minutes (largely depends on the file size of the game you've chosen). The moment the deployment completes, your gamepanel and server details are emailed directly to you.
We only use the latest greatest hardware, typically Ryzen or EPYC CPUs. Highest single core performance possible (as that's all that really matters for game servers, unlike pretty much all other software). Very high speed DDR5 RAM, not the highest though, as we factor stability into the choice of RAM heavily, as after all, you want a server that stays online all the time.
We have industry leading support, available 24 days a week, every week, all year (24/7/365). We will always do our utmost to assist in any way we can. There's limits of course, as there is with anything, but there's very little we won't or can't help you achieve with your game server.
We're everywhere. All around the world. We've selected some really great datacenters all around the world that specialise in providing the type of network that makes game servers perform flawlessly, low ping, no packet loss, if you don't understand what this means, simply put it means your connection is fast and reliable... no matter where you are around the globe.
We provide free web hosting with all our game servers, so you can have somewhere to build a community, share clips of gameplay, or anything else you'd typically use a website for.
We offer a very easy to use game server switching service, this means you can switch the game your server is hosting at any time. Avoids you having to go through the hassle of cancelling your current game server and ordering a new one - saving you time and effort!
Benefit from our offsite backup system, that backs up all game servers at 4AM (local server time) - this system is massively beneficial as if the worst happens and your save ends up corrupt - which sadly with some games is not uncommon, we'll be able to restore 95% of your progression, quickly.
DDoS attacks are a pain, and can entirely ruin the game server hosting experience. That's why we have high capacity, intelligient DDoS protection 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 updated and many more.
We offer a 48 hour moneyback guarantee on all our game servers (from initial purchase), so if you do decide our hosting isn't for you, you can rest assured that your money isn't wasted.
All games* have FTP / FTPs / SFTP Access to almost all files, so you can very easily transfer files from your PC to your game server using your preferred FTP client. You can upload customised configurations, mods and/or plugins fast and securely, so you can build your game server to suit your exact needs.
* SCUM doesn't have full file access because of restrictions by the game's creators
We have specifically chosen datacenters that provide the lowest ping / latency as well as very stable ping / latency ; as it is critical for optimal gameplay on a game server. We all know how frustrating it is when you're mid battle and high ping strikes, safe to say it's probably one of if not the most frustrating moment when gaming...

We’re confident you’ll see the difference.
It is highly likely dedicated game server hosting will have superior hardware to that of a peer-to-peer hosting setup. Good hardware is expensive!
Commercial Networking connections are vastly superior to that of an consumer Internet Service Provider.
We pay the electricity cost, not you, it is as simple as that.
Heat is a big issue when running hardware 24/7/365 - you needn't worry about heat as that is taken care of by the hardware being in one of our datacenters.
Dedicated game server hosting is online 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. That is impractical for peer-to-peer hosting, who leaves their PC on that much?!
Dedicated game server hosting can be placed in any of our 25 locations. With peer-to-peer hosting you are limited to hosting the server from where you are physically located.
DDoS (Distributed Denial of Service) Protection is essential for stopping malicious players ruining your gameplay. You'll only get DDoS protection with dedicated game server hosting.
A game server is a specialised computer system that's sole purpose is to process the code required to make multiplayer games function; process player position data, perform physics calculations, hit registration, synchronisation and more... They are essential in providing smooth gameplay that is expected by the modern gamer. Without them, multiplayer gaming wouldn't be as fun, and definitely wouldn't have grown to the scale it has.
To elaborate, a game server determines the game state, then sends that to all players, it calculates the game state every tick, and tick rate is therefore the measure of how often the game state is calculated. Game state is a snapshot of everything occurring in the game world, positional data, physics calculations, environment data, scores, etc... Tick rate is a measure of game state updates. Tick rate is the number of times the game state is calculated and then broadcast to each connected player, every second. The higher the tick rate, the more accurate the game is. Why does tick rate matter? Well, you always want the game you're playing to be accurate, best example is a gun fight, a low tick rate can cause shots that should hit your target, to miss. This leads into why server hardware is so important; server tick rate is directly supported by the underlying hardware, powerful hardware leads to a high tick rate and vice versa. This is because the more often the game state needs updating (a tick), the more CPU power is required to do so, updating the game state 128 times in a second is a damn sight harder than 32 times in a second...
Game servers use the client/server model - simply explained, the server processes almost all the necessary data, then sends it to any connected clients (players). The alternative is the peer-to-peer hosting model, this is where one client (peer) is the host (usually the first to start the game, or the client with the strongest network connection), all other clients send their data to the host, the host then does the processing and sends data back. The client/server model is superior to the peer-to-peer model for many reasons...
The biggest advantage of client/server model game server hosting is accessibility; if the server is online (which it will be, 24/7/365), then any client can connect and enjoy the game. With peer-to-peer hosting, you need the host to leave their personal computer online 24/7/365, that is not very often not feasible. You can get around this by sending the relevant save data at the end of a play session to the next person that will play, but that's time consuming, tedious, and difficult in comparison to having a game server just host the data all the time.
The other big advantage of client/server model game server hosting is superior performance; due to the way peer-to-peer hosting works (data going back and forth between all clients) when a client with poor hardware and/or network connection connects, everyone is held back by them, this doesn't occur with client/server hosting as the server processes' data for each client asynchronously (when data is received, its processed and sent back, theres no waiting for another client).
Game servers, VPS (Virtual Private Servers) and Dedicated Servers all use the client/server model for the aforementioned reasons
Game servers are typically run on shared hardware (this provides cost effectiveness compared to a VPS or Dedicated Server) which means that multiple customers game servers are powered by the same underlying hardware. The CPU, RAM and Storage is split between all the customers. Obviously it's in the best interests of the hosting provider to manage the amount of customers game servers on the underlying hardware to ensure optimal performance. This is very difficult as each game server uses resources differently.
In terms of the actual hardware used for game server hosting, it's not dissimilar to that of a gaming PC. This is because at it's core, every game is a big loop of events (process player position data, perform physics calculations, hit registration, synchronisation and more) that must be performed one after another, cannot be performed at the same time. That therefore favors fast single core performance (high clock cycle speeds). Game servers are no different, they not coincidentally are also a big loop of events, and therefore also benefit from fast single core performance. So using traditional server CPUs that have a large amount of cores, but each core is relatively slow, does not provide the best performance. You will get much better performance from a game server when using gaming PC hardware that has a lesser amount of cores, but each core is relatively fast - high clock speed and high instructions per clock cycle (IPC)
