Gaming VPS Hosting

Q: What is a game server?

A game server or a game host is a server that is the definitive source of events in a multiplayer video game. The server transmits sufficient data about its inner state to allow its connected users to create their own accurate version of the game world for players to view. They also obtain and process the input of each player. Basically, everyone in the game is linked to the server. The game server monitors all players in the game, their position, path, gear, health, base positions, etc.

Q: How much does a game server cost?

It depends on the host you select and the game you want. Generally speaking, gaming servers will range from $5 to $150 a month. The cost of a game server depends on how many slots you need and the type of game you're running. But running the server on your own is a different matter. If you want to set up a server in your home or workplace, you're going to save a lot of money. Instead of paying for the hosting company, you have to pay for electricity. On average, such a server can use between 500 and 1,200 watts each hour.nn

Q: Is VPS hosting the proper option to run a game server?

Yes. There are a lot of game servers, but managing the server conditions makes all the difference. VPS servers are a great choice for a game server because they provide versatility, scalability and are independent. As long as you do not use the server for any other operations, multiple players and the flexible nature of games can be accommodated on the VPS server. You can also choose an SSD (Solid State Drive) and use faster boot time, quick access time, higher read or write speeds, instant response, and fast data storage.

Q: What are the requirements for a VPS game server?

A gaming server should be able to process and store large quantities of data within a short timeframe. It should have a low ping value, process data, and respond to the player's request within microseconds. High computing power is particularly required if multiple players access the server at the same time. The server should be able to manage a high number of requests smoothly. Also, any interruption in the connection, even for a few seconds, can lead to a loss of player score or gaming progress data.

Q: How to keep your gaming VPS server secure?

VPS servers come with their own security procedures, but there are some steps you can take. It's important to secure the root server and your email address. Choosing safe passwords, keeping the system up-to-date, setting up a firewall, and making backups are some ways to defend your game server from hackers. Your VPS server should come with measures such as monitoring servers to track your server around the clock and notify you in advance of any malfunctions or attacks.

FAQ | Gaming VPS

What is a game server?

While single-player games run entirely on your own PC or gaming consoles, multi-player gaming needs a server. The server’s job is to send and receive each player’s data and coordinate them to make sure everyone is playing the same game together. It keeps the players in sync and essentially maintains a consistent and stable gaming experience for all users. In order to do that, a gaming server needs a lot of resources, especially bandwidth and low latency. We offer plenty of that in our affordable, high-performance Gaming VPS plans.

How much does a game server cost?

Now this one is a tough question as it really depends on what kind of game you’re planning to host and how many players you’re going to have. A game server is really all about resources like bandwidth, CPU, RAM, and hard drive. While Source-based games like Counter Strike may not require much bandwidth or memory, running your own Minecraft server will eat up about 2Mbps in bandwidth per user and a lot of your server’s RAM space to boot. How many players you’re expecting is also important as more players means more demand on your server’s CPU. Luckily, Cloudzy plans offer all you need and more, with 1Gbps connections, SSD storage, and multi-core CPUs, you can guarantee your users an amazing gaming experience.

Is VPS hosting the proper option to run a game server?

Absolutely! Dedicated gaming servers are great but they can be very expensive. They’re also not very flexible in terms of server locations, resources, or price. A VPS is a virtual private server, a sort of simulated server whose CPU, RAM, storage, and bandwidth can be assigned and changed easily and quickly. With a Gaming VPS, you can get exactly what you need for the kind of game server you want. No need to pay for extra features you won’t really need. Plus, a VPS is much more affordable, something you should consider carefully, especially if it’s your first time setting up a gaming server.

What are the requirements for a VPS game server?

A gaming server is responsible for sending, receiving, and processing a lot of data and it needs to do that quickly and efficiently. That’s why it should have a very low latency or ping value, high-performance specs that can handle large amounts of data, and a considerable bandwidth. Bandwidth is of prime importance because it will be split between the players and if you plan on hosting a resource-intensive game like Minecraft or Call of Duty, then each player will take up a huge chunk of the bandwidth. That’s why Cloudzy’s amazing 1Gbps bandwidth, coupled with monster-grade specs at affordable prices is the right call for any gaming server.

How to keep your gaming VPS server secure?

When you buy one of our Gaming VPS plans, it is already equipped with the latest security protocols to make sure you and your users have a safe, secure gaming experience. There are always things to be done if you want to beef up your VPS security, however. Here are some simple steps to really make sure your server is secure: choose a really good password; update your server’s OS; optimize your firewall policies; always keep up-to-date backups. Our Gaming VPS will protect you from malware and hackers so if you just follow these simple procedures, you’ll be sure to have the safest server around.
