What is Nakama VPS?

About 9 1

Nakama is a scalable server for social and real-time games, offering authentication, storage, chat, matchmaking, leaderboards, and multiplayer. Cloudzy’s Nakama VPS hosting arrives on Ubuntu 24.04 with Docker installed, a ready docker-compose, and a systemd service so Nakama starts on boot. Choose PostgreSQL or CockroachDB, then access the API on port 7350 and the Console on 7351 with root credentials in /root/.cloudzy-creds. Dedicated vCPUs, DDR5 memory, NVMe storage, and an up to 40 Gbps uplink keep latency low for live features and leaderboards. Snapshots help you test changes safely, and you can scale CPU, RAM, or disk as your game grows.

What Our Users Have To Say

Cloudzy is a great hosting provider, and I haven't had any issues with them. They also let you pay with bitcoin, so you wouldn't need to reveal your credit info online. For me, respecting my privacy is as important as service performance, and this is where Cloudzy has been a terrific hosting provider.

One of the most scalable VPS providers out there. You can easily start a small server and scale to however large your needs may be. All of the services are cheaper than average and I have never seen an online service have such a quickly responsive support. Recommended for sure.
