Which server is suitable for game servers?

Knowledge & Answers

Which server is suitable for game servers?

The right choice depends on game, player count, modding, and performance goals.

Key performance factors

Game servers benefit from high single-core performance and stable RAM.

Low ping and low jitter often matter more than maximum bandwidth.

  • CPU clock and single-core performance.
  • RAM per player, mods, and map size.
  • NVMe storage for fast load times.

Typical scenarios

A rough categorization helps selection:

  • Small community: vServer is often enough.
  • Mid-size projects: VDS with guaranteed resources.
  • Large servers with high tickrate: dedicated.

Network and location

A location close to players improves latency. Good peering and routing are decisive.

Security

Game servers are common DDoS targets. Protection reduces outages and lag.

Key takeaways

Die wichtigsten Punkte auf einen Blick

Single-core performance is often the bottleneck.

The larger and more critical the server, the more dedicated makes sense.
