Game Server VPS — Your Own Virtual Machine for Gaming

A VPS provides advantages that shared game hosting panels cannot match. You get full root access to a Linux or Windows virtual machine, meaning you can install any software, configure the operating system exactly how you want, and run multiple game servers or supporting services on a single machine. There are no restrictions imposed by a game hosting panel — if it runs on an OS, it runs on your VPS.

This flexibility is essential for advanced setups like running game servers alongside voice communication software, web servers for community websites, database servers for plugin data, and monitoring tools. Everything runs on one machine with local network communication, eliminating the latency and complexity of splitting services across multiple providers.

VPS hosting also gives you complete control over updates, restarts, and maintenance schedules. No hosting panel decides when your server updates or restarts. You control the timing of every operation, ensuring your gaming community is never disrupted by automated maintenance that conflicts with peak playing hours.

AnubizHost game VPS plans provide dedicated CPU cores, guaranteed RAM allocation, and NVMe SSD storage. Your resources are isolated from other customers on the same physical host, ensuring consistent performance regardless of what other VPS instances are doing. There is no noisy-neighbor problem and no shared resource contention.

Our VPS hosts use high-clock-speed processors optimized for gaming workloads. The same enterprise CPUs that power our managed game hosting underpin our VPS infrastructure, delivering the per-core performance that game server engines require for smooth tick rates and responsive gameplay.

Storage performance is equally important. NVMe SSDs provide the fast read/write speeds needed for world saves, chunk loading, and database operations. Every VPS includes NVMe storage by default — there is no spinning disk option to accidentally select that would bottleneck your game server's performance.

A single VPS can host multiple game servers simultaneously, making it cost-effective for communities that play multiple games. Run your Minecraft server, Valheim world, and Terraria instance all on one VPS, allocating resources between them based on which games your community is currently most active in.

Port management gives you full flexibility to assign game servers to any available port. Configure your firewall to expose only the ports your game servers use, enhancing security by minimizing your attack surface. Our DDoS protection covers all ports on your VPS, not just specific game server ports.

Supporting services like MySQL/MariaDB databases for plugin data, Nginx web servers for live maps and community pages, and automated backup scripts all coexist on your VPS without additional hosting costs. This consolidation simplifies management and reduces total hosting expenses compared to separate services from multiple providers.

Select your VPS plan based on the total resources your game servers need. Choose your operating system — we support Ubuntu, Debian, CentOS, Rocky Linux, Windows Server, and more — and your VPS is provisioned within minutes. You receive root/administrator credentials and can begin installing game server software immediately.

For users who want the VPS flexibility but prefer some automation, we provide installation scripts for popular game servers that set up the software, create systemd services for automatic startup, and configure basic firewall rules. These scripts save time while still leaving you in full control of the environment.

Our support team assists with VPS-level issues including network configuration, OS problems, and hardware concerns. Game server software installation and configuration are your responsibility on a VPS, but our documentation and community resources provide guidance for common setups across all major game titles.
