Cheap Dedicated Gaming Servers

Game servers are uniquely demanding workloads. They require low-latency networking, high single-thread CPU performance, fast memory access, and consistent tick rates. On shared VPS hosting, other tenants competing for CPU time cause tick rate drops and lag spikes that ruin the gaming experience. A dedicated server eliminates this problem entirely.

Popular games like Minecraft, ARK: Survival Evolved, Rust, and Valheim are heavily single-threaded and benefit enormously from high-frequency CPU cores. Our gaming-optimized servers use processors with boost clocks up to 5.0 GHz, delivering the per-core performance that keeps game servers running at full tick rate with dozens of players online.

Dedicated hardware also means you can run multiple game server instances on a single machine. Host several Minecraft worlds, multiple CS2 servers, or a mix of different games — all on one box with guaranteed resources. No noisy neighbor effects, no performance fluctuations, just consistent bare-metal speed.

Game servers are frequent DDoS targets. Competitors, angry players, and random attackers can flood your server with traffic, causing disconnections and making your servers unplayable. AnubizHost includes enterprise-grade DDoS protection with every gaming server at no extra cost.

Our DDoS mitigation is specifically tuned for gaming traffic. We understand the difference between legitimate game packets and attack traffic, filtering malicious connections while preserving the low-latency experience your players expect. Standard volumetric protection handles attacks up to 1 Tbps, with premium protection available for even larger threats.

Protection activates automatically within seconds of detecting an attack. There is no manual intervention needed, no support ticket to file, and no downtime while scrubbing kicks in. Your players may not even notice the attack — they just keep playing while our network absorbs and discards the malicious traffic.

Our entry-level gaming server at $59/mo features a high-frequency Intel Xeon E3 or equivalent processor with boost clocks up to 4.5 GHz, 32 GB DDR4 RAM, 2x 500 GB NVMe SSD, and unmetered 1 Gbps bandwidth. This setup handles Minecraft servers with 50+ players, Rust servers, Valheim worlds, and most multiplayer game servers comfortably.

For larger gaming communities, our mid-range plans offer Intel Core i9 or AMD Ryzen 9 processors with clock speeds up to 5.0 GHz, 64 GB RAM, and NVMe storage. These configurations support ARK clusters, large Minecraft networks with multiple worlds and proxy servers, and competitive FPS servers requiring maximum tick rate performance.

Running a game hosting business? Our multi-server packages provide volume pricing on gaming-optimized hardware. Deploy a fleet of game servers across multiple locations to offer your customers low-latency options in different regions. All servers include the same DDoS protection, management tools, and support.

Order your gaming dedicated server, choose your operating system (most game servers run on Linux for best performance), and complete payment. Standard gaming configurations are provisioned within 4 to 12 hours. Install your game server software using SteamCMD, package managers, or manual deployment — full root access means no restrictions on what you run.

Our control panel provides real-time resource monitoring so you can track CPU usage, RAM consumption, and network throughput for each game server instance. Set up alerts for resource thresholds to catch problems before your players notice them. Historical data helps you plan capacity for growing player communities.
