Game Server Hosting with DDoS Protection and Low Latency

Game servers are uniquely demanding workloads. Unlike web hosting where a few hundred milliseconds of latency goes unnoticed, multiplayer games require consistent sub-50ms response times, high single-thread CPU performance, and zero packet loss. AnubizHost infrastructure is purpose-built for these requirements, with high-clock-speed processors, NVMe storage for rapid world loading, and premium network routes optimized for gaming traffic.

Our data centers connect directly to major internet exchanges across Europe, providing single-digit millisecond latency to players in Western and Central Europe and excellent routing to North America and Asia. Every server includes enterprise-grade DDoS protection that filters volumetric and application-layer attacks without adding latency to legitimate player traffic.

We support every major game title and engine. From Minecraft and Rust to ARK and Valheim, our servers handle the CPU and memory demands of modern game engines. You get full root access to install mods, plugins, custom maps, and any software your community needs — no restrictions, no locked-down control panels.

Every game server at AnubizHost runs on the latest Intel Xeon and AMD EPYC processors with clock speeds exceeding 4.5 GHz on turbo boost. High single-thread performance is critical for game engines like Source, Unreal, and Java-based servers that rely on a primary thread for world simulation. Our hardware ensures your server maintains stable tick rates even during peak player counts.

Memory is equally important for game hosting. Our servers are equipped with DDR4 ECC RAM starting at 32 GB, ensuring your game worlds, player data, and plugin systems have room to operate without swapping to disk. NVMe SSD storage provides the fast read/write speeds needed for chunk loading, world saves, and database operations that would bottleneck on traditional spinning disks.

We monitor hardware health around the clock. If a drive shows early signs of failure or a memory module reports errors, our team replaces it proactively — before it causes crashes or data corruption that would disrupt your players mid-session.

Gaming communities are frequent targets for DDoS attacks. Disgruntled players, rival communities, and random script kiddies routinely launch attacks against game servers to cause downtime. AnubizHost includes always-on DDoS mitigation that detects and filters attacks in real time, keeping your server online and your players connected even during active attacks.

Our mitigation infrastructure handles volumetric floods exceeding 1 Tbps as well as sophisticated application-layer attacks that target specific game protocols. The filtering is tuned for gaming traffic patterns, so legitimate UDP game packets pass through with zero added latency while attack traffic is silently dropped at the network edge.

Unlike providers that route all traffic through a filtering proxy and add 20-50ms of latency, our mitigation sits directly in the network path with hardware-accelerated packet inspection. Your players experience the same low latency whether an attack is in progress or not, and you never need to change IP addresses or configure external protection services.

Setting up your game server with AnubizHost is straightforward. Choose your plan based on CPU, RAM, and storage requirements, select your preferred operating system — we support all major Linux distributions and Windows Server — and your server is provisioned within minutes. You receive full root or administrator access immediately, so you can install your game server software and start configuring right away.

For community owners who prefer a managed experience, we offer one-click game server installations for popular titles. Our control panel lets you start, stop, and restart your server, manage files via SFTP, schedule automatic backups, and monitor resource usage in real time. You can also set up automatic restarts and crash recovery to keep your server running 24/7 without manual intervention.

We accept a wide range of payment methods including credit cards, PayPal, and cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin for maximum privacy. Our support team is available around the clock to help with server configuration, performance optimization, and any technical questions you may have about running your game server.
