Gaming server hosting FAQs
What is a game server?
A game server is a specialized server configured for playing games. Essentially, there are two types of game servers depending on their owner:
- Public server – usually owned by a game developer or a third party, this server is typically available to anyone who has purchased the game. Users can participate in multiplayer gameplay; however, there aren’t many customization options.
- Your own server – with a dedicated server, you can install the game, customize it to your liking, and invite your friends to play. Thanks to full control over your server, you can choose who can play on it and set rules for the gameplay.
To illustrate, you can install various mods to your own Minecraft game server and create stronger Pals on your Palworld dedicated server.
With our Game Panel plans, you don’t have to commit to one game – host multiple games and switch between them anytime.
What are the benefits of hosting my own game server?
Hosting your own game server comes with three crucial benefits for boosting your gaming experience.
- Complete control – customize your settings as you want. This means unique gameplay, the possibility to play with your friends exclusively, and a learning experience since you will manage the server.
- Maximum performance and security – get abundant resources and full root access to the server. As a VPS hosting provider, we also offer automatic backups, DDoS protection, and a user-friendly control panel with all of our Game Panel plans.
- Multiple games – install various games and switch between them as you want.
What are the hardware specifications of the servers, including CPU, RAM, and storage type?
Our game server hosting plans come with AMD EPYC processors and NVMe SSD storage – industry-recognized technology for ensuring a great gaming experience and low latency.
When it comes to resources, they differ depending on the plan. For example, Game Panel 2, starting at $9.49/month, comes with 8 GB RAM and 2 vCPU hardware. Meanwhile, the Game Panel 8 plan has 32 GB RAM and 8 vCPU hardware starting at $27.99/month.
Be sure to check your game requirements before choosing a plan. In addition, explore the full list of supported game servers.
What protection do you offer against potential attacks?
We offer DDoS protection with a built-in firewall to detect malicious files. Should an error occur, you will be able to restore your progress from the latest automatic backup.
Finally, you can enter the Emergency Mode in case of unexpected issues or incidents that might affect your VPS performance or security. The Emergency Mode limits network connectivity, allowing you to isolate and troubleshoot the problem effectively.
Can I change my plan or upgrade my game server hosting later?
Absolutely. Once you need more resources for your game server, go to the Billings section, locate your Game Panel plan, and click Upgrade. For more detailed instructions, refer to our article on how to upgrade your VPS plan.
Note that you won’t experience any downtime during the upgrade.
What kind of support will I get?
As we provide self-managed VPS hosting services, you will get full root access and complete control over your server.
To help you manage it, we offer AI Assistant that can help with server configuration, a vast library of VPS Tutorials, knowledge base articles, and Hostinger Academy videos, as well as a 24/7 Customer Success team that can answer any general questions about our VPS hosting services and Game Panel plans.
Many of these resources apply to other multiplayer game servers, such as Hytale VPS hosting, that run on similar VPS environments.
