Suppose you’re looking to host your game server finally. In that case, you should know that you can choose from different types of video game hosting services depending on your needs. Read on and discover which style suits your gaming needs best.

Dedicated Server

With a dedicated server, you wouldn’t need to buy the latest (and most expensive) hardware to play a game with your friends online. You’ll have access to a remote server managed by a hosting provider from your home. These companies invest in top-of-the-line hardware like NVMe SSDs, 13th Gen processors, high-functionality motherboards, powerful OS, and tons of storage to run their servers.

After renting a dedicated server from video game hosting providers, all left to do is play. You’ll have access to a control panel that will help you manage the game as the server owner, but most of the heavy tasks will be accomplished by your provider. Most providers offer automatic updates, daily backups, mod installations, and other features in their server packages that will make hosting more accessible for you.

Shared Gaming Servers

Shared game servers are one of the most common hosting solutions among gamers. They are cheaper compared to dedicated servers. You’ll use one server’s resources with other game hosts when renting a shared gaming server. This means that data storage, CPU processing resources, memory, and disk space will be divided among the number of server users.

Virtual Private Server (VPS)

VPS game servers are servers that multiple users share. But this does not mean you’ll have to scavenge for resources like storage and processing power. When you rent a VPS server, you’ll have a set limit of resources, and so will other users. Unlike dedicated servers, where you’ll have the whole server to yourself, a VPS server will limit you to a decent amount of resources. Sometimes, you can borrow resources from other users if you’ve maxed out yours and they’re not using all of theirs. This depends on your service provider’s policies.

It’s also different from a shared server. A VPS server is more advanced than a shared server since it gives users root-level access to virtual containers. This game server hosting solution is best for small servers that don’t need that many resources.

Conclusion

Suppose you know your game server hosting needs. In that case, you’ll be able to determine which server hosting solution is for you—planning to expand your gaming community in just a few months or a year?

Renting a dedicated server is the way to go, especially with demanding games like ARMA 3. Now, a VPS gaming server will do if you plan to play with a small group of friends. Renting a VPS server allows you to set a smaller resource limit, just enough for you and your friends. You’ll also be able to save a lot of money compared to getting a fully dedicated game server.

If you plan to open a gaming server as a beginner, starting with a shared game server is probably the best route. You can always migrate to a dedicated server in the future.

It’s important to note that the quality of your hosting experience will depend on your server hosting provider. Make sure that you rent a server from a provider with good customer reviews. You can always find good resources online on which game server hosting provider to use.
