What you get
What comes with a Gaming Deluxe VPS
The plans differ in size, not in features. Whichever one you pick, this is part of it.
NVMe SSD storage
NVMe drives read and write far quicker than SATA SSDs or hard disks. In practice that means faster boots, shorter map loading for game servers and snappier database queries for websites.
Automated setup
Once your order is paid, the VPS is built for you with the operating system you picked. Your login details are sent to you, so you can connect and start installing straight away.
Windows VPS
Pick Windows Server and you get a full desktop over Remote Desktop, with administrator rights. Handy for game servers that only ship a Windows build, or for tools you already know from your own PC.
Linux VPS
Prefer the command line? Choose a Linux distribution such as Ubuntu or Debian and log in over SSH as root. Linux leaves more of the memory for your own software, which makes it a good fit for the smaller plans.
Console in your browser
Locked yourself out with a firewall rule or a broken network setting? The console shows the server's own screen in your browser, so you can log in and put it right without SSH or Remote Desktop.
Self-service control panel
Start, stop and restart the VPS, reinstall the operating system or set a new root password yourself. No ticket needed, and no waiting for somebody else to press the button.
Operating systems
Windows or Linux: your call
You choose the operating system when you order. Not sure which one suits you? Here is how the usual choices compare.
Ubuntu
The most widely used server Linux. Most game server guides and web tutorials are written for it, which makes it the easy pick if this is your first server.
Debian
Lean and steady, with long gaps between big changes. A solid base for services you want to set up once and then leave alone.
Windows Server
The familiar Windows desktop over Remote Desktop. Go for it when your software only runs on Windows, or when you would rather click than type commands.
Looking for a different Linux distribution or one particular release? Ask our support team before you order and they will tell you what is available.
Sizing guide
How much VPS do you need?
Memory is usually the first thing to run out, so start there. Treat these as rough guides, and ask us if you are unsure.
4 GB of memory
Enough for a personal website or blog, a Discord bot, a small voice server or a lightweight game server for a few friends on Linux. Windows itself takes a good share of 4 GB, so go one size up if you want a Windows desktop.
8 GB of memory
The comfortable middle. Room for a modded Minecraft server or a survival world for a small community, a busier website with its database, or a Windows VPS with space left for your own programs.
16 GB of memory
For heavier game servers with lots of mods or bigger maps, several smaller servers side by side, or a group of websites and services that share one machine.
32 GB of memory
For large communities, clusters of game servers, big databases, or build and test machines that want many cores and plenty of disk at the same time.

Use cases
What you can run on a VPS
A VPS is a blank server that does whatever you install on it. These are the jobs people most often rent one for.
Game servers
Host games that have no ready-made package, run several small servers on one machine or build a fully custom setup with your own scripts and mods.
Websites and apps
Run your own web server, database and mail tools exactly the way you want them, without the limits of shared hosting.
Voice and community tools
Keep a TeamSpeak or Mumble server, your Discord bots and a community website online around the clock.
Development and testing
Try out new software, run build jobs or keep a staging copy of a project on a machine you can wipe and reinstall whenever you like.
Only want to play, with a control panel and no admin work? Our managed game servers are ready to use out of the box.

FAQ
VPS server questions, answered
The things people ask us most before they order a VPS.
What is a VPS server?
A VPS (virtual private server) is your own server running inside a larger physical machine. It has its own operating system, its own share of CPU cores, memory and disk, and its own login, so you can install and configure it like a dedicated machine for a much lower monthly price.
How long does setup take?
Setup is automated and starts as soon as your order is paid. When the VPS is ready you get an email with its address and login details. If nothing has arrived after a while, open a ticket and we will check it for you.
Can I run Windows on my VPS?
Yes. Choose Windows Server when you order and connect with Remote Desktop from a PC, a Mac or a phone. Windows needs more memory than Linux, so we suggest a plan with at least 8 GB for it.
Which Linux distributions can I install?
Ubuntu and Debian are the usual choices and cover almost every guide you will find online. If you need another distribution or a particular release, ask support before ordering.
Do I get root or administrator access?
You do. On Linux you log in as root over SSH, on Windows as Administrator over Remote Desktop. Nothing is locked down: you decide which software, ports and users the server has.
Is DDoS protection included?
Yes. Every plan has a 1GB network port behind our DDoS protection, with nothing extra to pay. Attack traffic is filtered before it reaches your VPS, while normal visitors and players stay connected.
Can I host game servers on a VPS?
Yes, and it is one of the most common reasons to rent one. A VPS suits games without a ready-made hosting package, several small servers on one machine and setups that need custom scripts. If you would rather have a control panel, mod installers and no admin work, a managed game server is the simpler choice.
Is the VPS managed for me?
A VPS is self-managed: you install, update and secure the software on it. We look after the physical host, the power and the network, and our support team helps with anything on our side.
Can I move to a bigger plan later?
Get in touch with support when you start running short of memory, cores or disk. We will go through the options for moving up a size with you.
How do billing and cancelling work?
Plans are billed monthly and there is no minimum term. You can pay by card, PayPal, bank transfer or cryptocurrency, your invoices are in the client area, and you can cancel there whenever you want.
