Frequently asked questions
The key factors are low latency to players, DDoS protection and enough RAM. Minecraft for 10 players — 2–4 GB; CS2 or Rust — 4–8 GB. A high-clock CPU matters more than core count.
Good providers include network protection (L3/L4) in the plan. For games, UDP protection is critical since most game traffic uses UDP. Confirm this before ordering.
On a VPS with root access — yes, you can install Pterodactyl, Multicraft or other game-server panels. On dedicated game hosting, a panel is often already included.
A 10–20 player server runs $5–10/mo (2–4 GB RAM). A large modded project with 50+ players — $20–40/mo. Pay attention to CPU type and DDoS protection.
