A curated selection: Hosting for games budget in Europe. We picked providers matching these criteria and sorted them by rating, uptime and real reviews.
What matters about this combination of criteria: Game servers need low latency and UDP DDoS protection. Budget plans suit small projects with no overpaying. European sites combine low latency to UA with GDPR compliance.
Bottom line: for most projects in Ukraine the ideal VPS means NVMe storage, 99.9%+ uptime, a convenient panel and support in your language. Start with the ranking leaders above and compare them side by side.

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.
A low price isn't always bad. For a blog or landing page, a budget server (1–2 GB RAM, NVMe) is plenty. The key is to check uptime and support availability, not just price.
Low cost comes from the location (cheaper data centre rent), denser client packing or the absence of managed services. That's fine for small projects, but verify the virtualization type.
European data centres combine solid infrastructure, GDPR compliance and low latency to a Ukrainian audience (25–40 ms). It's the optimal balance of price, speed and stability.
Germany (Frankfurt) is Europe's largest internet hub with the best infrastructure. The Netherlands offers permissive law and proximity to UA. Poland is the cheapest option with low latency.
