Frequently Asked Questions
What Is a Game Server VPS?
A game server VPS is a virtual server where you install and run dedicated servers for games like Minecraft, Valheim, Terraria or Rust. You control the version, mods, plugins, whitelist and backups.
Why Not a Game Hosting Panel?
Game hosts lock you into one game and their panel. A VPS lets you run several games, a Discord bot and a website on one server, with full control over every setting.
How Much RAM Does a Minecraft Server Need?
2–4 GB for a small vanilla or Paper server with friends; 6–8 GB or more for modpacks or larger communities.
Which Location Is Best?
The one closest to most of your players. Ping the test IPs on our USA, Hong Kong and Japan VPS pages to compare.
Can I Run Windows-Only Game Servers?
Yes. Install Windows Server on any plan with 60 GB+ storage.
Is DDoS Protection Included?
No. VPS plans don’t include DDoS protection. For public servers that may attract attacks, consider a dedicated server with DDoS protection.
Can I Upgrade My Plan Later?
Yes. Open a support ticket and we’ll move your VPS to a larger plan when you need more CPU, RAM or storage.
Is There a Money-Back Guarantee?
Yes. If you’re not happy within the first 7 days, ask for a refund — no questions asked. The refund is available once per customer for each data center location. Accounts registered from the same IP address or paying with the same payment method count as the same customer. Payment fees are deducted as described in our Refund Policy.
