A gaming server (or game server) is a dedicated machine or virtual environment that runs multiplayer video games, letting players connect, interact, and play together in one shared online world.
A dedicated server in gaming or a game dedicated server is a standalone server that exclusively hosts a game instance, providing better performance, stability, and control compared to player-hosted servers. It runs 24/7 independently, allowing more reliable multiplayer experiences with custom settings, mods, or security.
A dedicated game server is a server commonly used by game developers, game studios, GSPs, communities, and games like Minecraft, ARK, and Rust. Unlike peer-to-peer setups, it runs the game world independently, ensuring stable performance, always-online availability, better responsiveness (as the game is hosted closer to players), and full control over mod configs, settings, player limits, etc.
A dedicated server is a physical machine reserved exclusively for hosting applications or services, such as multiplayer games, websites, or databases. It offers full control over hardware resources, ensuring consistent performance and reliability. In gaming, it enables smoother gameplay, better customization, and improved stability for multiple players.
Our dedicated game servers are based on AMD Ryzen 7700X or AMD EPYC 4564P Zen 4 architecture microprocessor with 4.5GHz single thread performance and accelerated ECC memory, perfect for multiplayer gameplay, modded environments, and game logic-heavy workloads requiring high single-core performance.
To optimize a dedicated game server, use high single-thread CPU performance, low-latency networking, and SSD/NVMe storage for fast asset loading. Configure the server OS for performance by turning off unnecessary services and tuning network settings (e.g., TCP stack).
Game server cost can vary widely depending on several factors, including the game, server specs, number of players, hosting provider, and whether you're using a shared game server, VPS, or dedicated bare metal. Nortonhost' game dedicated server pricing starts from €0.272 / hr and virtual servers from €0.015 / hr.
