More about our servers

Why choose PingPerfect for your game server hosting?

Want to host your own server? Here's what every PingPerfect game server comes with:


AUTOMATIC SERVER SETUP

Setup starts automatically the moment your order is paid. Small games are ready in under a minute; big games with large downloads can take 10 minutes or more. Your Game Panel login and server details are emailed to you as soon as it's done.

HIGH PERFORMANCE HARDWARE

Ryzen and EPYC CPUs at 4.5 GHz on our Normal hardware, or 5.0 GHz+ on Extreme. Most game servers run their world on one main thread, so we choose CPUs for single-core speed. DDR5 RAM, picked for stability as well as speed, because a server that stays online matters more than a benchmark.

24/7 EXPERT SUPPORT

Real technicians, 24/7/365, with a typical ticket response under 10 minutes. There are limits, as with anything, but there's very little we can't help you do with your game server.

20 WORLDWIDE LOCATIONS

20 locations across North America, Europe, Asia, Oceania, South America and Africa, including London, New York, St. Louis, Sydney, Singapore, São Paulo and Johannesburg. We pick data centres with networks suited to game traffic, so you can host close to your players for a lower ping.

FREE WEBHOSTING

We include free web hosting with all of our game servers, giving you a dedicated space to build and grow your community. Whether you want to share gameplay clips, post updates and announcements, host forums, or showcase content related to your server, you’ll have the flexibility to use your website however you need. It’s an easy way to centralize information, engage your players, and extend your server’s presence beyond the game itself.

GAME SWITCHING

We provide a simple and intuitive game server switching service, allowing you to change the game your server is hosting at any time. This eliminates the hassle of canceling your current server and placing a new order, saving you both time and effort. With this feature, you can experiment with different games or adapt to your community’s preferences without any interruptions or extra steps.

DISASTER RECOVERY SYSTEM

Every game server is backed up offsite every night at 4AM (local server time). If a save ever ends up corrupt, which sadly isn't rare with some games, we can restore it from the last nightly backup quickly.

DDOS PROTECTION

DDoS attacks are a pain, and can entirely ruin the game server hosting experience. That's why we have high-capacity DDoS mitigation available for all game servers. It is constantly evolving, making sure that all new attack vectors are identified and fought against effectively.

EASY TO USE GAMEPANEL

Our Gamepanel is fast, user-friendly, and most of all, customised to provide helpful functions that make game server hosting enjoyable. Things like "Backup", "Restore" and "Wipe" Save Data scripts, automated updates, automated mod updates, automated plugin updates and many more.

What is a Game Server & How Does Hosting Work?

Understanding the foundation of modern multiplayer gaming infrastructure


A game server is the core infrastructure behind any multiplayer gaming experience. Unlike a typical home PC, it is a purpose-built, high-performance computing system designed specifically to run game logic continuously and reliably. It handles all real-time simulation tasks including player movement, physics calculations, world state updates, collision detection, inventory management, and hit registration. Every action a player takes is processed, validated, and synchronized through the server to ensure consistency across all connected clients. In practical terms, the game server acts as the authoritative source of truth—ensuring that every player sees the same events in the same order, with minimal delay and maximum fairness.

Why Renting a Dedicated Host Beats Local Hosting...
While some games allow peer-to-peer or locally hosted multiplayer (where one player's machine acts as the server), this approach introduces performance limitations, instability, and security risks. Professional game server hosting eliminates these issues by running your game on dedicated infrastructure built specifically for continuous uptime, low latency networking, and scalable performance. There are three major advantages to using a dedicated game server provider:

24/7 Availability: When you rent from PingPerfect, your game world is hosted on always-on infrastructure designed for continuous operation. There is no need for downtime or manual restarts, ensuring your server is available at all times.
Superior Network Performance: Data centre networks provide low-latency routing, high bandwidth capacity, and stable connectivity. This reduces lag, packet loss, and synchronization issues common in home-hosted environments.
Enterprise DDoS Protection: Our infrastructure includes advanced protection systems that mitigate malicious traffic and attacks, keeping your server online and secure without exposing your personal network.

The PingPerfect Hardware Advantage

Most games rely heavily on single-thread CPU performance, meaning clock speed matters more than core count. Unlike budget hosting providers, PingPerfect uses high-frequency AMD Ryzen and EPYC processors optimized for real-time game workloads.

Combined with DDR5 memory and NVMe storage, our infrastructure ensures fast tick rates and consistent performance even under heavy load. Whether vanilla or heavily modded, servers remain stable and responsive.

Full Control and Automatic Setup...
Beyond performance, modern hosting should be simple and accessible. Our Game Panel gives you full control with minimal effort:

Automatic Setup: Your server installs as soon as your order is paid. Small games are ready in under a minute; big games with large downloads can take 10 minutes or more.
One-Click Mod Installations: Install and manage mods or plugins without manual file editing.
Global Reach: Deploy across 20 worldwide locations to ensure the lowest possible latency for your players.

★★★★★

The service has been very stable, and the response by support people, when I've had issues (not necessarily on their end😉), is always very fast... within minutes. They've been extremely helpful in standing up my multiple server cluster and tracking down problems I've had stemming from my lack of understanding of the intricacies of the gaming system.

★★★★★

I have rented servers from a few different companies and PingPerfect has the best support. I have a knack for messing up my server and they always get it running quickly.

FAQ

Game Server Hosting Questions

What is game server hosting?

Game server hosting means renting a server in a data centre that runs your game's multiplayer world around the clock, so your friends or community can join whenever they like without your own PC staying on. You run it from our Game Panel: start and stop it, change settings, install mods and restore backups.

How much does a game server cost?

It depends on the game and on the player slots, RAM and hardware you choose. Plans start from $9.99/month, and each game's page shows its own live prices, plus a Custom option to build your own. Every plan has a 48-hour money-back guarantee.

How long does it take to set up a server?

Setup starts automatically as soon as your order is paid. Small games are ready in under a minute; big games with large downloads can take 10 minutes or more. We email your Game Panel login and server details as soon as it's ready.

Can I try a game server for free?

Yes. Most game servers have a 48-hour free trial: use the Free 48-Hour Trial button on the game's page. A trial server is set up exactly like a paid one. Free trials aren't available for VPS or dedicated servers.

Where are your servers?

In 20 locations on six continents, including London, New York, St. Louis, Sydney, Singapore, São Paulo and Johannesburg. Pick the one closest to most of your players for the lowest ping; our locations page has a ping tester.

What hardware do your game servers run on?

Ryzen and EPYC CPUs with DDR5 RAM and NVMe SSD storage. Normal hardware runs at 4.5 GHz and suits most servers; Extreme hardware runs at 5.0 GHz+ for big, busy or heavily modded servers. You choose when you order.

Can I switch my server to a different game?

Yes. Game switching moves your server to another game without cancelling and placing a new order.

Can I install mods?

Yes, for games that support them. Many games have one-click mod and plugin installs in our Game Panel, and each game's page explains what's supported.

How quickly does support reply?

Support runs 24/7/365 by ticket, with a typical response under 10 minutes. There are also 1,500+ articles in our knowledgebase.
