Default Game Servers

Do you allow for games to be hosting by your clients? I know some guildies of mine are talking about trying to set one up and I would rather just pay for it than fight with it being run from someones house.

Yes, it's definitely possible to host game servers on our server hosting packages. However, we do not provide game control panel along with the server. Our best suggestion would be to opt for TCadmin which can only be installed on windows web servers.

Hi,
It is always better to have the game hosted onto a server than on a house computer. The server provided by the web host offers multiple resources, that can make games run much better than that on a local machine.

Well Matt, so is it possible for me to opt for your VPS in order to run a game server?

Hello,

It's definitely possible to opt for our VPS Hosting package in order to run a game server. However, if you have more no. of game server users, in that case i will definitely suggest a basic dedicated server configuration as the resources are not shared with other clients even though the isolation is maintained in a VPS Hosting Environment.

Regards,

Shane Phillips

It is highly recommended that you go for a Dedicated server if you wish to have a Game server. As Game server requires high resources and also the Dedicated server will only be Dedicated to you which is yet another benefit.

All the hot favorites of the gaming market like COD 4, COD 5, GTA IV, e.t.c. requires very high resources on local machine and so as they require high resources on the server.

VPS is low on resources and you can't run these HOT favorites.
