Why bare metal

Why use a dedicated server for gaming?

Most game servers depend on single-core speed. A dedicated game server with a high-clock Ryzen CPU keeps tick rates stable when your server is full, something shared game hosting and small VPS plans struggle with.

Pick a location close to your players in Europe or North America for the lowest ping.

  • High single-core speed for stable tick rates
  • DDoS protection against attacks on your server
  • NVMe storage for fast world loading
  • GPU servers for streaming and cloud gaming
Use cases

What can you run on a gaming dedicated server?

Minecraft networks

Paper, Spigot and BungeeCord networks with hundreds of players.

Rust & ARK

Large maps and heavy mods without lag.

Buying guide

How to choose the right game server

Five questions to answer before you order. Not sure? Our engineers will size it for you for free.

1

CPU: cores or clock speed?

High-clock AMD Ryzen and Intel Core CPUs suit game servers, single-threaded apps and busy WordPress sites. Many-core AMD EPYC and Intel Xeon CPUs suit virtualisation, databases and heavy parallel workloads.

2

How much RAM?

32–64 GB is enough for most websites and game servers. Choose 128 GB+ for large databases, virtual machines, caching layers and analytics.

3

NVMe, SSD or HDD storage?

NVMe is the fastest for databases and apps. SATA/HDD gives the lowest cost per terabyte for backups, media and archives. Use RAID 1 or RAID 10 for redundancy.

4

Bandwidth and port speed

1 Gbps unmetered suits most sites. Choose 3–10 Gbps ports for streaming, downloads, CDNs and high-traffic platforms.

5

Location and management

Host close to your users for the lowest latency, and choose managed support if you don't have an in-house sysadmin.

Glossary

Dedicated server terms explained

Bare metal
A physical server used by a single customer, with no virtualisation layer between you and the hardware.
IPMI / KVM
Out-of-band remote console that lets you reboot, reinstall and troubleshoot the server even when the OS is offline.
Unmetered bandwidth
Your traffic is not counted or billed per GB; you can use the full port speed around the clock.
NVMe
Storage that connects directly over PCIe, delivering many times the speed of SATA SSDs.
ECC RAM
Error-correcting memory that detects and fixes data corruption, used in enterprise servers.
RAID
Combining several drives for speed (RAID 0), redundancy (RAID 1) or both (RAID 10).
FAQ

Gaming Dedicated Servers: frequently asked questions

Quick answers about hosting game servers on bare metal.

Still have a question?

Our hosting engineers are online 24/7 and usually reply within minutes.

01Which CPU is best for a game server?

High-clock AMD Ryzen CPUs such as the 5950X and 7950X are ideal because most games rely on fast single-core performance.

02How much RAM do I need for a Minecraft server?

A modded or large Minecraft network typically needs 16–32 GB. Our gaming servers start at 32 GB or more, so you can host several servers on one machine.

03Can I use Pterodactyl or other game panels?

Yes. With full root access you can install Pterodactyl, AMP, TCAdmin or any other game panel.

04How long does it take to get my dedicated server?

Most in-stock servers are delivered within 1 to 24 hours of payment. You receive the IP address, root password and IPMI/KVM details by email.

05Is DDoS protection included?

Yes. Every HostFinch dedicated server includes network-level DDoS protection at no extra cost.

06Can I install my own operating system?

Yes. We install Ubuntu, Debian, AlmaLinux, Rocky Linux, Proxmox or Windows Server for free, and you can reinstall any OS yourself through the IPMI/KVM console.
