What Is a Gaming VPS?
A gaming VPS (a dedicated gaming VPS server) is a slice of dedicated CPU, RAM and NVMe storage inside a virtualized node — essentially your own managed game server.
Unlike shared game server hosting, resources are ring-fenced, so neighbor projects can’t throttle your TPS or eat disk I/O. In practice that means steadier tick-rates, faster world-saves and full root control for mods, plugins and custom jars.
Benefits of Gaming VPS Hosting
Choosing a gaming VPS server instead of generic game hosting instantly lifts performance and reliability. If you’ve ever watched mobs freeze mid-swing or felt your elytra rubber-band you back to spawn, you already know why a dedicated gaming VPS beats shared game server hosting. A virtual private server guarantees:
- Isolated resources — no throttling when a neighbor’s lobby fills up.
- Root-level freedom to install Paper, Spigot, Forge, or that next-gen mod loader your community keeps begging for.
- Scalable RAM and CPU; simply bump sliders instead of migrating.
- Stable TPS even with redstone machines, chunk loaders, and 50 friends online.
All of this directly improves your community’s gaming experience.
Bottom line: a gaming VPS is the grown-up way to host a game server. Predictable per-GB pricing means you never pay for empty player slots or idle mods.
A built-in REST API lets you snapshot, reboot, or scale a game server straight from your CI pipeline, while private VLANs keep dev worlds isolated from production.
Advanced firewall templates block query floods yet keep Dynmap and voice relay ports open.
Combined, these extras turn a hobby realm into a resilient, professional-grade game server your community trusts every day of the week.
That stability lets you focus on events and community instead of babysitting the game server.
Once you taste the difference, you’ll never go back to budget shared nodes.
Why Choose Godlike Gaming VPS
Among modern VPS hosting services, we built Godlike from the ground up around three pillars — speed, simplicity, and fairness. Every vps game server / gaming VPS server rides on:
- AMD EPYC™ 7003 CPUs turbo-charged up to 3.7 GHz for snappy tick times.
- NVMe SSD arrays hitting 9,000+ IOPS per container; your world saves finish before you blink.
- 1 Gbps+ premium transit over Tier-1 carriers to slice pings on both coasts.
- Automated DDoS mitigation scrubbing attacks up to 10 Tbps.
- Global datacenters in Ashburn, Portland, Amsterdam, Frankfurt, and Singapore — because latency is everything in game vps hosting.
- One-click snapshots and schedules you control, so a risky plugin test never costs you a megabase.
And did we mention we start at $1 per month? No hidden “setup” line items, no sneaky renew-ups, just honest billing that respects indie creators and big studios alike.

These specs mean less CPU contention and consistently smooth gameplay versus legacy game hosting providers.
The FCC’s “Measuring Broadband America” report shows that idle latency above 50 ms already harms real-time games — our median 19 ms keeps you well below that line.(
Each plan runs on the exact same physical hosts, so even Nano outperforms many “premium” rivals. Swap plans any time — no downtime, no migrations, just a restart and you’re live. Scaling up or down never forces a migration or data loss on the game server.
Real-World Benchmarks
- Latency sweep: 19.4 ms average US-East ↔ EU-West using our game server hosting probe.
- Burst test: 0 TPS drops during a 40-player Nether brawl with 120 entities, 16 loaded chunks per player.
- Disk write spike: 250 MB world save written in 3.7 seconds on a full Omega node.
Your creeper farms stay active, redstone contraptions tick on schedule, and players glide through portals without stutter, delivering smooth gameplay.
Snapshots & Instant Rollbacks
Daily snapshots run automatically, and you can hit Snapshot Now before a risky plugin update. Need to undo a grief? Restore any point from the last 90 days in under 60 seconds — no ticket required, right from the panel. Fast restores protect progress and keep the gaming experience uninterrupted.
Worldwide Low-Latency Network
Lag is the silent killer of good communities. To stomp it flat, we planted PoP locations where gamers actually live:
- Ashburn, VA — the beating heart of North-American game servers.
- Portland, OR — west-coast gateway with direct fiber to Asia.
- Amsterdam & Frankfurt — central hubs covering 80 % of Europe in <40 ms.
- Singapore — 30 ms to most of SEA and Oceania.
We layer Anycast DNS and smart routing on top, so every connection hits the nearest realm. Your gaming VPS feels like it’s sitting right next to each player, no matter where they spawn — low latency equals smooth gameplay.
Security & 24/7 Human Support
A cracked client or jealous rival shouldn’t disrupt game hosting or your weekend event. That’s why every game server at Godlike enjoys:
- Enterprise-grade DDoS shield blocking both volumetric floods and crafty layer-7 exploits. According to the 2024 Q4 Cloudflare DDoS Threat Report, attacks peaked at 5.6 Tbps last year. CISA’s joint guidance on DDoS defense — “Understanding and Responding to Distributed Denial-of-Service Attacks” recommends always-on mitigation exactly like ours.
- Firewall presets tuned for TCP 25565, RCON, Dynmap, Bedrock proxies, and custom mod ports.
- Isolated KVM virtualization—no shared kernel, no neighbor exploits.
- Pro-active monitoring; if we detect a spike in CPU or inbound traffic, we open the support ticket for you.
- Live chat staffed by real Minecraft admins and FPS veterans—no copy-paste scripts, just solutions.
- Median ticket response 12 min last quarter.
Sleep well; we’ll guard your diamonds, your plugins, and your reputation.
Popular Games You Can Host on a VPS
Yes, we’re obsessed with blocks — but our game vps hosting platform powers worlds across the spectrum:
- Minecraft — vanilla and modded (Paper/Fabric/Forge) worlds hold a steady 20 TPS; one‑click snapshots and DDoS protection keep progress safe.
- CS:GO & CS2 — low-impact on RAM, benefits hugely from our 3.7 GHz EPYC cores.
- Rust — map wipes are painless on NVMe; blueprints backed up automatically.
- Valheim — 64-player modded realms thrive on Titan with headroom to spare.
- ARK: Survival Ascended — disk-heavy survivor worlds stay quick on our SSD arrays.
- Terraria & Starbound — small footprint servers that still need stable pings.
- Satisfactory — factory megabases love 8 GB RAM plans.
- Palworld — creature AI stays smooth at 25 TPS.
- Project Zomboid — CPU-bound hordes flow on Titan’s 4 cores
- Factorio & Dyson Sphere Program — late-game megabases keep 60-tick simulations with NVMe burst writes.
- Conan Exiles — siege physics and thrall AI love high-clock EPYC cores.
- FiveM (GTA V RP) — dedicated IPv4 plus low-jitter links keep voice and police radar in sync.
- The Forest & Sons of the Forest — co-op lobbies avoid desync when the server holds authoritative state on a VPS.
All benefit from high-clock EPYC cores and NVMe burst writes, so whichever game server you launch feels responsive from day one.
Switching titles is as simple as swapping images in your control panel. One billing portal, limitless possibilities.
How to Choose the Right Gaming VPS Plan
Choosing a virtual private server / gaming VPS server size feels daunting, so we boiled it down:
- Player count: Vanilla Minecraft averages ~150 MB RAM per concurrent player. A Nano handles ~10 friends; Omega stretches to ~25 with light plugins.
- Modpacks: Heavy packs like RLCraft can swallow 4 GB RAM alone—start with Omega or Titan.
- Tick-intensive farms: Chunk loaders + redstone machines love extra vCPU; Titan’s quad cores keep TPS at 20.
- Future growth: Upgrades are instant; many admins start on Nano, test configs, then jump plans the moment their Discord explodes.
Disk budget matters too. If your world saves top 10 GB or you run multiple game servers, slide to 120 GB NVMe instantly — no reinstall. Measure tick delay: when a game server slips below 18 TPS or backup ZIPs grow past 500 MB, it’s time to move from Omega to Titan. A real-world upgrade by “SkyBlockSquad” took 45 s with zero player drop-outs, proving how smoothly a game server scales on Godlike, preserving smooth gameplay.

Getting Started with Your Gaming VPS
Spinning up your server takes less than a minute. No tickets, no waiting in a “pending” queue — just follow the steps below and your world is online almost instantly.
1. Pick a data‑center closest to your players. Lower physical distance = lower ping. (NA guilds usually choose Ashburn; EU factions go Frankfurt/Amsterdam; Oceania communities pick Singapore.)
2. Choose a plan — Nano (testing / small vanilla), Omega (modded SMP or medium community), or Titan (large factions, mini‑game hub). You can upgrade or downgrade later with a single click; storage and IP stay intact.
3. Deploy: select OS (Ubuntu, AlmaLinux) and one‑click Minecraft template (Paper/Spigot/Fabric) or upload a custom jar/modpack. The panel provisions your gaming VPS server with root credentials and a clean dedicated IPv4.
4. Configure plugins, RCON and ports in the Godlike panel: set allocated RAM, schedule automatic backups, open Dynmap/Bedrock proxy ports, create a snapshot before major changes.
5. Invite players & scale — point your domain, watch CPU/RAM graphs, and bump RAM or vCPU instantly if metrics approach 70% load.
That’s it. Your world is live in under a minute, with snapshots and DDoS shield pre‑enabled — start building immediately.
