Host your own game servers on a fast, private machine with dedicated resources and full root access — then pay in crypto with no card and no account signup.
A game server VPS gives you a dedicated slice of a server that you control end to end — perfect for running Minecraft, Valheim, Counter-Strike 2, Rust, ARK and just about any other dedicated game server. Unlike a locked-down game panel, a VPS hands you full root access, real dedicated CPU and RAM, and the freedom to install the exact game, mods and tools your community wants. Because every plan uses truly dedicated resources with no overselling, your tick rate stays steady even when the lobby is full.
Budget game hosts pack hundreds of servers onto shared hardware. When a neighbour spikes, your players feel it — lag, rubber-banding and dropped ticks. A game VPS avoids that entirely. On ApexVPS every plan ships with truly dedicated vCPU cores and dedicated RAM, so the performance you pay for is the performance you get. No noisy neighbours, no surprise throttling.
Dedicated CPU cores and NVMe storage keep world simulation smooth — no shared-core stutter mid-raid.
Install any game, mod loader, plugin or container. It is your machine — configure it exactly how you like.
Built-in DDoS mitigation and 24/7 monitoring help keep your server online when someone tries to knock it down.
For real-time games, latency is everything. The closer your server sits to your players, the lower the ping and the snappier the gameplay. ApexVPS runs 39 locations across 18 privacy jurisdictions and 21 standard regions, with low latency in major regions. Deploy in Frankfurt for a European community, New York or Miami for the US East Coast, Los Angeles for the West Coast, or Singapore, Tokyo and Sydney for the Asia-Pacific crowd — among many other locations including London, Amsterdam, Dubai and Sao Paulo.
Hosting a mixed international group? Choose the region closest to the majority of your players, or run a couple of regional servers so everyone gets a fair connection.
Because you get complete root control, you are not limited to a preset menu of games. Spin up a Java or Bedrock Minecraft world, a Valheim dedicated server for your Viking crew, a Rust or ARK cluster, a CS2 match server, Terraria, Palworld, Satisfactory — if it has a Linux or Windows dedicated server binary, it runs here. Choose from Ubuntu, Debian, CentOS, Rocky, Windows Server or a custom ISO at deploy time.
Prefer clean, repeatable setups? Package each game server as a container — many admins run their game servers with Docker so they can update, restart and back up worlds independently. With full root you are free to use whatever tooling fits your workflow.
For most game servers, RAM is the resource that matters most — especially for Minecraft, where each loaded chunk, mod and player adds to memory use. CPU single-thread performance drives the tick rate, while NVMe storage keeps world saves and chunk loading fast. As a rough rule of thumb, small vanilla worlds are comfortable on a smaller plan, while bigger worlds, heavier modpacks and larger player counts benefit from stepping up to Business or Enterprise. Your exact needs depend on the game, mods and how many people play at once, so treat the table below as general guidance rather than a hard limit.
| Game / workload | Typical use | Good starting point |
|---|---|---|
| Minecraft — vanilla, small group | A handful of friends, light plugins | Starter Pro |
| Minecraft — modpacks / bigger world | More players, heavier mods, larger map | Business or Enterprise |
| Valheim / small co-op | Small dedicated crew | Starter Pro or Business |
| Rust / ARK / larger survival | Bigger populations, persistent maps | Business or Enterprise |
| CS2 / match servers | Competitive lobbies | Starter Pro or Business |
