Which Product is Right for You? A Guide for the Gaming Industry

1. For Game Developers: Power & Flexibility

If you’re building games, you need infrastructure that’s as adaptable as your code. Development environments have to juggle tons of tasks—building, testing, running VMs, and more. That means you need raw power with flexibility to scale as your project grows.

Solution: High-Performance Bare Metal Servers
Our High-Performance Bare Metal Servers give you all the power and customization you need. With dedicated hardware, you don’t have to worry about sharing resources, so everything runs like butter. Plus, with datacenters across the globe, your team can collaborate smoothly from anywhere.

Why it works for game developers:

• No resource sharing, just pure performance
  
• You can tweak the hardware to match your dev needs
• Seamless teamwork with global locations

2. For Game Hosting Platforms: It’s All About Latency

Running a multiplayer game or hosting servers for developers? Latency is your number one enemy. Gamers aren’t going to stick around if there’s lag, so you need to keep it low. That means powerful servers that are located where your players are.

Solution: Low Latency Bare Metal Servers
Our Low Latency Bare Metal Servers are made for real-time gaming. With datacenters in prime spots like Dallas, DC, and Chicago, you can bring the game closer to your players, minimizing ping and keeping gameplay smooth.

Why it works for game hosts:

• Handles high traffic without a hitch
• Servers positioned near major gaming hubs
• Direct ISP connections for the fastest data routes
  

3. For Esports Hosts: Peak Performance, No Compromises

Esports demands perfection. A fraction of a second could change the outcome of a tournament, and you can’t afford any downtime or lag when the pressure’s on. You need servers that perform flawlessly under heavy loads and thousands of simultaneous players.

Solution: Performance Optimized Bare Metal Servers
Our Performance Optimized Bare Metal Servers are built to handle the intensity of esports tournaments. With redundant network and power connections, you’re covered for peak performance, even under the heaviest traffic.

Why it works for esports hosts:

4. For Indie Developers: Budget-Friendly, No Sacrifices

Being an indie developer means working with tight budgets, but you still need solid performance for your games. Shared cloud hosting can cause problems with lag or downtime, but you don’t need to overspend to get reliable servers.

Our Entry-Level Bare Metal Servers are perfect for indie studios. They give you dedicated hardware at an affordable price, so you can run your game smoothly without the headaches of shared resources.

Why it works for indie developers:
