    Just get a typical 150/mo e3 based server with 16gb-32gb of ram, ssds and a gigabit port.

    Also possibly with DDOS protection to safeguard your servers. Game server customer tends to attract more ddos.

    E3's are the best way to go by far!

    I think DDOS protection is a must for GSPs... they seem to attract these sort of attacks!

    Unfortunately, real and reliable protection is insanely expensive. It's a lot easier to manage when you colocate... but not many GSPs do that or even consider it.
