Thread: VPS Game Server

  1. #1

    VPS Game Server

    Hello All,

    I plan to buy a low or mid VPS plan for hosting a game server. Low ping and high uptime are prime requirements. Initial commitment of upto 6months with a budget of around 1200 INR per month (approx USD 20). Tech requirements are as follows:
    • 512MB or 1GB Guaranteed RAM
    • 500+ GB Monthly Transfer
    • 100Mbps Port
    • Datacenter anywhere in India (<90ms ping for Indian players).

    Currently looking at (can't link due to low post count):
    VR1G-IN plan from HostVirtual
    UVPS-1 plan from LeapSwitch

    Any feedback about these plans? Any further recommendations?

    Thanks,
    ~ Myth

    I'd personally try to get a bit more RAM. Check out BuyVM. I've used them for a test VPS, liked them a lot. They're very popular here, and Francisco keeps a very active profile. I think you'll like their services.

    You also can't go wrong with RocketVPS (that is the KnownHost unmanaged brand). Best of luck to your gameserver business

    Alan,
    He wants a datacenter in India, while BuyVM and Knownhost/RocketVPS do not offer anything in India.

    Hello,
    if you want vps for games, try on server4you.com or contabo.com this are two good providers.
    Good Look!

    @AcclaimedHost Alan No problem, those two look like solid hosts. I'll keep them in mind for future needs
    Anyhow since there seem to be not many VPS hosts with servers in India, I'm fine with other locations in Asia as long as the Ping is low.

    Offtopic, but I can't seem to edit the main post at all... I'd have added the comment above to main post as well... :-/

    @CobraHost: thank you for the suggestions.
    Contabo seems to be a Germany based host according to their "About Us" page and from what I could gather server4you is also Europe based. Will check the ping and see if they are suitable.

    Any one have idea/review on VPS-1 plan from loopbyte.com?
    They seem to be a bit low on the bandwidth side for my needs, but maybe they have packs or plans for that

    NOTE: Server4you only provide a maximum of 4 IP's - Contabo can allocate more IP's to your node.

    I have used Server4you and while they did have decent support, they didn't offer virtualization - their words. I did look at Contabo, but i opted for OVH.

    Also - If you somehow forget your username with Server4you - they require you to write to them to gain access to your server control panel.

    If you need 4 IP's or less they could be a good place for you.

    I'm ok with just 1 IP for now... don't see the need for mutliple IPs yet. But thanks for the info.

    What provider is OVH? Could you perhaps share a link to them??

    Ah I see... I had better keep the login info safe irrespective of the host I go for

    Updating the thread, slight change in requirements.

    I'm OK with a non-India based host also as long as a good ping (<200ms) to India and acceptance of Indian Debit Cards/Netbanking for payment (don't have one of them "international debit cards" yet).

    Thanks,
    Myth
