With so many hosting options available, picking the right plan can feel overwhelming. This guide breaks down each type of hosting we offer and helps you figure out which one fits your needs — and your budget.
Overview of hosting types
| Type | Best for | Root access |
|---|---|---|
| Game server | Minecraft, FiveM, Rust communities | No |
| VPS | Custom setups, multiple services | Yes |
| Discord bot | 24/7 bot hosting | No |
Game server hosting
Game server hosting is the fastest way to get a specific game running. Everything is pre-configured — you just click Start.
Choose game server hosting if:
- You want to run Minecraft, FiveM, or Rust without any Linux knowledge
- You want a managed environment with an easy-to-use panel
- You need automatic backups, scheduled restarts, and one-click server software switching
Choosing the right RAM
RAM is the most important spec for game servers:
| Player count | Recommended RAM |
|---|---|
| 1–10 players | 2–4 GB |
| 10–30 players | 4–8 GB |
| 30–60 players | 8–12 GB |
| 60+ players or heavy mods | 12–16 GB+ |
Minecraft modpacks need more RAM than vanilla or plugin servers. A typical Feed the Beast modpack requires at least 6–8 GB.
FiveM with many resources loaded can use 4–8 GB depending on your script count.
VPS hosting
A VPS (Virtual Private Server) gives you a full Linux virtual machine with root access. You install and configure everything yourself.
Choose VPS hosting if:
- You need to run multiple services on one machine (e.g. a web server + database + bot)
- You want to install software that isn't available in the game panel
- You are comfortable with the command line and Linux administration
- You want to host a website, API, or custom application
How much RAM do I need for a VPS?
| Use case | Recommended RAM |
|---|---|
| Small website (WordPress) | 1–2 GB |
| Web app + database | 2–4 GB |
| Multiple game servers | 8–16 GB |
| Development / staging server | 2–4 GB |
Discord bot hosting
Bot hosting is the simplest option — upload your code, set your environment variables, and your bot runs 24/7 on our infrastructure.
Choose bot hosting if:
- You have a Node.js, Python, or other language bot ready to deploy
- You don't want to manage a full server just to keep a bot online
- You want an affordable option (bot hosting is the cheapest plan we offer)
Supported runtimes
We support any language your bot is written in — Node.js, Python, Go, Java, and more — through the game panel's flexible egg system.

Still not sure?
If you're between options, here's a simple decision tree:
Do you just want to play with friends on Minecraft / FiveM / Rust?
→ Game server hostingDo you need root access or run services not in our game catalogue?
→ VPSDo you only need to host a Discord bot?
→ Bot hostingDo you want to host both a game server and a website?
→ VPS (most flexible) or a game server plan + web hosting plan
