A gaming VPS gives you a full server with root access instead of a locked-down game panel — so you can install any game via SteamCMD, run any mods, and tune every setting exactly how you want. It's the flexible route for games without a managed panel, and for anyone who wants total control.
A Nxeon VPS
- Install any game via SteamCMD
- Run any mods
- Tune every setting over SSH
- Full root on your own server
Nxeon VPS plans are built for game hosting: high-clock cores for the many game servers that are single-thread bound, enterprise NVMe (ZFS) for fast world loads, a dedicated IPv4 so players connect directly, always-on DDoS protection, and automatic backups so a wipe never costs you a save.
Every game is different — a small Terraria world is happy on 2 GB while ARK: Survival Ascended and big FiveM RP servers want 16 GB — so pick the plan that matches your title and scale with one-click resize as your community grows.
Built for hosting game servers
High-clock cores
Many game servers are single-thread bound — fast per-core performance keeps them smooth where core count alone can't.
Full root access
Install any game via SteamCMD, run any mods, and tune every config over SSH. It's your box, not a sandbox.
NVMe on ZFS
Enterprise NVMe in a ZFS mirror for fast world loads, quick saves, and self-healing data integrity.
DDoS protection
Always-on volumetric mitigation plus a managed firewall keep your server online when it's targeted.
Automatic backups
Scheduled backups and instant snapshots mean a bad update or wipe never costs you the save.
One-click resize
Scale vCPU, RAM, and disk from the dashboard as your community grows — no rebuild required.

What is a gaming VPS?
A gaming VPS is a virtual private server with full root access that you use to host a dedicated game server. Unlike a fixed game panel, you control the OS, install any game via SteamCMD, tune every setting, and run whatever mods you like — it's your box.
Which games can I host on a gaming VPS?
Effectively any game with a Linux (or Windows-compatible) dedicated server: Palworld, ARK: Survival Ascended, 7 Days to Die, Project Zomboid, V Rising, Enshrouded, Satisfactory, Garry's Mod, FiveM, CS2, and many more. If a game ships a dedicated server, you can run it here.
How much RAM do I need?
It depends entirely on the game. Lighter titles (Terraria, small Valheim worlds) run on 2–4 GB; mid-weight survival games want 8 GB; and the heaviest (ARK: Survival Ascended, Satisfactory, big FiveM RP) want 16 GB or more. Our one-click resize lets you scale as needed.
Why does CPU clock speed matter for game servers?
Many game servers — Minecraft, FiveM, Rust, Palworld — are single-thread bound, meaning one fast core does most of the work. That's why a high per-core clock often matters more than a high core count, and why servers can lag even with lots of unused RAM.
Do I get DDoS protection?
Yes. Every Nxeon VPS includes always-on volumetric DDoS mitigation at the network edge plus a managed firewall, so an attack aimed at a game server is absorbed before it reaches you.
