Game server hosting puts your dedicated game server, the world, the mods and the player slots, on an always-on VPS that your friends connect to directly. RyzenRDP runs them on high-clock AMD Ryzen with a dedicated IPv4 that ends the port-forwarding and CGNAT headache, in 9 locations close to your players.
- High-clock AMD Ryzen for smooth tick rates
- One dedicated IPv4 — no port forwarding
- DDoS protection in every location
What is game server hosting?
Game server hosting runs a dedicated game server, the world, the mods and the player slots, on an always-on machine that your friends connect to over the internet. On RyzenRDP that machine is a full-root VPS on high-clock AMD Ryzen, with one dedicated IPv4 so there is no port forwarding or CGNAT to fight. This hub covers why Ryzen suits game servers, how much RAM each game needs and where to put your server; the order path is Gaming VPS.
Game servers we help you run
Palworld server
A Palworld dedicated server sized for your player count, installed through SteamCMD, with the ports and settings explained.
Valheim server
A Valheim dedicated server for your group, with the right UDP ports open and a setup walkthrough from start to connect.
Why AMD Ryzen is a strong fit for game servers
Most game servers advance their world in a single "tick" loop that runs on one core, so a processor's clock speed matters more than its core count. High-clock AMD Ryzen finishes each tick sooner, which is what keeps movement smooth and lag down as your player count grows. Gen4 NVMe SSD storage keeps world saves and chunk loading from stalling that loop. See Ryzen VPS for the hardware, or Gaming VPS to pick a plan and order. We also offer AMD EPYC RDP as a second CPU family.
How much RAM each game needs
Size for the game, not the sale: an under-provisioned server crashes and frustrates players. These are honest starting tiers; every tier and price is on the pricing page.
| Game | Start at | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Minecraft Java (Paper) | T2 — 4 vCPU, 4 GB RAM and 80 GB Gen4 NVMe SSD | A small vanilla world fits T2; modded packs want T4 or higher (16 GB and up) |
| Palworld | T4 — 6 vCPU, 16 GB RAM and 250 GB Gen4 NVMe SSD | 16 GB is the floor; busy or modded worlds want T5 or T6 |
| Valheim | T2 — 4 vCPU, 4 GB RAM and 80 GB Gen4 NVMe SSD | 4 GB runs a small group; add RAM for larger worlds and more players |
Put your server close to your players
Ping depends on distance, so pick the location nearest most of your players: Dallas or New York for North America, Los Angeles for the US West Coast, Germany or the UK for Europe, and Singapore for Asia and Oceania. See every option on the locations page.
Every server comes with one dedicated IPv4 address, the detail the self-hosting guides gloss over.
With your own public IP there is no port forwarding to set up and no CGNAT to work around: you open
the game's port in the firewall and share your-ip:port with your players.
DDoS protection in every location
DDoS protection is included in every one of our 9 locations. Game servers draw attacks, so mitigation runs everywhere we host at no extra cost, not as a separate add-on you have to order.
How ordering works
This hub is the guide; the order path is Gaming VPS, where you pick a location, a tier and a plan on AMD Ryzen. What you get is a full-root (Linux) or Administrator (Windows) VPS, not a managed one-click game panel, so you control every file and any legitimate server build, loader or mod works. Linux is live (Ubuntu 24.04 or 22.04, Debian 12, AlmaLinux 9.6), and most game servers run well on it through SteamCMD and systemd; a few titles ship a Windows-only server binary and run on a Windows VPS instead. Your VPS is provisioned within minutes; compare every tier and price on the pricing page.
Game server hosting FAQ
What is game server hosting?
Running a dedicated game server, the world, mods and player slots, on an always-on machine your friends connect to over the internet. On RyzenRDP that is a full-root VPS on high-clock AMD Ryzen with a dedicated IPv4, so you host the game rather than play it on the server.
Which games can I host on RyzenRDP?
Do I need Windows or Linux for a game server?
Most game servers run well on Linux (Ubuntu 24.04 or 22.04, Debian 12, AlmaLinux 9.6) through SteamCMD and systemd, and Linux is live to order. Some titles ship only a Windows server binary and run on a Windows VPS instead; each game's guide says which it is.
Why is AMD Ryzen good for game servers?
Game servers usually advance the world in a single-core "tick" loop, so high clock speed matters more than core count. AMD Ryzen's high clocks finish each tick sooner, keeping gameplay smooth as players join. Ryzen VPS covers the hardware.
How much RAM does a game server need?
It depends on the game, player count and mods. As a guide: Valheim and a small vanilla Minecraft world start at T2 (4 vCPU, 4 GB RAM and 80 GB Gen4 NVMe SSD); Palworld needs 16 GB, so start at T4 (6 vCPU, 16 GB RAM and 250 GB Gen4 NVMe SSD); and heavily modded servers want T4 or higher. Leave headroom rather than under-spec.
Do you provide DDoS protection?
Yes. DDoS protection is included in every one of our 9 locations at no extra cost, so you do not order it separately.
Do I need to set up port forwarding?
No. Every server has its own dedicated IPv4 address, so there is no port forwarding and no CGNAT to work around. You open the game's port in the firewall and share your IP and port with your players.
Can you install the game server for me?
You set the server up yourself on your VPS, and our per-game guides walk through SteamCMD, the config files, ports and connecting. You get full root (Linux) or Administrator (Windows), so every file is yours to change.
