VPS Gaming – VPS Hosting for Game Servers | OVHcloud

With a VPS, you get root access to your server — so you are free to configure it and adapt it to your needs.

To get the most out of your VPS, install the operating system you want your environment to be based on. Choose the option that suits you best, between a Windows server and a Linux server.

Although both operating systems are adapted for building a video game server, Linux offers major advantages. This operating system is open-source — and since it is free, so you won’t need to pay any additional fees for a licence while you rent your VPS. It also benefits from a large community, as well as very detailed documentation for uses such as creating a video game server.

Another asset that is particularly valuable for gaming is how light and well-optimised Linux is. This means you get improved performance and more resources available to you, so that your game can run smoothly. To make it easier to launch your Linux or Windows VPS, we offer a range of pre-installed operating systems.
