The attack reality

Public game servers get hit — by rivals, by bots scanning ranges, by “free booter” users. Included L3/L4 filtering absorbs the volumetric part; application-level abuse (vote spam, chat floods) is plugin territory. This is why the DDoS story must be included at the platform, not a per-IP upsell.

Placement

Pick by player geography, not by price: Dallas for US Central, Tokyo for JP/KR, Frankfurt for EU, Sao Paulo for BR. Thirteen locations at one SKU price mean moving a community closer to its players is a re-deploy, not a renegotiation.

Are game servers allowed?

Yes — game processes are a listed workload; DDoS filtering is included.

How many players fit on a VPS?

Small communities: dozens per plan on Business/Pro. The limits are tick stability and bandwidth, both visible in your monitoring.

Do I get root for server modding?

Yes — full root on every VPS; custom JVMs, panel software and plugins are your call.

Ready to launch?

Configure a VPS or dedicated server, set a password, then pay the invoice.
