DDoS-Protected VPS for Game Servers — Minecraft, CS2, Rust

What a game server needs beyond specs: tick rate, slot math, attack reality on public IPs, and how to place a community so it survives both growth and griefers.

Sizing by game

• Minecraft: RAM-hungry — 8 GB minimum for a modded community; Business VPS is the usual floor, Pro for big modpacks.
• CS2: tick-rate bound — a strong single-thread clock matters more than core count (EPYC 9454P on Pro/Max).
• Rust: memory and disk I/O — 16 GB+ and NVMe, which every plan has.

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.
