Game server on a VPS (Minecraft, CS2, Rust)

Buy a VPS with crypto, open UDP, install the official Minecraft jar or a Valve dedicated server. No KYC. DDoS filtering included.

Published · Updated · NovaVPS Editorial

Short answer

Rent a no-KYC VPS near players, pay with Bitcoin, Monero or USDT, and install the official or vendor server binary. We filter L3/L4; we do not operate the game.

What people actually run

Minecraft: setting up a server is the official Java server. Commercial panels such as Pterodactyl panel wrap the same binaries community hosts already run. Valve games go through Valve SteamCMD: Counter-Strike 2 dedicated servers for Counter-Strike 2, Rust dedicated server for Rust. Apex Hosting, Shockbyte and similar shops sell a managed Minecraft product. If you want to buy a VPS with crypto instead of a card-billed game panel, you install those same binaries on NovaVPS and keep root.
