  • PayPal

  Do you want to pay trough not listed channel? Ask our Sales to find out is it possible to organize it for you

• How do I select hosting for my server?

  First matter to consider is expectation for the server, e.g. what is target of maximum online players.

  Up to 500 players a VPS can be enough, however not necessarily cheaper. For any higher count of active player a Dedicated Server will be definitely a better choice.
   

  Does the server suppose to be global or local/regional?

  This is very important aspect while selecting the hosting. If the server meant to be run for selected world area only then the choice of server hosting should consider lowest latency (connection delay time) from/to the selected region, otherwise find most optimal option of lowest latency for most of your target regions.

• Server Applications Requirements

  The requirements depends mostly from count of Game Server instances and online count. As far as the online count of players increases it may be necessary to upgrade your hosting configuration.

  Minimum requirements should not be lower than listed below - based on default Server configuration (2 Data Servers, 1 Connect Server, 6 Game Servers) with 90% players load
