A platform built for game hosting
Game servers, with their AMD Ryzen 9000X 3D processors and custom DDoS protection for online gaming, are built to deliver a top-notch, lag-free experience for your players and customers alike.
AMD Ryzen 9800X 3D/9950X 3D
Game servers equipped with AMD Ryzen 9800X 3D and 9950X 3D processors offer high clock frequencies paired with an expanded L3 3D V-Cache. The high frequencies provide strong single-core performance, while the large L3 cache minimises memory latency by keeping critical datasets close to the CPU cores. This combination is ideal for game hosting servers and latency-sensitive workloads, delivering faster data access, improved performance stability, and a smoother gaming experience.
Ensure a smooth gaming experience with our Game DDoS Protection
Minimise downtime to deliver the best possible service and get an easy setup, directly from your Control Panel – deploy it in just a few clicks and we’ll take care of the rest. Plus, we are always adding new protected game profiles.
They host their games on OVHcloud
Meet Alistair McFarlane, COO of FacePunch Studio, explaining the success of Rust – a well known online title – and how OVHcloud Game servers help them deliver cutting edge performances for their players.
Stable CPU performance for everyday workloads
The built-in cooling system inside each OVHcloud server keeps CPUs running within safe thermal limits, ensuring consistent performance for everyday workloads. No advanced cooling technologies are required – the system stays stable, predictable, and easy to manage.

Your questions answered
What should a Game server be used for?
Game servers are built to host video games and streaming platforms. They are perfectly suited for running game server clusters, offering cloud gaming, building player communities, streaming content, or hosting online gaming tournaments.
What is a Game server used for?
A Game dedicated server is a standalone machine used exclusively for hosting multiplayer video games. Unlike other kinds of hosting where resources might be shared, a Game dedicated server is all yours. It handles everything related to your game – logic, data, and player connections – and doesn’t rely on any single player’s hardware.
Where would my data be hosted?
By choosing a server location close your users, you can keep latency low – with the support of our global infrastructure. If your players are spread across several regions, it may be useful to deploy additional servers in strategic geographical zones.
What is the vRack private network?
The vRack isn’t included in the Game range. But the private server network provides fast, secure data exchange within the same system, useful for hosting connected game servers, like main and zone servers.
Are Game servers certified ISO 27001?
Yes, OVHcloud dedicated server ranges are certified ISO, SOC2, HDS, HIPAA, and PCI DSS. All our servers come with built-in anti-DDoS protection and a global capacity of over 17 Tbps for mitigation.
What are the technical specifications of the Game range?
Game servers are equipped with AMD Ryzen 9800X3D and 9950X3D processors, with exceptionally high clock speeds, making them perfect for gaming. Plus, they are water-cooled for the best performance. Each server gets a public IPv4 address and an IPv6 range. You can also rent up to 256 more IPv4 addresses for each machine.
Which is the best Game server?
The Game-2, powered by AMD Ryzen 9 9950X3D, is a top-of-the-range model and is perfect for high intensity gaming, especially when high single-thread speed is required. For slightly less intensive requirements, the Game-1 (with Ryzen 7 9800X3D) is a smart option.
Which Game dedicated server should I choose?
The best Game server depends on your usage. No matter if you’re a host, game publisher, or community manager, OVHcloud’s Game servers can be scaled to match your specific needs. They are built to provide a buffer-free, no-lag gaming experience for your players.
Why choose a Game dedicated server?
All our Game servers come with a 99.95% SLA, robust and easy-to-configure built-in Game DDoS protection, and unlimited free incoming/outgoing traffic. There are no setup fees when you sign up for a year or more. OVHcloud’s advanced anti-DDoS protection keeps gameplay smooth, even during attacks or sudden traffic bursts, all powered by water-cooled AMD Ryzen servers.
