By game

Which game servers fit, in Erith.

The cheapest size here that fits each one, read from the same catalogue the cart charges from. Bigger sizes are in the table further down.

BeamMP

BeamMP's server runs on Windows or Linux.

On Linux: GL6-12: 6 vCPU, 12 GB RAM, 100 GB disk, $29.90 a month.

With Windows Server 2022: GL6-12 at $68.90 a month.

BeamMP asks for very little; Windows Server is what sets the floor at 2 vCPU and 4 GB.

FiveM

FiveM's server runs on Windows or Linux, with a setup guide for each.

On Linux: GL6-12: 6 vCPU, 12 GB RAM, 100 GB disk, $29.90 a month.

With Windows Server 2022: GL6-12 at $68.90 a month.

FiveM publishes no hardware figure, so the floor is the game-hosting rule: two cores and 4 GB for a server for friends.

Minecraft

The Java Edition server runs on Windows, macOS and Linux.

On Linux: GL6-12: 6 vCPU, 12 GB RAM, 100 GB disk, $29.90 a month.

With Windows Server 2022: GL6-12 at $68.90 a month.

The Minecraft Wiki recommends at least 2 GB of RAM for a small server and says a larger one may need 4 GB, so the floor here is 4 GB.

Counter-Strike 2

Valve lists Linux, and Windows 10 or 11, for its dedicated server; not Windows Server, so here it is a Linux server.

On Linux: GL6-12: 6 vCPU, 12 GB RAM, 100 GB disk, $29.90 a month.

Linux only: its server is not documented on Windows Server.

Valve asks for 65 GB of storage, so the size here also needs at least that much disk.

What actually limits it

Three constraints, in the order they bite.

The full argument is on the game hosting page; the short version decides which row to buy.

Single-thread speed
Buy for: Clock speed and cache, not core count.
Memory
Buy for: Enough that you are not near the edge, then stop.
The network
Buy for: The region your players are in, before anything else.

A community server that must not stutter. Here the argument for pinned cores is real: a shared core is quick in bursts and unpredictable under constant load, and a game server is constant load. The Dedicated CPU line is not sold in Erith today; the line page lists where it runs.

Questions

A game server in Erith, answered.

Which game servers can I host in Erith?
BeamMP from $29.90 a month (GL6-12), FiveM from $29.90 a month (GL6-12), Minecraft from $29.90 a month (GL6-12), Counter-Strike 2 from $29.90 a month (GL6-12). Each price is the cheapest size of 2 vCPU and 4 GB or more that Erith sells for that game, on Linux, at Erith's own price.
Do I need a dedicated server for a game server in Erith?
Usually not. A server for a handful of friends is bound by one thread and a few gigabytes of memory, so a small instance does it: GL6-12 at $29.90 a month in Erith. The Dedicated CPU line, with cores pinned to your machine, is not sold in Erith today.
Can I run a Windows game server in Erith?
Yes. Windows Server 2022 or 2019 can be built on 1 of the 1 sizes here, from $68.90 a month, license included. Linux runs on every size.
What ping will players get from a server in Erith?
We have not measured it, so we print no figure. Distance sets the floor on round-trip time, which makes the region a more important decision than the plan: choose Erith if your players are near it. Deploy the smallest size by the hour, play on it from where your players are, and destroy it if the result does not justify the move.
Can I test it by the hour in Erith?
Not in Erith today: every size here is sold by the month, because the machine underneath is paid a month up front.
How quickly is a game server in Erith ready?
In under an hour. You get the address, the root password and the details in your account, and if anything about the build needs a second look we tell you rather than leave you refreshing a page.
