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

On Linux: GL2-4: 2 vCPU, 4 GB RAM, 40 GB disk, $11.90 a month.

Minecraft

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

On Linux: GL2-4: 2 vCPU, 4 GB RAM, 40 GB disk, $11.90 a month.

Windows Server is not sold on a size that fits it in Strasbourg today.

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.

No size in Strasbourg has the disk for it today.

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 Strasbourg today; the line page lists where it runs.

Questions

A game server in Strasbourg, answered.

Which game servers can I host in Strasbourg?
BeamMP from $11.90 a month (GL2-4), FiveM from $11.90 a month (GL2-4), Minecraft from $11.90 a month (GL2-4), Counter-Strike 2: no size here has the disk for it today. Each price is the cheapest size of 2 vCPU and 4 GB or more that Strasbourg sells for that game, on Linux, at Strasbourg's own price.
Do I need a dedicated server for a game server in Strasbourg?
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: GL2-4 at $11.90 a month in Strasbourg. The Dedicated CPU line, with cores pinned to your machine, is not sold in Strasbourg today.
Can I run a Windows game server in Strasbourg?
Not in Strasbourg today: no size of 2 vCPU and 4 GB or more here can be built with Windows Server. Linux runs on every size, and all four game servers on this page run on Linux.
What ping will players get from a server in Strasbourg?
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 Strasbourg 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 Strasbourg?
Not in Strasbourg 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 Strasbourg 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.
