Features of a Game server
HARDWARE
Additional Storage Space
With our fully managed file storage solutions, you get centralized, high-performing storage and backup spaces for your data.
SOFTWARE
OS
Take your pick from a wide selection of licenses, including AlmaLinux, CentOS, Debian, Fedora, Rocky Linux, and Ubuntu.
Database
Configure your server by deploying Microsoft SQL Server, a powerful database management system.
Administration Interface
Streamline your management and automate everyday tasks using Plesk or cPanel web administration interface. By installing a control panel on your dedicated server, you get an intuitive and efficient web interface.
Virtualization
Deploy virtual machines by installing a virtualization system on your physical server – Microsoft Hyper-V Server or Proxmox VE.
NETWORK AND SECURITY
1 Gbps public bandwidth
Your server has a default minimum bandwidth. Incoming and outgoing traffic is unlimited and free (excluding our data centers located in the Asia-Pacific region). You can also increase your bandwidth.
IPMI
The IPMI (Intelligent Platform Management Interface) console can be accessed via the OVHcloud Control Panel or API, and provides you with a direct connection to your dedicated server. If your server becomes unavailable, you can keep control of it via its public IP address.
IPv4 and IPv6 Addresses
Each server has a public IPv4 address and an IPv6 address range. As an option, you can rent additional IPv4 addresses for your dedicated server (up to 256 per machine).
Additional IP
As part of our Additional IP solution, additional IPv4 addresses can be transferred between OVHcloud servers (as a failover feature). This means you can keep them if you change or migrate your machine, use them to switch traffic if a service goes down, or switch projects from a development environment to a production environment. These IP addresses can also be geolocated in 14 countries.
Bring Your Own IP
With the IP address bringing service (BYOIP) provided by OVHcloud, you can bring your own public IPv4 address ranges and use them as additional IP blocks.
It is a simple way to ensure that your company’s public connectivity is maintained. This is especially the case when you migrate some or all of your services to the cloud.
SECURITY AND OBSERVABILITY
Service Level Agreement
All servers in the range come with a 99.9% service level agreement (SLA), guaranteeing you the best availability for your business applications.
Network Security Dashboard
Get direct access, via your Control Panel, to an interface that provides you with a clear view of your server’s traffic. You can also view the anti-DDoS included with your solution on this interface.
Anti-DDoS Protection
All OVHcloud dedicated servers have a built-in anti-DDoS system for maximum security on your infrastructure.
Game DDoS Protection
The gaming and e-sports industry is one of the most popular targets for DDoS attacks. As a result, hosting platforms must be protected against these frequent, massive threats at all times. This is why we have developed specific anti-DDoS protection for the industry.
