USE CASE · game-server
Game Server Hosting RU/CIS.
Low-latency CS2, Rust, Minecraft on hardened CIS iron with anti-DDoS scrubbing.
WHY CIS.
Mainstream cloud platforms price-gouge bandwidth on game traffic and inconsistently enforce policy on private servers. CIS hardened iron with a documented operator-side response policy gives a stable home for a real community.
WORKLOAD.
Game-server hosting in Moscow, SPB, Minsk, Almaty. Sub-25 ms latency to the CIS player base, sub-30 ms to Beijing, sub-15 ms from SPB to Helsinki and Stockholm. Bare-metal iron only — no shared CPU contention, no noisy-neighbour jitter.
DDoS scrubbing tuned for UDP game traffic patterns: 1-3 ms added latency through scrubbing, not the 50-200 ms detour generic scrubbers add. 100 Gbps shielding on Anonymous Dedicated Mid, lower tiers in proportion. Pterodactyl pre-stages on request — Minecraft (vanilla / Forge / Spigot / Paper), CS2, Rust, Valheim, Garry's Mod.

DATACENTERS FOR THIS WORKLOAD.
FAQ.
Latency from CIS cities to European players?
Moscow → Berlin sub-35 ms, SPB → Helsinki sub-15 ms, Minsk → Warsaw sub-25 ms, Almaty → Beijing sub-30 ms. Sub-5 ms across the CIS backbone via MSK-IX / SPB-IX / BY-IX / KZ-IX.
Is the DDoS protection game-grade?
Yes. Scrubbers tuned for UDP-game traffic, 1-3 ms added latency through scrub. Up to 100 Gbps on Anonymous Dedicated Mid; tiered down on lower plans.
Pterodactyl pre-installed?
On request at provisioning. Auto-installers for Minecraft (vanilla / Forge / Spigot / Paper / Fabric), CS2, Rust, Valheim, ARK, Garry's Mod, 25+ titles.
Multiple game instances on one box?
Yes. Pterodactyl handles multi-instance under BungeeCord / Velocity / Waterfall. DS Pro and DS Beast are sized for multi-server network operators.
Modded Minecraft RAM?
Vanilla 50-player on 4 GB. FTB / ATM10 / heavy modpacks want 8-16 GB. DS Mid (32 GB DDR4) is the sweet spot for any modpack community.
LEGAL NOTE: Operators of private servers based on commercial games hold their own licensing posture. Operator hosts the iron; operator does not validate game-binary or modpack licensing. Counsel review pending — see /legal/aup.
