All our dedicated servers come with 250 Gbps of complimentary DDoS protection as a standard feature. Our system uses tailored rules designed to defend against emerging gaming-related threats. You can monitor attacks in real-time or review past incidents, utilizing our edge layer firewall to proactively restrict malicious source IPs.
In competitive gaming, ping is everything. When connecting to a game server, the physical distance and network routes are critical. By applying sophisticated network mapping and advanced BGP routing algorithms, we significantly lower end users' connection latency, ensuring fair and responsive gameplay.
For massive server networks and complex clusters (like Ark or Minecraft), game server operators have the option to employ advanced Auto Load Balancing features. This allows your infrastructure to intelligently select either the least connected or a random node, guaranteeing optimal performance for incoming players.
Our bare metal game servers are designed to support a massive range of multiplayer online games and demanding software applications. If you require dedicated server resources, you have full root access to host exactly what you need.
Before we detail the solutions, let's identify the problems. If you've ever tried hosting a game on your PC or used a cheap, shared server, you've felt these frustrations. A growing gaming community doesn't just want a dedicated server; it *needs* one to survive and thrive.
When you "Host & Play," the entire game world is tied to your PC. If your internet stutters, everyone lags. If your PC crashes, the server dies. Worst of all, if you log off, the world *stops*. This is impossible for persistent games like Rust, Ark, or Minecraft where your base needs to be online 24/7.
Most cheap game server providers (GSPs) cram hundreds of "servers" onto a single machine. When another server on that machine gets overloaded (like a Palworld server with 32 players), your server's CPU is stolen, and you get massive lag spikes. You're throttled, you can't run heavy modpacks, and you're paying for resources you aren't even getting.
On official servers, you're at the mercy of cheaters and random wipes. On cheap GSPs, you get weak DDoS protection and no root access. A rival Rust or CS2 team can easily boot your server offline. You have no real control over your files, your community, or your server's security.
A true dedicated server from EPY Host solves all these problems. You get 100% of the resources, 100% of the control, and the powerful, secure platform you need to build the "unparalleled gaming experience" your community deserves.
You've already seen the core advantages of an EPY Host server: the raw power of the AMD and Intel platform, our standard 250 Gbps Anti-DDoS protection, and our intelligent Low-Latency Routes.
A generic server isn't enough for a dedicated community. Different games have different bottlenecks. Below, we detail the specific technical challenges of today's most popular games and explain precisely how our hardware and network are engineered to deliver an "unparalleled gaming experience."
As the ultimate creative sandbox, Minecraft is a platform for "creative endeavors," from simple survival servers (SMPs) to massive networks running modpacks (Forge/Fabric) and plugins. This freedom creates a major technical challenge: Minecraft's main game loop (entity processing, redstone, AI) is famously single-threaded. This means server performance is bottlenecked by the speed of a single CPU core. A low "Tick Per Second" (TPS) is the #1 enemy, causing block lag and unresponsive mobs, especially with many players or complex, world-loading modpacks.
Our AMD Ryzen platform is legendary for its dominant single-core performance. This is the perfect hardware to maintain a rock-solid 20 TPS, ensuring "seamless gameplay" even with demanding mods. Paired with our Low-Latency Routes, your community gets a responsive connection to your world.
As the world's most competitive tactical FPS, CS2 demands perfection. In a game of milliseconds, server performance is the difference between a fair match and a frustrating one, leading communities to demand 128-tick servers for perfect hit registration. This doubles the server load, as a 128-tick server processes the game state 128 times per second. This requires exceptional single-core CPU speed, and any network lag creates an unfair "peeker's advantage."
Our AMD Ryzen CPUs deliver the raw frequency needed to run a 128-tick server without breaking a sweat. More importantly, our Low-Latency Routes, which use "sophisticated network mapping and algorithms," are engineered to "lower end users' connection latency," ensuring a fair, responsive, and lag-free battlefield.
Rust is a brutal multiplayer survival game defined by its high-stakes PvP and base-raiding. This relentless environment creates two major server challenges. First, "Wipe Day" (when the map resets) and massive, complex player-built bases ("entities") put an immense strain on the CPU. Second, the high-stakes nature means rivals will launch DDoS attacks during a raid to take your server offline and steal your loot.
Our 250 Gbps DDoS Protection is your server's best defense. When a rival clan attacks you mid-raid, you can "monitor the ongoing attack in real-time" via our panel. Our system's "tailored rules" are designed to filter this malicious game-related traffic. You can even use the "edge layer firewall to restrict source IP addresses," proactively blocking the assault and keeping your server online to win the fight.
Ark is a massive-scale survival game focused on taming dinosaurs, building elaborate bases, and running "clusters" (a network of multiple servers players can travel between). This scale makes Ark notoriously resource-hungry. It requires massive amounts of RAM to handle thousands of tamed dinos, player-built structures, and heavy mods. It's also storage-intensive, with huge world save files that can take minutes to load on slow drives.
We specialize in high-RAM, high-storage configurations Ark demands. For cluster admins, our Auto Load Balancing feature is a game-changer. You can configure your cluster to use the "least connected or a random server" option, intelligently distributing your players across your maps for "optimal performance" and a seamless experience.
This viral open-world phenomenon blends survival, crafting, and monster-taming for up to 32 players. As an early-access title, Palworld is still being optimized, which means the server must handle complex AI for hundreds of Pals, physics-based building, and 32 simultaneous player connections. This often leads to memory leaks and CPU spikes, causing "rubber-banding" and crashes on underpowered hardware.
Our AMD Ryzen servers provide the powerful modern hardware this new game needs. Our anti-DDoS protection system is "constantly fine-tuned" to adapt to threats against new releases, meaning your Palworld server was protected from day one.
Arma 3 is a massive-scale military simulation sandbox, used as a platform for complex scenarios involving hundreds of AI units, vehicles, players, and ballistic physics. The game's simulation engine (RV) is notoriously single-threaded. This means server performance ("Server FPS") is almost entirely dependent on the speed of one CPU core. A low Server FPY causes desync, laggy AI, and a poor experience for all 100+ players in an operation.
This game is the poster child for our AMD Ryzen platform. The high clock speeds and powerful single-core architecture are exactly what you need to maintain a high Server FPS, ensuring a smooth and responsive simulation even in the most chaotic battles.
This is an open-world vampire survival game combining ARPG combat with castle building and PvP. The server must maintain a persistent, "always-on" world where player castles are constantly vulnerable. Because PvP conflict is a core part of the game, rival players may, like in Rust, resort to DDoS attacks to gain an advantage or disrupt your castle.
Our 250 Gbps DDoS Protection gives you full visibility. If you suspect an attack from a rival clan, you can "review incidents from the past 1 hour, 12 hours, or 36 hours" to confirm and identify the threat. You can even "filter assaults according to particular devices" to get a detailed overview of what's happening.
This realistic, team-based tactical FPS is known for its lethal gunplay and close-quarters combat where a split-second reaction makes all the difference. Like CS2, this game requires a high server tick rate and a responsive connection for its fast-paced, lethal combat to feel "fair." Lag or poor hit registration is immediately noticeable and frustrating for players.
Our Low-Latency Routes are key here. By optimizing the network path from your players to the server, we minimize ping and ensure our high-frequency AMD Ryzen CPUs can deliver the crisp, instant hit registration the game demands.
This classic co-op horde shooter is driven by its "AI Director," which dynamically spawns hordes of "Infected" to create a fast-paced, relentless experience. The main technical challenge is server stability and network responsiveness. A lag spike or CPU hitch during a "Tank" spawn or a panic event can instantly wipe the team. The server must flawlessly handle the AI Director's demands while providing a low-ping connection for all four players.
Our Low-Latency Routes are perfect for the fast-paced, close-quarters combat of L4D2, ensuring all players have a responsive experience. Our stable AMD Ryzen platform easily handles the AI Director, preventing the lag spikes that get your team killed during a critical horde.
This is a unique survival horror game that blends FPS, tower defense, and a fully-destructible voxel world. The server's ultimate technical challenge is the "Blood Moon" horde night, where it must calculate physics and AI pathfinding for hundreds of zombies simultaneously attacking a player-built fortress. This puts an immense, spike-heavy load on the CPU's single-core performance.
The high-frequency cores of our AMD Ryzen platform are built to handle the intense CPU load of a "Blood Moon," preventing the server from collapsing under pressure. Our DDoS Protection also ensures your base is safe from offline attacks on PvP-enabled servers.
This Viking-themed survival game is praised for its co-op exploration, physics-based building, and challenging boss battles. The server's primary challenge is managing world physics and AI in a large, procedurally-generated world. Actions like sailing, fighting sea serpents, or mass-felling trees require a CPU with high single-core clock speed to prevent desynchronization (lag) between players.
Our AMD Ryzen CPUs provide the high single-core speed needed to keep Valheim's physics and combat smooth. This is crucial for co-op boss fights, and our Low-Latency Routes ensure your whole party can sail, build, and fight together without frustrating desync.
As a modern survival sandbox, Soulmask focuses on building a tribe, meaning the server has a unique and constant technical challenge: managing complex, persistent AI routines for all your tribe members. The server must handle their crafting, defending, and pathfinding 24/7, in addition to all player actions, physics, and world simulation. This requires a strong, modern processor.
The powerful AMD Ryzen platform has the multi-threaded muscle to manage a large, advanced AI tribe without sacrificing performance for the players. Our DDoS Protection keeps your persistent world and all your tribe's progress safe from attack, 24/7.
An EPY Host dedicated server isn't just for a single game. The power and flexibility are perfect for:
Hosting high-performance, low-latency Mumble or TeamSpeak servers for your entire community.
Using your server's powerful AMD Ryzen resources to run several game servers at once.
