Difference between a "Dedicated Server" and a "Game Server"


When purchasing a "game server", you purchase a particular game with a particular amount of players. You don't have to do any system administration (such as security, patching/installing/upgrading software, monitoring performance, and fixing server problems). You just purchase your game, put in your config. and you are ready to game in minutes.

A dedicated server allows you more freedom but requires some system administration experience - A windows server is fairly easy to manage via remote desktop, while a linux server is managed via SSH and requires a good knowledge of the operating system. With a dedicated server, you have the freedom to install multiple games on your server. However, all of the administration of the game servers is up to you - The dedicated server choice is recommended to clans that are interested in purchasing multiple game servers.

A dedicated server allows you to lease and manage your own machine while taking advantage of our premium bandwidth. You can install any operating system you like, host as many games as you want, and even host your own websites and voice servers.
