Game server hosting is a service that lets players or communities host multiplayer games on a dedicated server. Instead of relying on one player's device to act as the host (which can cause lag or disconnections), a game server runs 24/7 on powerful hardware in a data center. This gives you better performance, lower latency, more control, and a smoother experience for everyone playing.
With GameForge, you can host popular titles like Minecraft, CS:GO, and more — all with easy setup, mod support, and powerful management tools.
You can host a wide variety of multiplayer games on a game server especially titles that support dedicated server software. Common examples include:
Sandbox games like Minecraft, Terraria, and ARK: Survival Evolved
Shooters like CS:GO, Rust, and Call of Duty (with server support)
Survival games like Valheim, 7 Days to Die, and DayZ
MMORPGs and roleplay servers like Garry’s Mod or FiveM (GTA V)
Strategy games like Factorio or Satisfactory
At GameForge, we support a growing list of popular titles and even allow custom game server uploads, so you’re not locked into presets. If your game has dedicated server support chances are, we can host it.
