Game Server Guides
Quick answer: A game server is a dedicated server that hosts a multiplayer game for many players simultaneously. At NexoraHost you'll find guides for 15+ games – from installation and mods to performance optimization.
Game servers require different amounts of RAM and CPU depending on the game. Vanilla Minecraft runs on 2 GB RAM, modded servers and games like ARK or FiveM typically need 8–16 GB. Find all details in the game-specific guides.
