Frequently Asked Questions
Root server or VPS – what do I need?
For small to medium game servers (up to 20 players), a VPS with 4–8 GB RAM is often enough. For large communities, modded servers or multiple services simultaneously, we recommend a root server with dedicated CPU.
Which ports do I need to open for game servers?
It depends on the game. Minecraft uses port 25565, ARK 7777/7778, FiveM 30120. Our firewall guide explains the setup step by step.
