Game hosting refers to the service of providing servers that allow players to host and play multiplayer video games. It ensures that game sessions are stable, secure, and available 24/7, allowing gamers to connect and play together online.

A game hosting service provides dedicated resources, better performance, and reliability compared to hosting games on a personal computer. It ensures minimal downtime, lower latency, and can handle more players simultaneously, improving the overall gaming experience

Most types of multiplayer games can be hosted, including first-person shooters (FPS), role-playing games (RPG), real-time strategy (RTS) games, and sandbox games. Popular examples include Minecraft, Counter-Strike, Ark: Survival Evolved, and Rust.

The cost of game hosting varies depending on factors like the number of players, server specifications, and additional features. Prices can range from a few dollars per month for basic servers to several hundred dollars per month for high-performance, large-scale servers.

Dedicated game servers are physical or virtual servers exclusively allocated to hosting a particular game. They provide better performance, higher stability, and more customization options compared to shared hosting solutions.

Setting up a game server typically involves choosing a hosting provider, selecting the game you want to host, configuring server settings (such as player limits and game rules), and installing necessary game files. Many hosting providers offer one-click setups and management tools to simplify the process.
