What people actually run

Minecraft: setting up a server is the official Java server, and Paper or Purpur are the drop-in community builds on top of it. Valve titles install through Valve SteamCMD — Counter-Strike 2 dedicated servers for Counter-Strike 2, Rust dedicated server for Rust — and multi-instance operators wrap everything in the Pterodactyl panel panel. Managed shops (Apex, Shockbyte and peers) sell convenience on card rails with per-slot pricing. The alternative this page documents: install those same official binaries on a VM you control, pay the invoice in coins, and keep root.

Who this is for

Sizing by game

• Minecraft: the RAM hog of the list — budget 8 GB as the entry point for a modded community; Warden is the usual floor, Vanguard for heavyweight modpacks.
• CS2: tick-rate bound — a strong single-thread clock beats core count here, which is what the EPYC 9454P at the top of the VPS line (Vanguard/Sentinel) is for.
• Rust: memory plus disk I/O — 16 GB and NVMe from the start, both of which every tier ships.

Playbook

The attack reality

A public server is a target from its first day in the browser list: rivals with a grudge, bots sweeping ranges, and booter hobbyists who paid five dollars to ruin an evening. Included L3/L4 filtering absorbs the volumetric share of that — the floods that otherwise end a community's night. What it deliberately does not do is read your game protocol: vote-site spam, chat floods and exploit payloads live in plugin and panel territory. That boundary is exactly why filtering belongs in the platform invoice rather than behind a per-IP upsell.

Placement

Latency is the whole player experience, so choose the rack by where the players live: Dallas for US Central, Tokyo for JP and KR, Frankfurt for the EU core, Sao Paulo for Brazil. One SKU price spans all twenty-one flags — Iceland and Switzerland aside, which carry published premiums — so relocating a community closer to its base is a re-deploy and an rsync, not a renegotiation with a sales desk.

Money and the upgrade path

The billing logic stays un-game-like: you pay the SKU, never a per-slot fee, so a full weekend and an empty Wednesday cost the same. Sentry covers the small circle at $7.50 list ($6.00 annual-eff on a 12-month term); Ranger and Warden carry growing communities; Vanguard and Sentinel put a high-clock EPYC under tick-sensitive titles. When metrics — not folklore — show neighbour noise, the same account upgrades the world onto a dedicated unit with whole cores and IPMI, or parks backups and old maps on the NVMe storage ladder. Sixteen coins settle every step.
