Our specialized Game anti-DDoS protection system is optimized for hosting games and offers two-way mitigation and protection on the application layer.

The advantages of a Game server
Game DDoS Protection
Game DDoS protection is included with all of our Game dedicated servers and is the most efficient and robust on the market. Its purpose is to avoid any downtime for your services. Unlike standard solutions, it is adapted to UDP traffic (used for video, audio and video games), with ingress and egress traffic reviewed. Game-specific profiles can also be applied, to further optimize the protection. In the event of a distributed denial of service (DDoS) attack, players will not notice a thing.
The ultimate gaming experience
Our Game servers have up to 1Gbps bandwidth, to process traffic without compromising service availability. With data centers based across the globe, you can rent servers closest to where your gamers are based, for the lowest latency possible. It is a perfect solution for professional resellers and publishers with optimal performance at an affordable price.
Raw power for gaming
The latest generation of AMD Ryzen processors offers significant architectural changes that are reflected through optimal performance. At OVHcloud, you can harness the full power of these processors, with water-cooling to ensure constant optimal performance. And with this 3rd generation of Ryzen processors, you get up to 30% higher performance compared to previous generations.

🕹️ Why choose a Game server to host video games?
Game dedicated servers focus on performance. They are equipped with AMD Ryzen processors - based on the Zen 3 architecture - which offer the best performance on the market. These configurations are mainly aimed at video game designers and hosting providers of streaming platforms. They are designed to handle parallel tasks, image and video processing, as well as hosting online games.

💰 What do the setup fees consist of?
The setup fees cover the cost of assembling and connecting your server in our datacentres. The initial fees are only billed once, when the service is set up. This means they are not linked to your commitment period.
The setup fees for your dedicated server are included for any commitment periods of 12 months or longer.

The options are available at the server configuration step. You can also order and enable options directly via the OVHcloud Control Panel, after your service has been delivered.
