Frequently asked questions
What kind of gaming workloads do your servers support?
Hivelocity supports the full spectrum of gaming workloads — from foundational mobile and casual games to high-frequency multiplayer servers, esports tournaments, CDN edge nodes, and live service game infrastructure.
Do your servers include DDoS protection for game servers?
Yes. DDoS protection is included with all server plans. Our network-level mitigation protects game servers from volumetric attacks that could disrupt gameplay or cause downtime.
Can I scale my game server fleet across multiple regions?
Yes. With 40+ data centers across 6 continents, you can deploy region-specific servers and expand as your player base grows — with no provider changes required.
What's the difference between using a VPS, VDS, or dedicated server for gaming?
Dedicated bare metal servers provide single-tenant hardware with no virtualization overhead, delivering the most consistent performance and lowest latency. VPS and VDS solutions share physical resources, which can introduce the noisy-neighbor effects that hurt real-time gameplay.
