Start with what you need
Which service should I choose?
Start with what you need to manage: a website, an operating system, a game installation or your own physical hardware. Compare management scope and resource limits as well as RAM and price.
| Requirement | Service to consider | Before choosing |
|---|---|---|
| Publish a website through a control panel | Web hosting | Compare domain, storage, CPU, RAM and email limits. |
| Increase resources for an existing website | Performance hosting | Measure current CPU/RAM usage and your application requirements. |
| Provide separate hosting accounts for clients | Reseller hosting | Review WHM/cPanel access and account/plan limits. |
| Manage an operating system and applications | Ryzen VDS | Clarify responsibility for the operating system, backups and applications. |
| Run a game server | Game server guides | Consider game version, mods, plugins and target player count together. |
| Rent a physical server | Dedicated server | Compare hardware, disk configuration, networking and management scope. |
| Place your own hardware in a data centre | Colocation | Determine rack space, power, connectivity and on-site support needs. |
Read about VDS, VPS and shared hosting differences. Check the current plan table and service terms before placing an order.

FiveM: setup and troubleshooting
Check FXServer, txAdmin, resources and the database separately; distinguish client performance from server performance.
- Check FXServer and OS compatibility; keep the server license key private.
- Complete txAdmin setup and test the base server before adding a framework.
- Add ESX, QBCore or QBox resources in dependency order; back up configuration before changes.
- Record the affected scenario: use the server profiler and client resmon separately, and check database latency.
Troubleshooting: If connection fails, check the server process, license/startup errors and network access. A server-wide stall and one player’s low FPS require different investigations.
Minecraft: setup and troubleshooting
Edition, modpack, world and view distance affect Minecraft resource needs. Measure memory and CPU bottlenecks separately.
- Choose Java Edition or Bedrock and match the server version to your players.
- For Java servers, verify the required Java version in the server software documentation.
- Keep -Xmx below total VDS memory to leave room for the OS and other processes.
- Back up the world and configuration, then observe CPU, memory and tick times during a realistic session.
Troubleshooting: Memory usage alone does not prove insufficient RAM. Examine GC pauses, swapping, tick times and plugin load together before upgrading.
Unturned: setup and troubleshooting
Plan an Unturned Dedicated Server on a VDS, resolve Workshop dependencies and preserve world saves during updates.
- Install the base server using SDG’s Dedicated Server guide.
- Confirm connection on a default map before adding Workshop content.
- Record dependencies and introduce items in controlled steps.
- Back up saves and test restoration before updates.
Troubleshooting: If a map fails to load, inspect download/startup logs and Workshop dependencies. If a default map works, investigate the modded configuration.
Rust: setup and troubleshooting
Evaluate free RAM, world size, entity load and post-wipe checks when selecting a Rust VDS.
- Allow OS headroom when estimating free RAM.
- Install with SteamCMD and Facepunch’s guide.
- Measure map and plugin load using a real save.</
