VPS Sizing for Game Servers: CPU, RAM, and Headroom
Match plan size to your game, mods, and player peaks with a simple sizing model.
Sizing a VPS is about predicting peak load and leaving room for spikes.
CPU first
Game servers are CPU bound. Choose the highest clock speed you can afford.
RAM second
Enough RAM prevents swapping during peak hours. Add headroom for mods and caches.
Storage and I/O
NVMe reduces save pauses and keeps database writes fast.
A simple rule: size for the busiest hour of your week, not the average hour.
