What GameServerKings is

GameServerKings hosts multiplayer game servers and dedicated machines, with deployments typically taking about a minute. Its catalog lists 51 game servers, including Minecraft, Rust, ARK, Palworld, Valheim, and Counter-Strike 2. The management panel includes a live console, resource graphs, server controls, file management, startup configuration, and backups. Users can schedule or start backups on demand, lock snapshots, download them, and restore them through the panel. Dedicated machines can be managed through the panel or operated with full root access. The API supports ordering and managing game and dedicated servers through 93 operations across seven groups, using bearer-token authentication. GameServerKings says all services include always-active L4 and L7 DDoS protection. Its SLA commits to 99.9% monthly availability for covered infrastructure on active paid servers, excluding failures caused by customer mods or configurations and publisher software or services. Support is generally available 24 hours a day, seven days a week, though replies may take longer at peak times. Pricing starts at $2/mo; there is no free plan or trial. Orders cancelled within 72 hours of receiving the game server qualify for a full refund.
