Before you order
Questions before you choose a server?
Which hosting type should I choose?
Choose a managed game server if you want VYKIX to maintain the operating system. Choose Game VPS for root access or custom software. Choose bare metal for an entire physical machine or several servers.
What does a server cost?
Managed game servers have one price for the server, with no per-slot fees. For Game VPS, choose the resources you need; for bare metal, choose the whole machine. You'll find prices with each plan. Your order total, including applicable taxes and fees, is shown before payment.
Which processors are available?
Available processors span Intel i5-12600K to Core Ultra 9 285K and AMD Ryzen 7800X3D, 7900X, and 9800X3D options. Hardware varies by product and location. Game-server and bare-metal plans name the processor; Game VPS plans specify vCPU, memory, and NVMe.
Does VYKIX charge per player slot?
No. Managed game hosting has no per-slot fees. Choose a server with enough capacity for your game, mods and players. Game VPS is priced by resources, and bare metal by the machine.
Can I try the hosting first?
Yes. Try DayZ or Rust free for 48 hours. We check your card without charging it, and no paid subscription starts when the trial ends. Trial hardware may differ from your paid plan. Export the files you want to keep before the trial stops; active data is deleted seven calendar days after suspension. To continue, place a separate paid order.
