Measure a busy session
Record CPU and memory use during play and saves. vCore count alone cannot predict server FPS. See Rust sizing or DayZ VPS guidance.
Allow room for upkeep
Your OS, panel and other instances share the allocation. Include memory for those processes and storage for updates, saves and backups.

Game VPS FAQ
Game VPS questions
Check what you can run, what you manage, and how to choose your plan.
What is the difference between Game VPS and managed game hosting?
Choose Game VPS when you want root access to install your game software and tools. You manage operating-system updates, game builds, configuration, access control, and software maintenance. With a listed managed game-server plan, you control the game files and configuration while VYKIX maintains the host operating system.
Can I run a DayZ server on a Game VPS?
Yes. Use root access to install and run your own DayZ PC server. You install, configure, update, and secure the operating system and DayZ software. Check compatibility with your chosen software; player capacity depends on your mods, settings, and VPS resources.
Where can I order a VYKIX Game VPS?
Choose Frankfurt, Germany, or Chicago, United States, based on where your players are. Each location has its own store, where you can compare vCPU, memory, and NVMe storage before ordering.
How do I choose the right Game VPS plan?
Start with your game's CPU and memory requirements, then account for your mods, player count, and admin tools. Leave room for the operating system, game updates, saves, and backups within the listed allocation. Compare the vCPU, memory, and NVMe in each plan; player slots alone do not tell you how much a server can handle.
Can I use a Game VPS for several game servers?
For a multi-server setup, ask VYKIX to confirm your games, expected players, mods, and proposed plan before you order. Each instance draws on the same VPS allocation, so the combined workload must fit its vCPU, memory, and storage limits. You handle software, security, ports, and maintenance.
How should I choose a Frankfurt VPS for my game server?
Start with the game and OS requirements, then measure the map, plugins, players and other processes you expect to run together. Compare that workload with the Frankfurt plan's vCPU, memory and NVMe allocation. Check routing from your players' networks where possible; choosing a European city does not guarantee a particular latency. You maintain the VPS operating system and software.
How much does Game VPS hosting cost, and which resources are included?
Compare plans in the Frankfurt or Chicago store to see the resources and price for your game servers. Each plan has a set vCPU, memory, and NVMe allocation. Your order total, including applicable taxes and fees, is shown before payment.
