After launching another successful IP — HUNT: Showdown, a competitive first-person PvP bounty hunting game with heavy PvE elements, Crytek aimed to bring this amazing game for its end-users. We needed a hosting provider that can offer us high-performance servers with great network speed, latency, and 24/7 support.

FAQ

How secure is VDS from Hostkey Is it safe to use your service for sensitive data?

Hostkey offers free basic DDoS protection for all of its servers. You can be completely confident in the high security of information and amazing stability.

What does a VDS do?

A virtual private server is well suited for sites that exceed the capabilities of conventional hosting, high-load network services, as well as for designing, developing and testing software. Closed corporate projects with increased requirements for data security and confidentiality are also mostly used on virtual dedicated servers.

Is VDS better than VPS?

VPS may cost less, but VDS is more reliable for its expensive price. In addition, the load on VPS servers is distributed among them, which leads to unstable operation. One server can take some of the resources, which will greatly degrade the performance of neighboring virtual servers.

What Is VDS Hosting?

VDS (Virtual Dedicated Server) is a hosting service in which a client is allocated an entire virtual server with full administrative rights, which makes it possible to install any software on the server. Functionally, a virtual server is no different from a physical one.

A separate server is needed when: when full control over the operating system is required; when you need the ability to install arbitrary software; when you want to have a guaranteed level of performance.

It isn’t necessary to use a separate server to host a small website. You can use shared hosting, which is cheaper. But at the same time, you can only use the software that the provider has installed. And the performance of your site will depend on the load on the “neighbors” in shared hosting.

What is the difference between a VDS and a VPS?

VPS or Virtual Private Server is a virtual private server, the operation of which is controlled by the operating system.

VDS or Virtual Dedicated Server is a virtual dedicated server that is managed by the server hardware. Depending on the tasks set by the client, any software can be installed on it.

VPS works on software type. That is a specific operating system, installed on the server with a special program available on it, which is intended for many virtual servers. The process is performed by programs in the OS.

At this time, the work of VDS occurs on the hardware type. OS helps with implementation. Each virtual dedicated server that the manager creates has its own operating system, which is, as it were, the creation of new “devices”.

In VDS, each machine runs on its own operating system and kernel, which is comparable to a separate physical server with full parameter settings, that VPS cannot boast of.

VPS may be lower in price category, but VDS is more reliable for its expensive price.

An alternative to a dedicated server

VDS for gaming is a great alternative to a dedicated server. Its advantages include low cost, due to the absence of the need to rent or purchase expensive equipment, as well as a high level of fault tolerance, due to the independence of the server from hardware failures.
