Dedicated Servers for Game Hosting — Performance Hardware

Why bare metal for game servers

Game server performance is dominated by single-thread CPU speed and network latency. A 16-core Ryzen 7950X running at 5.7GHz base clock delivers more game server performance per rupee than a 48-core EPYC at lower clock speeds. For game hosting, clock speed matters more than core count — Minecraft, CS2, Rust, and most dedicated game servers are single-threaded or lightly multi-threaded.

• Ryzen 7950X: 16 cores at 4.5–5.7GHz — high clock speed for game servers
• No hypervisor latency — direct hardware access
• Dedicated NIC — consistent tick rate, no bandwidth contention
• Multiple game servers on one physical machine possible
• IPMI KVM — remote reboot without hosting company dependency

Recommended configurations for game hosting

AMD Ryzen 7950X: optimal for Minecraft Java, CS2, Rust, ARK, FiveM — high clock speed, 16 cores for running multiple server instances. Intel Xeon Gold: better for large player counts where multi-threading matters (e.g. 1000+ player MMO servers). AMD EPYC: for running a hosting business with many game server instances on one machine.

Location selection for game hosting

Player location determines server location. India-region for Indian gaming communities. Singapore for SEA games. Dallas or LA for North American servers. Frankfurt or Amsterdam for European game servers. Running a multi-region game? Speak with your advisor about multi-server architectures.

Global infrastructure. India-based support.

Bagful operates bare metal infrastructure across 25 locations in the US, Europe, and Asia-Pacific. Your server runs wherever your users or compliance requirements demand. What does not change, regardless of which datacenter your hardware sits in, is who you are dealing with: a team based in India, available in IST, billing in rupees, with a phone number and WhatsApp you can actually reach.

This is the combination international providers cannot offer — global reach without the global support queue — and that pure Indian hosting companies cannot match. Bagful has operated from India for over 20 years. Our infrastructure advisors are in Mohali and Mumbai, not Manila or Dublin.

Support runs 10AM–7PM IST, Monday to Saturday. WhatsApp is available for critical infrastructure issues outside those hours. Every invoice is issued in INR with GST from Bagful International LLP — an Indian entity, not an overseas billing address.
