How To Choose A Game Server Host
What to check, in the order that saves the most time.
1. Start with your game
Hosts price each game separately and not all of them run every game. Open your game's comparison to see only the hosts that run it, with their slots, RAM and price for that game.
2. Read ratings with their review count
A 4.8 from 1,600 reviews tells you more than a 4.9 from 40. The table above shows both, and the scores are checked against Trustpilot every month.
3. Price the plan you will actually use
Starting prices are the smallest plan. Compare the size your group needs, then see how much each host takes off for paying 3, 6 or 12 months on the deals page.
4. Pick a location near your players
Ping depends on the distance to the datacentre. A host with a server in your players' country beats a cheaper one on the other side of the world.
5. Check the refund window
Some hosts give you 24 hours to 3 days to cancel and get your money back. That is your chance to test performance with your own group.
6. Make sure you get file access
Mods, plugins and config edits need FTP or a file manager. Most hosts here use TCAdmin and a few have their own panel, so check the host's page before you buy.

Game Server Hosting Providers FAQ
What is the best game server hosting provider?
It depends on the game, so each game's comparison page ranks the hosts that run it. Across all 16 hosts TopServer tracks, Host Havoc has the highest Trustpilot rating, 4.8 from 1,619 reviews, followed by GTXGaming (4.7) and LogicServers (4.7).
Which game server host supports the most games?
GTXGaming, with 170 of the games TopServer compares. The average across all 16 hosts is 71.
Which game server host is cheapest?
The lowest starting price listed on TopServer is Streamline Servers for Multi Theft Auto: San Andreas, from $1.04 a month. Prices are set per game, so check the game's own comparison page for the cheapest host for the game you play.
Which game server hosts offer refunds?
13 of the 16 hosts state a refund window. The longest is ARKServers.io's 30-day money-back guarantee for new customers. The others, longest first: Nitrous Networks (7-day refund if the host is at fault), ScalaCube (7-day refund on any payment), LOW.MS (5-day money-back guarantee), AGS Game Servers (72-hour money-back guarantee), Blue Fang Solutions (72-hour money-back guarantee), CloudNord (3-day refund with a valid reason), Host Havoc (3-day money-back guarantee), Shockbyte (72-hour self-serve refund), EUGameHost (48-hour cooling-off refund on new orders), Streamline Servers (48-hour money-back guarantee), GTXGaming (24-hour money-back guarantee), XGamingServer (24-hour money-back guarantee). ZAP Hosting and Nitrado give the EU 14-day right of withdrawal instead, which deducts the time you have already used. LogicServers gives account credit rather than cash refunds. Conditions differ (first order only, new customers only), so read the host's terms before you buy.
How does TopServer order the hosts?
By Trustpilot score, then by number of reviews. You can re-sort by game coverage or name. Sponsored slots sit in their own labelled section and don't change the order of the directory.
