Game Server Hosting - Ping or Die
Dedicated Game Server Hosting
Generally game server hosting caters to two main groups of online games - those available from the main server, and those that operate through a series of distributed ones.
Centralized servers are mostly often used to host games that require these servers to be able to host thousands of users playing at the same time. The game goes on no matter if the user is online or offline. To participate in the game, a player usually needs special client software that connects to the main server. One of the most popular game using the technology of centralized servers is the World of Warcraft.
Another model is the distributed servers technology. There should be a master server in this chain to control messaging between the whole bunch of distributed servers. Users usually choose servers with the best ping rates and connect to them to play online. That is why game server hosting companies connect their servers to the fastest networks. Hosting providers usually supply their clients with game server hosting services that include the most technologically advanced servers and network connections, very often with the preinstalled software to start online gaming business immediately. The most popular games using the technology of distributed servers are: Doom 3, Medal of Honor, Halo, Unreal Tournament, Counter Strike, Quake 3 etc.
Game server hosting providers are expected to significantly increase their revenue due to such rapid growth figures of online gaming.
