    UK NOC support

    Built for tick-rate, not brochures

    Every component chosen for the things that actually decide whether your shard, lobby or league runs smoothly.

    High-Clock CPUs

    Intel Core i9 and AMD Ryzen 9 with all-core boost above 5 GHz — the single-thread headroom that game tick-rates actually depend on.

    DDR5 ECC Memory

    32 GB to 256 GB of fast DDR5, with ECC on workstation- and server-class platforms so long-running shards stay stable.

    NVMe Gen 4 Storage

    Tier-1 NVMe for world data and map streaming — fast load times, fast respawns and fast backups between rounds.

    600 Gbps DDoS Included

    Always-on, in-line Corero SmartWall mitigation at the network edge. Layer 3/4 attacks dropped in under a second — no scrubbing-centre redirect.

    1 / 10 Gbps Uplinks

    1 Gbps as standard, 10 Gbps available. Generous monthly bandwidth allowances and burstable 95th-percentile billing for tournament traffic spikes.

    UK-Routed, Low Latency

    Hosted in our Cambridge Tier III data centre and peered at LINX, LONAP and IX Manchester — sub-15 ms ping across most of the UK.

    Fast Provisioning

    Pre-staged stock for popular gaming SKUs — most builds racked, imaged and online within a few hours of order.

    24/7 UK Support

    Real engineers on a UK number, around the clock. We'll reboot, reimage or run remote hands on game night, not next business day.

    Games we host every day

    If it runs on Linux or Windows Server, we host it. Here's a snapshot of what we already run for UK communities.

    Don't see your game? If it has a dedicated server binary, we'll host it — just ask.

    Who we host for

    From a single Minecraft shard to a tournament-ready FiveM city — same UK metal, same UK NOC.

    Community servers

    Run a polished community on dedicated metal — no noisy neighbours, no shared CPU steal, predictable tick-rates every night.

    Esports & tournaments

    Low-latency UK routes, DDoS protection that stays on under attack, and burstable bandwidth for big-match streaming and spectators.

    Game studios & publishers

    Persistent worlds, matchmaking back-ends and dedicated test fleets — UK data sovereignty with a real NOC on a real phone number.

    Modded & private shards

    Heavy modpacks (Forge, Oxide, BepInEx, txAdmin) on a box that can actually run them — high-clock CPU plus NVMe and ECC RAM.

    600 Gbps always-on DDoS — included, not extra

    Game servers attract attacks. Ours don't fall over because of them. Corero SmartWall sits in-line at the edge of our AS48825 network and mitigates volumetric and protocol attacks in under a second — no opt-in, no waiting on a scrubbing centre.

    • Always-on, in-line — no BGP redirection, no DNS swap, no "activate" button. Protection is on the moment your server is live.
    • Sub-second mitigation — UDP floods, amplification, SYN floods and game-specific exploits dropped before they reach your box.
    • UK-routed — clean traffic flows over LINX, LONAP and IX Manchester for the lowest possible ping inside the UK.
    • Attack reporting — request a report and we'll show you the vectors, peak Gbps/PPS and time-to-mitigation.

    Example community shard

    Chassis     : 1U short-depth, redundant PSU
    CPU         : AMD Ryzen 9 7950X (16C / 32T, 5.7 GHz boost)
    Memory      : 128 GB DDR5 ECC
    Storage     : 2 x 1.92 TB NVMe Gen 4 (RAID 1)
                  + 4 TB NVMe scratch for backups
    Network     : 1 Gbps unmetered (10 Gbps optional)
    DDoS        : 600 Gbps Corero SmartWall, always-on
    Management  : Dedicated IPMI / BMC, serial console
    OS / panel  : Ubuntu 22.04 + Pterodactyl (or your stack)

    Configurations are illustrative — every build is sized to the game, player count and mod stack you're running.

    How to get started

    01

    Tell us the game

    Title, player count, tick-rate target, mod stack and where your players are. We'll recommend the right CPU, memory, storage and bandwidth shape.

    02

    We build & image

    We rack the server in Cambridge, install Linux or Windows, harden it, configure firewalling and DDoS, and pre-install your panel or game stack on request.

    03

    Go live with support

    You get root + IPMI, the UK NOC on a real phone number, included remote hands and 600 Gbps DDoS — all on a fixed monthly price.
