What is Minecraft?
Since its launch in 2011, Minecraft has become a true global phenomenon, and the bestselling PC game of all time, with editions for almost all major platforms (even a pocket edition!), and more than 100 million registered users all over the world. With a vibrant online community, and a wide range of unique add-ons and mini games – such as Pixelmon and Skywars – there are more ways to play Minecraft than ever before. Seamless, responsive gameplay is now the industry standard, which all hosting providers offering private servers for Minecraft players (be they physical or virtual) are expected to deliver
|
Fully dedicated resources for maximum control
|
Your own bare-metal sandbox
|
Industry-leading anti-DDoS
|
|
With your own Minecraft server, 100% of the server’s resources and disk space is available to you, to allocate and rent out as game servers, with no need for a virtualisation layer.
You can optimise all elements of the games you host – such as Teamspeak, Livechat, Mumble and other popular VOIP systems – ensuring your end users enjoy the best experience possible, 24/7, wherever they are located.
|
With root access to your OVHcloud game server, you are free to configure your hosting environment in the way that best suits you and your customers and implement your favoured tools, including your choice of control panel (Multicraft, etc.). This provides you with the opportunity to build and develop professional-quality gaming environments from the ground up (just as your players build their unique Minecraft realms!), with new servers ready to deploy in our datacentres in as little as 120 seconds.
|
Online games, including Minecraft, are common targets for DDoS attacks, which is why all OVHcloud Game servers are equipped with our anti-DDoS GAME protection to ensure your server is automatically protected in the event of any attack, so your end users don’t experience any interruptions to their gameplay.
OVHcloud anti-DDoS protection set the standard for our industry in 2016, when it withstood the largest DDoS attack on record, and is effective against all current types of volume-based, protocol, and application layer attacks.
