Gaming server sale: Start a Palworld, Ark, Rust or Minecraft world with 25% off for life

There are few things in life more fun than hopping on a private gaming server with your friends. Games like Minecraft, Palworld, Ark and Rust offer functionality for private, third-party hosting, outside of official public worlds and realms operated by the game’s developers – and as opposed to public servers, private servers give you more freedom over plugins, modding and permissions. Setting up your own server might seem like an arduous process, but that’s where companies like OVHcloud come in and make things easy – and with a special offer of up to 25% off your monthly bill for life, it’s a great time to get started.

OVHcloud is a server provider, offering unmanaged hosting solutions to gamers, resellers, communities and publishers. The popular servers you’ve likely jumped on in the games listed above (whether they’re casual, competitive or roleplay focused) are often operated by companies similar to OVHcloud. These are not the kinds of basic servers that you might want to just boot up with a couple of mates – they’re far more capable than that.

The advantage OVHcloud offers over hosting your own server at home is that it offers its own powerful hardware and software. Each server is powered by high frequency Ryzen processors and comes with anti-DDoS protection, generous traffic, and low latency network to ensure smooth and uninterrupted gameplay experiences.

And depending on how many players you’re expecting from your server, OVHcloud offers two different server configurations, both of which are currently discounted and ready to go. And beyond these gaming servers, OVHcloud offers more great cloud services for a multitude of other use cases too.
