// Why a PulsarHost VPS for gaming

What others charge extra for, is here by default.

Game servers demand three things: a DDoS-hardened network that holds up at 11pm on a Friday with nobody touching it, real dedicated CPU, and human support that answers in under 45 minutes during business hours. PulsarHost gives you all three with no surcharge and no fine print.

Real carrier DDoS, Tbps capacity

Mitigation at the network level, layers 3/4, with Tbps of capacity on the Amsterdam network. It kicks in on its own and comes as standard: no separate contract, no paid add-on.

Enterprise hardware without overselling

Real dedicated vCPU, enterprise NVMe, no 'CPU steal' and no noisy neighbors. Your Minecraft TPS or your CS2 tickrate doesn't drop because the neighbor decides to mine Bitcoin.

Human support in English

Response in under 45 minutes, Monday to Friday, 9-19 CET. Real devs answering real admins. And if your server goes down at 3am on a Saturday, DDoS mitigation is automatic and does not wait for anyone to open a ticket.

// Which plan to pick

Three tiers based on the size of your community.

Game servers scale with CPU, RAM and network. If you start with a Minecraft or CS2 for friends, Pulsar Pro is plenty. If you run Pterodactyl with several games, Pulsar Plus is the sweet spot. For FiveM 64p or large clusters, Pulsar Ultra.

// Game Servers FAQ

What you ask before setting up the server.

The most common questions from the gaming community. Don't see yours? Email info@pulsarhost.es.

Does Pterodactyl work out-of-the-box?
Yes. We hand you a docker-compose template with Pterodactyl Panel + Wings pre-installed. Deploy in 10 minutes on the VPS. If you come from another panel (Pelican, Crafty, AMP) those are also supported; free technical help by email to migrate your config.
How many players does each plan handle?
It depends on the game and mods. As a reference: Minecraft Paper vanilla = 50 players comfortable on Pulsar Pro, 100+ on Plus. CS2 = 1 server up to 24 players on any plan. Modded Rust = 100 players on Pulsar Plus, 150+ on Ultra. FiveM = 32 players on Plus, 64+ on Ultra. If unsure, email us your game and target player count and we'll guide you.
Is the DDoS protection real or just light layer-7?
Real. Layer 3/4 mitigation at the network level, Tbps capacity, enabled by default. Works against carpet bombs, UDP floods, SYN floods and amplification attacks — the classics used to drop game servers from any cheap stresser panel. It is the same carrier layer protecting our entire Amsterdam network, not a separate gaming filter.
What if rivals try to drop me with a saturating attack?
Malicious traffic is absorbed by the carrier before reaching your VPS. Your server keeps running, your players stay connected. If the attack is massively large and sustained we can escalate the case to reinforce the mitigation at no cost — but most commercial stress attacks fall against the standard filter without you even noticing.
