From bare metal to game servers
We do the heavy lifting on the machine so you never have to touch a command line.
Pick your machine
Choose a bare metal dedicated server sized for your community — every core, all the RAM, and NVMe storage reserved entirely for you. No noisy neighbours, no virtualization overhead.
We provision & deploy the panel
We install and harden the operating system, then deploy the GameServerKings game panel onto your machine so it works exactly like the panel you already know — just running on hardware that is 100% yours.
We keep it maintained
OS patches, security updates, panel upgrades, and hardware monitoring are all handled by our team. If a disk shows wear or an update is due, we take care of it — usually before you notice.
You run your game servers
Spin up as many game servers as the machine can hold from the panel — one-click installs, mods, backups, and live consoles — with every ounce of the hardware dedicated to you.
Powerful Server Management
Every server comes with our feature-rich game panel — manage your server from anywhere with no technical expertise required.
us-dal-01.gsk.net:25565Live Server Console
Monitor your server in real time with a built-in console, live CPU, memory, and network graphs, plus one-click start, restart, and stop controls.
us-dal-01.gsk.net:25565Full File Manager
Browse, upload, edit, and manage all your server files directly from the panel — no FTP client needed. Drag and drop uploads, bulk actions, and more.
us-dal-01.gsk.net:25565DIFFICULTYMAX_PLAYERSPVPMOTDStartup Configuration
Fine-tune every aspect of your server with an intuitive variable editor. Selects, toggles, and validated inputs replace fragile command-line flags.
us-dal-01.gsk.net:25565Automated Backups
Create on-demand or scheduled backups with one click. Lock critical snapshots, download them for offsite storage, or restore in seconds.
We run the machine. You run the games.
A clear split: everything underneath the panel is on us, everything inside it is yours.
What we manage
What you control
Firewall Manager
Full control over your network security with an advanced firewall manager built for game server operators
Granular Rule Manager
Create precise firewall rules per IP with source, destination port, protocol, and action controls. Copy rules between IPs or apply default drop profiles in one click.
Attack History & Analytics
Full visibility into past and ongoing attacks with detailed logs, traffic graphs, and mitigation stats so you always know what hit you and how it was handled.
Edge Packet Caching
Offload repetitive query traffic like A2S with edge caching. Responses are served at the network edge, reducing load on your server and keeping latency low.
Per-IP Configuration
Every IP on your dedicated server gets its own independent firewall profile. Tailor rules and protections per service without affecting your other workloads.
The Best DDoS Protection
Always ActiveAll services come with comprehensive L4 and L7 DDoS protection powered by Cosmic Global Networks, ensuring your infrastructure stays secure and available 24/7.

Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about managed dedicated hosting with GameServerKings
It is an entire bare metal machine reserved exclusively for you, with the GameServerKings game panel deployed on top and the underlying operating system, updates, and security managed by our team. You get the performance and isolation of dedicated hardware without having to administer the box yourself.
We manage the hardware, network, DDoS protection, operating system, security patches, and the game panel itself — keeping everything updated and healthy. You manage your game servers through the panel: installs, mods, configuration, backups, and players. In short, we keep the machine running so you can focus on your communities.
The same GameServerKings game panel that powers our shared game servers — a Pterodactyl-based control panel with live consoles, a full file manager, startup configuration, scheduled tasks, and one-click backups. If you have used our game hosting before, it will feel immediately familiar.
Yes. Unlike a shared game server or a VPS, a managed dedicated server is a whole physical machine. Every CPU core, all of the RAM, and the full NVMe storage are reserved for you alone — there are no other tenants competing for resources.
We handle them for you. Our team applies OS updates, security patches, and panel upgrades, and we monitor the hardware around the clock. Scheduled maintenance is coordinated so it has minimal impact on your running servers.
Absolutely. You can run as many game servers side by side as the hardware can comfortably hold, all from a single panel. It is a popular choice for communities running several games, competitive events, or a mix of game servers and supporting services.
Pick a dedicated machine that fits your needs, or talk to our team and we will recommend the right configuration. Once your server is provisioned we deploy the panel and hand it over ready to use — typically within minutes for in-stock hardware.
