SAVE & SWAP TO ANY OTHER GAME, FOR NO ADDITIONAL COST.Low Latency (No Lag) Servers with DDoS Protection
We're gamers too, and we know that nothing is more frustrating than lag and crashes.
Unlike other The Forest server hosting providers, we make sure not to overburden our servers— this means we average only 12 customers per device. This allows your instance to access more CPU cores, disk IOs, and RAM. More power per user means you will have protection against the common headaches of lag and crashes.
- 3.8+ GHz Processor (CPU)
Our servers primarily use an Intel® Xeon® E-2174G or equivalent.
- 64GB ECC RAM
Error correcting and highly clocked, this RAM is deployed for high speed performance and stability.
- Enterprise Grade Solid State Drives (SSD)
We use Enterprise SSDs to power all customer game servers.
- Enterprise Grade Hard Disk
We host our game servers on the SSD, but backups, the OS, and other files not required by your game server are run on standard disks.
- DDoS Protection and High Performance Network
DDoS attacks are a constant threat to game servers. Our network is built for network attack resilience.
- Linux OS
We've built our entire infrastructure on top of a Linux ecosystem to focus on performance, security, and stability.
