Frequently asked questions

Do I need a VPS, Cloud, or Dedicated server?

It depends on the game and your community size. Lightweight games like Among Us or Valheim for a small group of friends run fine on a Cloud server from €3.90/mo. Games like FiveM, Rust, or Palworld with 30–50+ players need a VPS or Dedicated server. Each game page on this site includes 2–3 recommended configurations with specs and prices.

Why does unlimited bandwidth matter for game servers?

Games like FiveM stream custom vehicles, textures, and audio packs to every connecting player. Rust sends continuous world-state updates to all clients. Minecraft with resource packs transfers files on each connection. A server plan with a 1 TB/month cap can be exhausted within days on a busy game server. Dedimax includes unlimited traffic on all plans — no overage fees, no throttling.

Can I install mods and custom scripts?

Yes. All Dedimax plans include full root access (SSH). Install any software, game server binary, mod loader, or script manager — Paper, Spigot, Forge, ESX, QBCore, Oxide, BepInEx — whatever your game requires. There are no restrictions on what you run on your server.

What happens if my server gets DDoS attacked?

Game servers are common targets for DDoS attacks. Dedimax includes network-level DDoS protection on all plans at no extra cost. Our infrastructure automatically detects and mitigates attacks, keeping your server online without any action required from you.

How fast can I get my server running?

Cloud and VPS plans deploy instantly — you receive your server credentials within seconds and can install your game server software immediately. Most dedicated server configurations are delivered within 24–48 hours. Check each game page for delivery time per config tier.

Can I switch games on the same server?

Yes. Your server is yours. You can reinstall the operating system, change the game server binary, or run multiple games on different ports simultaneously. Full root access means no restrictions — use your server however you want.
