Low-Latency Game Server Hosting on Bare Metal
High tick rates, low ping, DDoS-protected — the fastest game servers in the North, online in minutes.
How much does game server hosting cost?
Game server hosting typically ranges from about $3 to $250+ per month depending on RAM, player slots and whether it's shared or dedicated. Entry Minecraft and shared plans start low (often $3-$15/mo), while large communities or competitive titles on dedicated bare-metal run $80-$250+/mo — our Dedicated Game Server plan sits in that range at $99/mo.

What is the best Minecraft server hosting?
The best Minecraft hosting gives you dedicated resources, instant setup, one-click modpacks/plugins and low ping for your players. NordicVentures runs Minecraft on NVMe bare-metal in Stockholm, Frankfurt and Ashburn so European and US players get low latency from the same panel.
How much RAM do I need for a Minecraft server?
A small vanilla server runs comfortably on 2-4 GB RAM, modded servers usually want 6-8 GB+, and large communities or heavy modpacks benefit from 8-16 GB. We let you scale RAM and slots without migrating servers.
Does low latency really matter for game servers?
Yes. Lower latency and higher tick rates reduce lag and rubber-banding, which is critical for competitive and real-time games. Hosting on dedicated cores and NVMe near your players, rather than oversold shared hardware, gives the most consistent performance.
Can I get instant setup and mod support?
Yes. Servers provision near-instantly with a full control panel, one-click modpack and plugin installs, automatic backups and config access, so you can be online in minutes for Minecraft, Rust, ARK, Valheim and more.
Do you provide DDoS protection for game servers?
Yes. All game servers include always-on, enterprise-grade DDoS protection to keep your community online during attacks and competitive events, with additional mitigation tiers available.
