GGServers

GGServers is a game server host that describes itself on its about page as a Canadian based business serving customers since 2013. The terms of service name GGServers Ltd, though they give no registered address, company number or parent company. Minecraft is the centre of the catalogue, with ten monthly plans from Stone at USD 3.00 for 1024 MB of RAM and 12 player slots to Beacon at USD 96.00 for 32768 MB with unlimited slots.

Other titles are priced as from-prices per month, ranging from USD 3 for Minecraft to USD 36 for Scum. Servers run on a customised Pterodactyl control panel, and the home page lists nine locations across North America, Europe, Asia and Australia, each marked Premium or Budget. Hardware depends on that hosting type rather than on the plan chosen.

• Ten Minecraft plans. The Minecraft page runs from Stone (1024 MB RAM, 12 slots) to Beacon (32768 MB, unlimited slots), all on unmetered SSD storage. Each plan shows a second price beside the first, which the page does not label.
• Budget or Performance hardware. Standard (Budget) uses 3.2 to 4 GHz CPUs, DDR4 at 2133 MHz and SOFT RAID 1 SSD. Premium (Performance) uses 4.4 to 5 GHz CPUs with high priority, DDR4 at 2400 MHz and NVMe storage.
• Customised Pterodactyl panel. Game servers are managed in a modified Pterodactyl panel with plugin auto-setup, automatic log and crash scanning, Geyser auto-setup, a whitelist editor, console access and full FTP access.
• Free server importer. The home page lists a free importer for moving an existing server across. The pages we read do not describe which file formats or panels it accepts, or how long a transfer takes.
• DDoS protection. The home page advertises 80 Gbps of DDoS protection applied automatically, with 20-minute mitigation. It does not say who operates the filtering or whether it differs between the Premium and Budget locations.
• Java and Bedrock support. Both Minecraft editions are listed, with one-click modpack and plugin installs, FTP and MySQL database access. Geyser auto-setup in the panel is the route for letting Bedrock players join a Java server.
• Wide game list. The game page names Arma 3, Counter-Strike 2, Garry's Mod, Hytale, Palworld, Rust, Valheim, 7 Days To Die, Terraria and DayZ, priced from USD 3 to USD 36 per month, without limits shown for those prices.

• A Minecraft community on a small budget. The USD 3.00 Stone plan with 12 slots suits a friends-only world, and the ladder of ten plans leaves room to move up as the player count grows without changing provider.
• A modded server owner. One-click modpack and plugin installs, crash scanning in the panel and the free importer fit someone moving a running modded world from another host and wanting fewer manual steps.
• A group running a different game. Titles such as Rust at USD 12 or ARK at USD 24 per month are listed as from-prices. A buyer should confirm what resources sit behind them, since the game page shows none.

The pages we read describe plans and the panel rather than a step-by-step setup procedure. In practice a buyer picks a game or a Minecraft plan, chooses between Budget and Performance hardware and a location marked Premium or Budget, and then pays monthly. The home page advertises a 20 per cent discount on the first invoice with the code TAKE20, and the pages read show no trial period, so a first purchase is a paid one.

After ordering, the control panel offers console access, FTP, plugin and modpack installers and the importer. Support is reachable by live chat and ticket, with a stated 30-minute average ticket response time that is the vendor's own figure. Before paying, check the second, unlabelled price beside each Minecraft plan.

GGServers Ltd describes itself as a Canadian business serving customers since 2013. Minecraft comes in ten plans from 1 GB to 32 GB, with hardware set by a Standard or Premium choice rather than by plan. A second, unlabelled price sits beside each plan price, so ask what it means. The terms state no address, company number or governing law.

GGServers is entry #7 of 14 in the game server hosting list: it follows Host Havoc and comes before Nodecraft. No numeric score is attached; established products follow the challengers in their ranked order.

Home market: Canada, one of 6 North America bases among the 14 products here.

Charging model: Monthly per plan, with per-game from-prices in dollars; Budget and Performance hardware types.

Minecraft plans are billed monthly and shown in dollars without a currency code. Stone costs USD 3.00 per month for 1024 MB RAM and 12 slots, and Beacon costs USD 96.00 per month for 32768 MB RAM with unlimited slots. A second price appears beside each plan and the page does not say what it means, so it is worth asking support before ordering. The game server page gives from-prices per month: USD 3 for Minecraft, USD 6 for Counter-Strike 2, USD 12 for Hytale and Rust, USD 24 for ARK and Palworld and USD 36 for Scum, with no CPU, RAM, storage or slot limits shown. A 20 per cent first-invoice discount applies with the code TAKE20. The pages read show no trial period, and they state no refund terms.

Read from ggservers.com when Best Game Server Hosting in 2026 was last reviewed (13 November 2026).

The home page advertises 80 Gbps of DDoS protection and locations from Montreal to Australia, marked Premium or Budget.

Support is listed as live chat and tickets with a 30-minute average response.

The privacy policy says the company does not sell, trade or rent personal information, while aggregated, non-identifying demographic data may be shared with business partners, affiliates and advertisers. It names no countries or data centres for storage and no sub-processors. A logged-in client can request deletion of client data by support ticket.

The policy does not address data export, names no GDPR representative and does not mention encryption. It says the company adopts appropriate security measures without describing them. The terms of service carry a 2026 copyright line but state no governing law, which matters for a buyer outside Canada.
