GTXGaming
Pros
- + 198 games with new releases added at launch
- + 20 locations across Europe, North America and Asia-Pacific
- + DDoS protection and daily offsite backups included on every server
- + Clear per-game RAM pricing with unlimited player slots
- + Operating since 2008 — a long track record in game hosting
Cons
- - No published uptime SLA or credit schedule
- - Priced in GBP; per-game location lists vary
- - Some catalogue entries are 'coming soon', so the real game count is lower
- - No hourly billing, bare metal or GPU options
- - Custom control panel means relearning tooling if you migrate
Nodecraft
Pros
- + NodePanel is the best control panel in the game-hosting segment: dual-pane files, live console, form-based config, mobile apps
- + Game swapping across ~59 titles on the same server slot, with saved instances, at no extra cost
- + 28+ datacenter regions on five continents with a public per-game latency checker
- + Transparent published price ladder per RAM size with discounts for longer terms and a no-card 24-hour trial
- + Cloud backups included at no extra fee; automatic on Lite and Pro
- + AMD Ryzen 9/EPYC hardware with an explicit no-overselling policy and DDoS packet scrubbing
Cons
- - Support is business-hours US Central, not 24/7 — weak for weekend-evening incidents
- - Lite servers hibernate when unused; 24/7 reachability requires the Pro line
- - Premium pricing versus budget hosts like Shockbyte at most RAM tiers
- - No published contractual uptime SLA (the 99.9% figure is marketing phrasing)
- - Datacenter relocation is a ticket request rather than self-service
- - Smaller game catalog than Nitrado; no studio-partnered console exclusives
