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
Zap Hosting
Pros
- + Own hardware, own network and RIPE IP ranges across 8 locations on 4 continents — including Sydney
- + Game-aware DDoS protection (PletX, up to 4 Tbit/s filtering) included, live-tested on Twitch at 1.2 Tbit/s
- + 100+ game titles with one-click installers, mod packs and free game switching; panel included with VPS/dedicated
- + Lifetime (pay-once) plans alongside monthly; VPS line from about €2.99/month is genuinely competitive
- + 24/7 support across three channels with fast response in community feedback
Cons
- - Per-slot pricing inflates quickly: 4 GB costs €22.63/30 days at 40 slots vs €2.76 for 2 GB at 4 slots
- - Contradictory hardware claims across pages (Xeon E5-2650 v4 vs dual EPYC 7763) and older US hardware (Dell R720/HP C7000)
- - No published uptime SLA, refund policy or backup retention; billing/cancellation complaints in community feedback
- - Location surcharges up to +56% and currency display switching make true cost comparison hard
