Unlock your game’s potential with i3D.net

Launching and running a successful online game comes with unique challenges. From unpredictable player spikes during launch or events to the constant pressure of delivering smooth, lag-free gameplay, game studios face a complex landscape. One critical decision is choosing the right hosting infrastructure that can handle this uncertainty without breaking the budget.

Many studios start by turning to the major public cloud providers like AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud. While these platforms offer great flexibility and attractive free credits at first, the real costs quickly become unclear once your game gains traction. The pay-as-you-go model can lead to unexpectedly high bills, especially with volatile traffic patterns typical in online gaming.

That’s where i3D.net offers a powerful alternative. By hosting their online games on dedicated bare-metal servers, studios gain better control over costs while ensuring optimal performance. Bare-metal servers eliminate the noisy neighbor problem common in shared cloud environments, delivering consistently stable and low-latency performance for their ephemeral game servers.

Coupled with one of the best gaming networks globally, consistently ranked in the top 3 for peering and connectivity, i3D.net provides more than just speed. Their low-latency network is designed to give players the shortest, most optimized paths possible; minimizing lag and delivering a seamless gaming experience worldwide.

Security is another critical pillar

Every server comes with their GLAD Anti-DDoS protection to shield your game from disruptive attacks. For studios needing advanced protection, they offer Warden, an enhanced Anti-DDoS solution that uses bit-matching and dynamic whitelists for precision filtering.
