Hytale is a resource-intensive platform. Choosing the wrong infrastructure leads to:
Performance bottlenecks
Poor scalability
Unnecessary costs
The decision between VDS and dedicated servers should be made early.
A VDS (Virtual Dedicated Server):
Runs on a physical server with allocated resources
Provides isolation and flexibility
Scales easily as your server grows
Lower initial cost
Fast deployment
Easy resource upgrades
Ideal for small to medium projects
Limited by physical host capacity
May not scale efficiently for very large projects
A dedicated server:
Assigns all physical resources to a single project
Delivers maximum performance and control
Highest CPU and disk performance
No resource sharing
Ideal for large player bases
Higher cost
Increased management and maintenance effort
Often unnecessary for early-stage projects
| Criteria | VDS | Dedicated |
|---|---|---|
| Initial Cost | Low | High |
| Scalability | High | Limited |
| Maximum Performance | Medium–High | Very High |
| Management | Easy | Complex |
| Small Projects | Suitable | Overkill |
You are launching a new Hytale server
Player count is under 50
You want controlled costs
You plan gradual scaling
You target 100+ concurrent players
You run large RPG or Mini-Game networks
Performance outweighs cost
You have technical staff
Many beginners think:
“I should buy the strongest server to be safe.”
This usually leads to:
Wasted budget
Underutilized resources
Low return on investment
The smarter approach is simple:
Start with VDS and upgrade to dedicated when necessary.
For Hytale servers:
Entry and mid-level projects → VDS
Large-scale professional projects → Dedicated servers
Success depends on:
Correct resource allocation
Proper timing
Budget efficiency
Launch your Hytale server on VDS and transition to a dedicated server as your player base grows to balance cost and performance effectively.
