About this site
About GameServerBench
GameServerBench helps people choose and run game servers, using evidence that can be checked. It reads hosts' published prices, refund terms and acceptable-use rules, compares what developers and sellers say a server needs, and sets out how hosts could be fairly measured.
The site has not measured any host. There is no test rig and no test server, and no tick rate, latency figure or capacity number on this site comes from GameServerBench. When a page quotes a performance figure, it names who published it and whether that publisher sells hosting.
Who runs GameServerBench
GameServerBench is operated by Unbounded Frontier LLC. You can reach the site through the contact page.
What you can rely on here
Commercial and technical pages carry an evidence status, usually one of the two below. Method pages describe a plan and state their status in their own words.
| Label | What it means |
|---|---|
| Source-based | Written from published documentation, prices and reports, with the date each was read |
| Complete | A policy or site page with nothing outstanding |
Prices and terms change. Each page shows when it was last reviewed, and the source link beside a fact is the place to confirm it before you buy.
Why the site is built this way
Published "best host" lists are often written by a company that sells hosting and ranks itself first, or by affiliate sites that describe a test without showing the data. GameServerBench earns from affiliate links too, once they exist, so it is not free of that conflict. The answer is to show the working: the independence and host terms page sets out the conflicts and what each host's terms say about testing, and the planned test method sets out what would be measured and what stands in the way.
How the site makes money
The plan is affiliate commissions from hosting companies. No affiliate links are live yet. The disclosure page explains how this will work. If you find a mistake, the corrections page explains how to report it. Use of the site is covered by the terms of use and the privacy policy.
