Where to begin?

Rent a machine

The easiest way to get started is by renting a machine from a data center. It’s simple, reliable, and (in our opinion) the best option for hosting game servers.

Rented machines tend to offer better reliability than self-hosted ones, thanks to built-in redundancies in data centers. It's a robust and low-maintenance solution.

Self-hosted machine

Prefer to use your own setup? You can use a dedicated root machine on your home or office network with DediConnect.

What tech do we use?

Here’s a quick overview of the technology that powers DediConnect and how it keeps your servers running smoothly.

Docker

DediConnect uses Docker to containerize game servers and services. This approach ensures high reliability and stability with minimal downtime.

SSH

GSA uses SSH to securely connect to your machine.

During installation, GSA automatically switches from password auth to key auth for better security.

If you prefer, you can start directly with key auth by adding GSA's public key to your machine’s authorized_keys file.
If you're unsure how to do this, just stick with password authentication during setup.
