No Limits, Just Gaming—HardGaming Hosts Your World.
Since we launched in 2021, it’s been our mission to be recognized as the best game server host. Not necessarily the biggest, but the one who actually cares about the gamer experience and makes enterprise-grade server hosting accessible to all.
We’re not here to squeeze you into someone else’s idea of what game hosting should look like. At HardGaming, you get exactly what you need—no fluff, no gimmicks, and no shortcuts.
We’re privately owned, proudly independent, and fully focused on giving gamers the hosting experience they deserve. Whether you’re running a small private server for friends or hosting a massive community, we’re all about making your life easier.
Okay, that’s all just words, but here’s how we back it up:
We charge based on hardware usage, not player slots.
All our servers are hosted in a colocation facility in Dallas on enterprise-grade hardware.
No rented VPS servers—we own the hardware, so you get better uptime and lower costs.
Privacy is a priority—we only collect the data that’s actually necessary.
We use our own service for game hosting to constantly improve your experience.
We’ve built a hosting company that we want to use ourselves, and we think you’ll love it too!
Meet the maker
Hi, I’m James, the founder and technical lead here at HardGaming. For as long as I can remember, I’ve been that person who couldn’t leave a computer alone—I had to understand how it worked, how to make it faster, and how to fix it when it broke. That obsession turned into a career as a Linux admin and hardware engineer, where I’ve picked up a thing or two about keeping servers running at their best.
Back in 2021, I saw how careless most hosting companies were and decided to start my own. My goal was to provide a hosting experience that’s built for gamers, by someone who actually gets it. I’m hands-on every day, making sure HardGaming stays true to that mission.
When I’m not tweaking servers or working on upgrades, I’m gaming (of course) or brainstorming ways to improve what we do. HardGaming and being the best game server host is my passion, so thanks for letting us host your world—and keep on gaming!
