Yep — this is our ad
What you actually get
Yes, this is an ad. Yes, we'd love your money. And yes — we're still going to be straighter with you than the host you're on right now. In a market this full of "up to," "powerful," and "unlimited," the only thing left that actually works is telling you the truth. So here's the honest column, sitting right next to the one everyone else writes.
Let's get the obvious out of the way. We're a host. We want you to rent a server from us. We're not going to do the thing where we pretend that's not what's happening. But the part we genuinely care about more than the sale: we want you to spend the night playing the game with your friends — not reading a wiki to work out which
.ini value just nuked your world. Configure less. Play more. The hardware honesty below is just how we earn the right to say that.| What you're comparing | AcidNodes | The typical host |
|---|---|---|
| The CPU you run on | Named: Ryzen 9 9950X — shown on our proof page in real command output. | "Powerful enterprise-grade hardware." Which chip, exactly? They'd rather not say. |
| Your RAM | Guaranteed and dedicated, carved out of a box we deliberately keep far from full. | Often "up to," often shared. Fine — right up until everyone logs on at once. |
| The price | Flat $2.75/GB, same on every game, right on the page. Do the math yourself. | Published… then quietly tied to player slots, "premium" add-ons, and a renewal that isn't the intro rate. |
| Player slots | You set the cap. The price doesn't move. We sell hardware, not seats. | Frequently billed per player. More friends, more money. |
| Is the box oversold? | Never — kernel-enforced caps, and we'll docker inspect yours while you watch. | "Don't worry about it." (Reader, you should probably worry about it.) |
| Can you verify any of it? | Every number here is on /proof as real terminal output — re-run on request, before you've paid a cent. | A stock photo of a server rack with a blue glow. |
| Who actually runs it | The GamesOMG team — the people who wrote the config tools you already use. | A support tier. |
About that right-hand column: we're describing the industry's typical pattern, not pinning a specific quote on a specific competitor — partly because it's a moving target, mostly because we don't need to. Every claim in our column is a link or a command you can check yourself. That's the only column anyone can actually stand behind, so it's the only one we'll put our name on.
Don't trust a comparison table written by the company that wins it. Good instinct — keep it. So don't take the table's word for anything: inspect the actual box → the named CPU, the real RAM, the enforced caps, in command output we'll re-run live if you ask.
Valheim from $11 · Enshrouded from $22 · Palworld & Windrose from $33 · Conan from $44 — all $2.75/GB, all on the same box above.
