    Daily automated off-site backups protect your progress, with instant 1-click snapshots and easy restoration anytime.

Bare-metal hardware, built for play

Every game server runs on bare metal at the Digital Parks Africa (DPA) data centre in Centurion, Gauteng, so players in South Africa and the rest of southern Africa connect without routing overseas. Standard nodes use Intel Xeon Gold 6230 CPUs, and low-density Premium nodes use Intel Xeon E-2336 CPUs (up to 4.8GHz turbo) for stronger single-thread performance.

Standard
  • Intel Xeon Gold 6230

    Reliable multi-core Xeon power for active communities

  • DDR4 ECC memory

    High-stability error-correcting memory

  • 1 Gbps uplinks

    Dedicated 1 Gbps low-latency uplinks

  • NVMe/SSD drives

    High-speed NVMe/SSD for fast world loading
