Built for game workloads

Serverside.com was designed to carry HostHavoc.com's heavy game hosting workload, which puts over 100,000 players online most nights. Every part of the network is built to withstand the demands that game traffic carries: latency-sensitive, bursty, and unforgiving of a bad path.
