London game servers with sub-10ms ping to UK players - AMD Ryzen, NVMe SSD, and always-on DDoS protection
Overview
Game Server Hosting in London from Glitch Servers provides low-latency UK game server infrastructure with always-on DDoS protection - backed by AMD Ryzen hardware, NVMe Gen4 storage, and UK-native routing through AS212868. Nothing ruins an online gaming session like lag, and server location is the single biggest factor in ping for UK players. Our London game server nodes sit in Telehouse North in Docklands, delivering typically under 20ms latency to players across Greater London and the South East - and typically under 35ms to most of the rest of the UK. AMD Ryzen 9 7950X processors handle the per-core demands of game server software with ease, while NVMe SSD storage ensures map loads and save operations are instant. Always-on DDoS protection keeps your server online during attacks without impacting ping for legitimate players.
Game server performance at Glitch runs on AMD Ryzen 9 7950X processors - the high single-core clock speeds that game server software depends on for physics calculations, entity management, and script execution. NVMe Gen4 storage eliminates the map-load pauses and save-cycle stutters that affect game servers on spinning-disk or SATA SSD storage.
Network routing through AS212868 with direct LINX and LONAP peering keeps British players on UK-native ISP paths, avoiding the 30–60ms additional latency that routing via Frankfurt or Amsterdam adds for players connecting from UK residential broadband. Corero Smartwall DDoS mitigation is always on - game servers are frequent targets for volumetric attacks, and scrubbing runs at the network edge without adding processing latency to legitimate player traffic.
All plans include full root or admin access for custom configuration, mod installation, and plugin management. No port restrictions. Full game server plan details are on the game server hosting page.
