About This Game

Hytale Server Hosting in London

Preparing a London-based game server for Hytale's launch.

Hytale 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. London is the UK's premier data centre hub, home to LINX - one of the world's largest internet exchanges - and major facilities including Telehouse North and Equinix LD8. Hosting your Hytale server in London means typically under 20ms latency for players across Southern England and ultra-low latency for London-based players. Our London infrastructure uses AMD Ryzen 9 7950X compute and NVMe Gen4 SSD storage, positioned on 100G DWDM uplinks with transit via NTT and GTT. When Hytale launches with dedicated server support, London will be the optimal UK location.

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.

Why Glitch Servers

Hardware Built for Game Server Performance

Game servers demand high single-core clock speeds, fast storage for map loading, and DDoS protection as standard - not an upsell.

Getting Started

How to Get Your Server Running

Most servers are online within minutes of ordering.

1

Step 1

Deploy a London VPS and verify latency to your community members using ping/mtr. London routing from most UK ISPs (BT, Sky, Virgin, Vodafone) via LINX exchange keeps round-trip times low.

2

Step 2

Set up your server environment (Ubuntu 22.04) and configure firewall rules in advance. Game server ports will be published by Hypixel Studios at launch.

3

Step 3

Join Hytale's community Discord and watch for dedicated server documentation. When the binary is available, installation on your London VPS will follow the same Linux deployment pattern as other Java/Go-based game servers.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

London is the interconnection hub of the UK internet - LINX (London Internet Exchange) and LONAP (London Network Access Point) are both located in London and carry the majority of UK ISP traffic. Glitch Servers holds direct peering at both LINX and LONAP through AS212868, meaning traffic from BT, Sky, Virgin Media, TalkTalk, and other major UK ISPs reaches a London-connected server without transiting any overseas exchange points. The result is sub-5ms round-trip times for a large proportion of UK residential broadband customers, compared to 30–80ms for servers hosted in mainland Europe. At Hytale's anticipated release scale, London-based UK infrastructure provides the shortest possible path to the largest concentration of potential UK players.
London launch-day server demand for popular games frequently exceeds what single-provider infrastructure can absorb - choosing a network provider with direct LINX and LONAP peering rather than transit-only connectivity means your server's upstream capacity benefits from multiple peering paths rather than a single transit link. Glitch Servers operates 100G DWDM uplinks and NTT and GTT Tier-1 transit in addition to direct peering, providing redundant upstream capacity that resists the congestion common at launch events. Our Corero Smartwall inline protection also mitigates launch-day attack traffic - high-profile game launches routinely attract opportunistic DDoS activity - without the latency overhead of cloud scrubbing.
Yes - London's position as a major internet exchange hub means routing from Western Europe is also efficient through LINX and LONAP peering, with French, German, Dutch, and Belgian players typically seeing 10–25ms latency to London-hosted servers. NTT and GTT Tier-1 transit provide optimised paths to North America and Asia-Pacific as well, making a London-hosted Hytale server a reasonable choice for mixed UK and EU communities rather than a compromise option. For communities that are predominantly UK-based but include European members, London offers better average latency across the full player base than any single EU continental location, because UK players represent the largest segment with the most to gain from the LINX/LONAP peering advantage.
