Nodex And Vultr
Vultr is an independent global cloud computing and infrastructure-as-a-service (IaaS) provider that offers high-performance cloud compute, storage, and bare metal servers. Nodex can create Vultr High Frequency instances directly from the dashboard and connect them as nodes. High Frequency plans suit game servers because they offer higher performance per CPU core, and most game servers run on a single core.
