What is a private gaming server?

A private game server is a computer server that acts as a host for other computers to connect to it as a client to be used to play a personal computer (PC) game. This is often used for multiplayer games, especially those that can have a single player component but also allow for multiplayer experiences. Using such a server can provide players with a private experience, often preferred by members of clans or game groups. A private game server is typically legal to operate, as long as all players have purchased the game legally and are using the game in accordance with the license provided with it.

There are a number of companies that can provide players with a private gaming server, and these are often rented at a monthly fee. Many PC games can be played with multiple people at the same time. When this is done, a machine typically has to act as a host for the current game and other players connect to that server as a client. Using a computer as a server that also runs the game for a player can be problematic; using a private gaming server often relieves the load on client machines.

When a player’s computer is used as a server, instead of using a private game server, the player on that machine may experience performance problems due to the processor requirements necessary to act as a server. It is also possible that the host player may have better functionality with the game, since other players are communicating remotely with the server, while the host player is using the server directly. To avoid these This type of server can be rented by different companies, with prices that vary a lot depending on the size of the server needed and the game you are playing.

The use of a private game server is generally legal, although this may depend on the copies of the game used on client computers and how the server is used. If all copies have been purchased legally, they can typically be used with a game server. The End User License Agreement (EULA) that comes with a PC game usually indicates how the game can be used for multiplayer purposes, including the use of a private game server. Games that charge fees based on the use of a server, such as MMO (massively multiplayer online) games, often do not allow the use of private servers, and connecting to those servers may violate the terms of use of a game.
