GameServersKings review
A control-focused Core Keeper host for groups that want backups, mods, and server access.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
GameServersKings provides hosted Core Keeper servers for small gaming groups and communities. Its web-based control panel includes a live server console, resource graphs, a file manager, FTP/SFTP access, and a startup configuration editor. Core Keeper servers support up to eight players, fixed Game IDs, multiple world indexes, configurable RAM, NVMe storage, and CPU resources. Instant activation and later resource resizing suit groups that want to adjust their server as their needs change.
The published monthly plans are Starter at $7.80, Standard at $15.40, and Ultimate at $27. Each listed plan includes instant activation, DDoS protection, 24/7 support, mod and plugin support, FTP/SFTP access, and automatic 24-hour backups. The Core Keeper service has four available locations across North America and Europe. Servers can be canceled without a contract, while annual billing is described as 5–17% off. For groups comparing tiers, the plan pages present the same highlighted feature set, so the main buying decision is the monthly price and the resource level selected for the server.
Backup and administration tools are the strongest fit here. Automatic 24-hour off-site backups help protect worlds, while on-demand and scheduled backup slots add control over recovery points. Multiple world indexes, fixed Game IDs, mod and plugin support, and file access give server administrators more ways to manage a community than a basic hosted game instance. DDoS filtering and 24/7 support add operational coverage. GameServersKings should suit groups that value configuration access and backup controls; groups needing more than eight players or a free starting option should look elsewhere.
