Host Havoc has run game servers from Ottawa since 2013 and publishes 14 data-centre locations. Every game runs on its modified TCAdmin v2 platform, which bundles a web console, file manager, Steam Workshop installer, log viewer, off-site backups and one-click restores, and the company says average ticket response is under ten minutes.

Its game pages are unusually practical. The Arma Reforger page explains how to toggle Xbox, PlayStation and PC crossplay and install Workshop mods from the panel, the Garry's Mod page includes a MySQL database and one-click gamemode installers, and the Counter-Strike 2 guides cover Workshop maps, MetaMod and CounterStrikeSharp. Pricing is per slot: Garry's Mod and Counter-Strike 2 start at $10 a month for 20 slots, Arma Reforger at $20 for 40 slots.

The minimums are the weak spot. A five-player group still pays for 20 or 40 slots, and the satisfaction guarantee lasts only 72 hours. Owners who want root access can move to its Ryzen VPS line, which starts at $5 a month.
