Add-on · recommendedWe set it up for you
Cache server
You know the drill: restart, whitelist drop, event – and suddenly 80 players are pulling maps, cars and clothing from the game server. The cache server takes exactly that traffic off your hands. Your players join noticeably faster. Your game server sticks to what it's there for: running the game, not serving files.
As former server owners, we know when a cache becomes a must – and we set it up cleanly for you. You book the add-on in the configurator, we do the rest.
Faster joins
Resources come from the cache instead of the game server – shorter queues, more players who stay.
Game server relieved
Gigabytes of assets no longer weigh on your game instance – CPU and network stay free for roleplay.
Stable at peak & restart
When everyone wants in at once, the cache absorbs the download storm – saving you chaos and Discord tickets.
Set up by us
No Nginx guesswork: we set up the cache server and wire it to your server – ready to play.

Explained
What is roleplay hosting?
Renting a roleplay server means you need stable CPU, enough RAM and fast NVMe storage for scripts, maps, vehicles and simultaneous player connections – not just a generic game server slot. ForgeHost delivers roleplay hosting on a VPS basis in Eygelshoven (NL), close to the German border: fixed resources, DDoS protection included, optional cache server for faster joins, plus installation service or game server panel. The packages come from former roleplay server owners and are designed for roleplay communities – from whitelist groups to high-pop events. In the configurator you can add a domain, web space and TeamSpeak with a bundle discount, all from a single checkout.

Use cases
Which package suits you?
Choose your use case and jump straight to the packages.
For most communities, renting a roleplay VPS is the fastest way: fixed CPU, RAM and NVMe, optional cache server, installation or game server panel – without having to set up Linux, firewall and game server from scratch. A root server for roleplay is worthwhile if you want to control the entire VM yourself (Docker, your own panels, multiple services). In that case, take our KVM server without the roleplay bundle. Slot-based game servers are suited to Minecraft & co. – for roleplay and heavy script stacks, our game server packages are the better choice.

Roleplay
Rent a roleplay server
Renting a roleplay server means more than just starting the server: whitelist applications often need a website, staff communicates via TeamSpeak, and frameworks like ESX or QBCore want a stable MySQL/MariaDB environment. ForgeHost bundles all of that: roleplay hosting on VPS, optional installation service (server, database, web server) or game server panel with SFTP, server build and server files at the click of a button. The optional cache server relieves the game server of maps, clothing and vehicles – especially during restarts and many simultaneous joins. This way you launch your roleplay community without three separate providers.
Whitelist and public RP on fixed VPS hardware
Framework-ready: enough RAM/CPU for scripts and jobs
Bundle: domain, web space and voice in the same checkout
Guidance
Which game server package for which community?
Rough guidance based on typical roleplay setups – you can see the exact specs in the packages.
S
Whitelist & friends group
Entry-level for small roleplay groups: enough CPU and RAM for basic scripts, jobs and quiet sessions without public peaks.
M
Mid-pop community
Regular players, more resources and maps – typical for established whitelist communities with their own economy.
L
High-pop & events
Many simultaneous connections, peak load and large asset packs – a stronger package plus an optional cache server pays off here.
Location & latency
Your server runs in Eygelshoven (NL) via SkyLink – close to the German border, connected to DE-CIX and AMS-IX for low ping times across the DACH region. You can trace ping and routing in the Looking Glass and on the network page at any time.
In the customer portal and optionally with the game server panel, you manage your game server in the browser: start/stop, files and SFTP users, server build and server files at the click of a button. Plus usage, network statistics and backups – no SSH required for everyday tasks.
Frequently asked questions about renting a roleplay server
Answers about roleplay hosting, renting a VPS, root servers, cache servers and bundles.
A game server package combines powerful VPS resources with a configurator for bundles: optionally web space, TeamSpeak, domain discount and cache server – all in one order. The packages were designed with input from former roleplay server owners.
Yes. At forgehost.de/roleplay-server you can book roleplay hosting on a VPS basis in Eygelshoven (NL) – incl. DDoS protection, optional cache server, installation service or game server panel, plus bundle options for domain, web space and TeamSpeak.
Renting a roleplay VPS means your server runs on a virtual machine with fixed CPU, RAM and NVMe values – not on shared game slots. You get the performance of a VPS, tuned for roleplay scripts and communities, plus optional extras like cache server and game server panel.
Not necessarily. For most communities our game server packages (VPS basis with roleplay bundle) are enough. You only need a bare root server / KVM if you want to administer the entire VM yourself – in that case see forgehost.de/vps. With the game server panel option you get panel management on the root server without having to set everything up by hand.
We come from the roleplay community ourselves and have run servers. The specifications and bundles reflect what matters in practice – not just marketing numbers.
Roleplay servers often need more CPU, RAM and bandwidth for scripts, maps and many players. Regular game servers target slot-based games like Minecraft. Our game server packages run on a VPS basis – ideal for ESX, QBCore and larger roleplay communities. You can book other games at forgehost.de/gameserver.
Yes. The VPS resources are designed for frameworks and databases. With the optional installation service we set up the roleplay server, MariaDB/MySQL and web server for you.

A cache server delivers resource downloads (maps, vehicles, clothing etc.) from the cache instead of directly from the game server.
