UK & Worldwide Server Locations
Low-latency Windrose game servers hosted from UK datacentres and locations across Europe, North America, and Asia-Pacific. Enjoy minimal ping and smooth gameplay wherever your crew is based.
Enterprise-Grade Hardware
Windrose is a demanding open-world multiplayer game with physics-heavy naval combat, procedural world generation, and persistent worlds. That's why we host on genuinely top-tier hardware rather than oversold shared boxes — every spec below is what you actually get on our Windrose fleet.
AMD Ryzen 9 9950X
16 cores, 32 threads, latest-gen Zen 5 architecture. High single-thread clock speeds — which is what game servers actually need — combined with enough parallel capacity to handle AI, physics, and multiple worlds without stutter.
DDR5 Memory
Significantly higher bandwidth and lower latency than DDR4. Matters for large multiplayer worlds where entity counts, ship physics, and save-state operations push memory throughput hard.
Enterprise NVMe SSDs
Ultra-fast read/write speeds for near-instant world loads, rapid autosaves, and fast offsite backups. No spinning disks, no SATA SSDs — NVMe only across our entire Windrose fleet.

Dedicated Resources

Full Control
Tweak difficulty multipliers, edit JSON configs, install mods, manage whitelists, set passwords, schedule restarts — every setting is yours from the GTX control panel.
Best Pricing
Plans from just £8.40 per month with no surprise fees, no hidden upgrades, and no compromises on hardware. Pay for what you actually get — top-tier dedicated hosting.
