Amazing service. Almost instantaneous replies to queries about my server, even in the early hours of the morning. Great mod support and extensive FAQ and modding tutorials in the knowledge bank. I would 100% recommend this service to anyone looking to rent a gaming server.

Our small game development company has been testing GSK's hosting services for a little over six months now. Here are some of our findings: 1. We utilized different server sizes, feature configurations and numbers of servers deployed for our testing purposes. 2. We tested server processing (calculation) performance levels, sustained server/network operations, alert signalling, support staff response and issue resolution timing. Testing Notes: 1. While the customer support staff we interacted with all seemed very dedicated and willing to assist, their efforts were regularly stymied by the performance of the actual hosting service itself and delays in communications. 2. We observed high network latency at times (>36.8 ms average over several hours), but generally experienced good connectivity. 3. The provided Game Management Console (GSK TCAdmin) is significantly simplified in the shared-server implementation. This is beneficial to new owners/admins/mods but somewhat limiting for experienced administrators, developers and technicians. Summary Results: The results of our six month trial period seem to indicate that GSK is an excellent platform for beginner and hobbyists level customers who have some previous experience in game server hosting. However, for those starting a professional or subscription-based service, GSK may actually make an already difficult task of building a loyal commercial audience and following extremely laborious. Engaging with your membership to explain or compensate them for extensive downtime hours (>80hrs in Q1 2020) is unlikely to be conducive to your overall success. It may even result in much higher support costs due to increased incident communication requirements between your staff and your membership. Additionally, these ongoing service issues (consisting largely of server/network hardware failures and unannounced maintenance or upgrades requiring restart) further complicate attaining success with online game performance reporting agencies (BattleMetrics, etc...), hosted game review sites (e.g.: hosting.review) and other resources important for building and maintaining an audience.

I bought a Rust server through GSK as a temporary measure as I needed a server within a few days. Two days in, I still hadn't been able to set up my server because a number of issues: - The game panel is extremely slow and poorly designed - The FTP access would copy *literally* half of my file or plugin - After the FTP issue was fixed, I could no longer connect to my server I spent most of those 2 days waiting on support to respond (which is fine if I wasn't on a deadline). I found another hosting company that had a 24/hour free trial and set up the server with all the same plugins, configuration, + database, in an hour. No problems. The only reason I'm not rating this lower is because they do have good and relatively responsive customer support. They gave me a full refund upon request. However, good customer support doesn't mean much if the servers or the panel and it's alternatives are non-functional
