Light Hosting Blog: Server, Hosting and Game Server Guides

Practical guides written by our technical team: choosing a server, game server performance, security and migration.

Home / Blog

What you will find here

This blog answers the questions our support team receives most often: how much RAM a game server needs, why a FiveM server lags, how to connect over SSH or Remote Desktop, how to measure disk speed and how DDoS protection actually works.

Every guide is written from real setups rather than marketing copy. If you are choosing a plan, start with VDS, VPS and shared hosting; if you already have a server, the performance and security guides will be more useful.
