Get Conan Exiles Server Hosting →Our New Zealand data centre is in Auckland and provides strong game server connectivity across the country. Players from Northland to Southland connect to a server in their own country instead of one across the Tasman or the Pacific.
Our Auckland location runs on multiple network carriers, including Verizon, Vodafone, Tata and AboveNet. Carrier diversity means more routing options, steadier performance at peak times and fewer single points of failure for your players.
New Zealand servers run on AMD Ryzen 9 3900X processors, with Xeon-E and Intel i9 servers on some nodes, paired with NVMe SSD storage. Fast processors handle the per-tick work that multiplayer games demand, and NVMe storage keeps world loads and restarts quick.
Every New Zealand plan is backed by a 100% network uptime SLA. Redundant power and networking keep your server online through peak hours and busy weekends.
Every server in Auckland runs behind DDoS-protected 1Gbps connections. Attack traffic is absorbed at the network level before it reaches your game, so your players can keep playing.
Our Auckland data centre has on-site staff 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, so hardware and network issues can be handled quickly at any hour.
Your New Zealand game server is live within minutes of ordering. Choose your game, select Auckland and start configuring your world straight away.
Manage everything from one dashboard, with a live console, a file manager with FTP access and one-click backup restores. You stay in control of your server without needing a technical background.
Instead of routing New Zealand players to Australia or further away, our Auckland location gives Kiwi communities a server in their own country, with the same hardware, protection and support as our global network.
Playing with friends across the Tasman? Compare our Auckland location with our Australian game server locations and choose the one that suits the whole group.
Our support team is available around the clock. Real people answer every ticket, whether you need help installing mods, moving an existing world or getting your server online for the first time.
Start with the resources you need today and upgrade as your community grows. Every plan includes a 48-hour refund period and you can cancel anytime.
Distance is one of the biggest factors in ping that you can control. Hosting your server in Auckland shortens the route between your players and the game, which keeps combat responsive and movement smooth.
For communities spread across several regions, our global game server network lets you compare locations before you choose. Our guide on how to choose a game server location explains how ping, routing and player distribution affect the decision.
