Hosting Simulator

Hosting Simulator is a technical management simulation about building and running a data center. You begin in an empty, dusty room and expand it into a global facility while handling customer demands, electricity bills and overheating hardware.

Build your data center

Place rack cabinets, generators, routers and cooling units around the room. Build servers by choosing a CPU and adding RAM, HDDs and a PSU to the motherboard. Connect devices with CAT6 network cables and power cables; animated data flow shows how information moves, and each machine needs both power and internet.

Run the servers

Connect to a server’s monitor to install Windows Server or Ubuntu Linux, browse the file system and enter real commands in the virtual Terminal or CMD. Accept hosting contracts for services ranging from small Minecraft servers to large corporate databases, then meet the agreed uptime or face heavy penalties.

Manage systems and costs

Track temperature and watt consumption, and provide stable power with generators and UPS units. Without proper industrial cooling, servers crash above 85°C. The systems affect one another: adding RAM increases heat and power consumption, while a poorly designed network can leave clients dissatisfied.

Choose Easy mode for a more relaxed experience or Hard mode for a greater challenge. You can also set how often the game saves in the background, and customize the facility with add-on content such as digital RGB Gamer Racks.
