Build, configure, and manage your own data center down to the smallest detail!

Hosting Simulator is not just a simple management game; it is a technical simulation where hardware precision meets the reality of server operations. Start with an empty, dusty room and evolve it into a global data center while battling customer demands, electricity bills, and overheating hardware.

KEY FEATURES

Total Hardware Freedom: Manually place rack cabinets, generators, routers, and cooling units anywhere in the room.

Modular Machine Building: Don’t just buy servers—build them! Select the right CPU and add enough RAM, HDDs, and a reliable PSU into the motherboard.

Graph-Based Cabling Simulation: Connect your devices with realistic network (CAT6) and power cables. Watch the animated data flow and ensure every machine receives both power and internet.

Interactive Operating Systems: Connect to any of your servers' monitors! Install Windows Server or Ubuntu Linux, navigate the file system, and use real commands in the virtual Terminal or CMD.

Dynamic Economy (SLA): Accept hosting contracts. Whether it’s a small Minecraft server or a large corporate database, maintain the agreed uptime or face heavy penalties.

Critical Systems Management: Watch the temperature! Without proper industrial cooling, your servers will crash above 85°C. Monitor Watt consumption and ensure stable power with generators and UPS units.

TECHNICAL DEPTH

In this game, every element is interconnected: more RAM means more heat and power consumption, while a poorly designed network leads to dissatisfied clients. Whether you choose Easy mode for a relaxing experience or Hard for a brutal challenge, Hosting Simulator will test your logic and technical expertise.

STEAM INTEGRATION

Auto-Save: Set the frequency of background saves so not a single bit of your progress is lost.

DLC Support: Customize your facility with exclusive content, such as digital RGB Gamer Racks.
