Question Hosting game servers

[tkalfaoglu]

A client is asking to host a game server at one of our CENTOS servers.
It is to be a minecraft server. I wondered if PLESK has any facilities for setting it up, or do I just create a user account for them and let them have SSH access. seems dangerous..
Or do I create a VPS on that server and give them access to that VPS? I was thinking the KVM system..

Many thanks..

I'd get them a VPS or even another dedicated server. Plesk doesn't and can't manage gameservers, though if you get one running in docker, Plesk can manage the container...

If your clients just want to upload the game files, they can configure the FTP's and upload the games, but to manage the games server, he should give access over the dedicated or VPS server to his client. Plesk is a Website hosting control panel; it can not help manage the game server.

What I ended up doing was creating the VPS's under kvm, and only gave them access to their desktops (they wanted a windows system).
So with some fine iptables tuning, I was able to deliver that to them.. Some more tweaking was necessary for both windows' performance and prevent idle waiting of windows..
