Why Choose Ray Hosting for your Quake 3: Arena Server?
AMD Ryzen 9 hardware, worldwide low-latency network, and robust DDoS protection – we handle the backend, you focus on gameplay.
Setting up a Q3A server is a breeze with our automated container orchestration, deploying within 10-30 seconds. You get instant access to your server.cfg file via our zero-latency TTY web console to customise frag limits and map rotations.
Absolutely! Our Quake 3 Arena hosting fully supports popular mods like CPMA, Defrag, and OSP. Just upload the files using our advanced web file manager and experience zero I/O bottlenecks thanks to our Gen4 NVMe arrays.
Map rotations are easily configured in your server.cfg using 'vstr' variables. Plus, with our 99.9% uptime guarantee and automated watchdog recovery, your server keeps the action going 24/7.
Yes, we highly recommend ioquake3 for dedicated servers. Running it on our AMD Ryzen™ 9 7900 nodes provides unparalleled security, modern features, and rock-solid network performance for competitive play.
Start your dedicated server using `+set dedicated 2` in your startup parameters. With our global edge network and 15+ redundant Tier-3/Tier-4 datacenters, your server will be visible and boast ultra-low latency worldwide.
If you're self-hosting, CGNAT or firewalls might be the issue. By switching to Ray Hosting, our instant provisioning and DDoS Armour profiles ensure your server is always accessible and protected from Layer 7 UDP floods.
Set an RCON password (`rconPassword`) in your `server.cfg`. For complete control, you can also use our Developer Console CLI and API for remote monitoring, or manage your team with our Role-Based Access Control (RBAC).
It allocates memory for map and item loading. Since our servers are powered by Enterprise ECC DDR5 memory, you have the headroom to run complex mods and massive custom maps without breaking a sweat.
