Game Servers in Germany

What “hosted in Germany” means here

Every listing on this page is a machine whose address geolocates to Germany. That is a fact about where the hardware sits and nothing more — it does not tell you what language the server runs in, where its admins live, or who plays on it. Operators rent boxes wherever the players are, so a community based on the other side of the world will happily host in the country with the best transit to its members.

Distance is the one property of a server you cannot configure your way out of. Every shot you take crosses the network to the box and the result crosses back, and the longer that round trip runs the longer you wait for it — which is exactly what the ping figure on each card below is measuring. Anywhere hit registration matters you feel the difference rather than read it. Picking a server in your own country, or in one next to it, is the crudest proxy for that distance and also the most reliable one you have before you connect; the ping on the card is the number to confirm it with.

A listing gets a country only when a geolocation source gave us one. It is never inferred from a hostname, a server name or a top-level domain, which is why 1,925 approved listings carry no location at all and appear on none of these pages.
