First off, avoid providers selling "game servers" and instead look into renting your own dedicated
server or VPS depending on your needs. I always recommend OVH as their DDoS protection is the best in business. Cloud computing and dedicated servers - OVH
If you don't understand Linux, now's a good time. It's a quarter of the price compared to a windows machine and is more reliable, not to mention how easy
it is to maintain.
