MyLoad™ is the intelligent load balancing system developed by MineStrator to optimize resource usage across our entire game server hosting infrastructure. Whether you're hosting a Minecraft server, Garry’s Mod, Ark: Survival Evolved, or Valheim, MyLoad ensures smooth and stable performance.

Each physical machine is monitored in real-time. MyLoad automatically places new servers, like Left 4 Dead 2, Factorio, or Palworld, on the least utilized hosts to keep their load below 70% and prevent any overload.

The remaining 30% is strategically distributed:

• 10% is reserved for the system, allowing each machine to remain responsive even during high demand periods.
• 20% serves as bonus RAM. If a server temporarily exceeds 90% of its allocated RAM, as can happen with a 7 Days to Die or Satisfactory server, MyLoad automatically allocates additional memory to it (from 256MB to 1GB). Once the need subsides, this memory is reclaimed and redistributed to another server.

Thanks to this proactive approach, stability is ensured across our entire infrastructure. Whether you're running an Astroneer, Terraria, or American Truck Simulator server, MyLoad is one of the reasons why MineStrator is recognized as one of the best game server hosts.

At MineStrator, we introduced the concept of FlexCore™ back in 2020 🧠. It refers to a unique feature based on the 95th percentile rule: 95% of the time, CPU usage stays below a certain threshold, but during the remaining 5%, spikes can occur.

So what does this mean for your server? 🎮 A Minecraft server or Satisfactory server often experiences brief CPU spikes during events like:

• Map generation or map switching
• High player concentration in one area
• Server startup or restart

With FlexCore, your server automatically gets access to extra CPU cores during those critical moments. There’s no extra cost — just smoother performance exactly when it matters most. Whether you're running Palworld, The Forest, or Ark: Survival Evolved, FlexCore ensures better responsiveness.

It’s part of MineStrator’s DNA: you always get more power than you pay for ⚡. That’s why we’re considered one of the best game server hosts on the market — for Valheim, Factorio, or even technical setups like Redis and MongoDB.

Dedicated RAM means memory that is 100% yours 🧠. It is fully reserved for your server and never shared with other users, ensuring consistent performance even during heavy load or peak times.

With MineStrator, every Minecraft server, Palworld, or Garry's Mod instance comes with dedicated RAM for smooth and reliable gameplay. Unlike shared RAM used by low-cost hosts, our approach avoids performance issues caused by neighboring clients.

Whether you're running an Ark: Survival Evolved server, Valheim, or a technical stack with Redis, MongoDB, or MariaDB, dedicated RAM gives you the power and reliability you need for both gaming and professional use.

✅ More stability, ✅ consistent performance, ✅ full isolation — that's what makes MineStrator one of the best game server hosting providers today.

At MineStrator, your in-game performance comes first 🎯. Unlike many hosts who stack multiple servers on a single CPU core, we follow a simple rule: 1 server = 1 dedicated CPU core.

Whether you're running a Minecraft server, Palworld, Ark: Survival Evolved, or Left 4 Dead 2, your instance runs in an optimized environment without interference from other clients.

This policy of strict resource isolation ensures consistent hosting quality, even during high-demand scenarios like Satisfactory, Valheim, or Factorio.

💡 The result: stable performance, low latency, and the kind of reliability that makes MineStrator one of the best game server hosting providers in France and beyond.
