Case Study: GameTable Online achieves 30% hosting cost savings and on‑demand scaling with Rackspace Technology

GameTable Online Cuts Hosting Costs by 30% Moving to the Rackspace Cloud

GameTable Online (GTO) is a Northampton‑based site that hosts web versions of tabletop strategy games and attracts large, fluctuating audiences. Their traditional dedicated hosting proved expensive and inflexible, so GTO needed a way to scale up for spikes in play, separate web and game servers for safer development, and reduce overall hosting costs.

GTO moved to Rackspace Cloud, deploying separate Cloud Servers for web, database and game functions, using Cloud Files and server snapshots for backups and distribution. The change let them scale servers on demand, streamline testing, and cut hosting expenses by 30% while easily supporting around 250 concurrent players—freeing staff to focus on adding games and improving user experience.
