Is a VPS suitable for hosting a multiplayer game server?

[tomamber]

A few friends and I want to launch a private multiplayer game server for a small community. We also plan to create a simple website where players can register and check server statistics. I'm trying to figure out whether a VPS would be enough for this setup. Daily backups and DDoS protection are particularly important because I don't want to lose our configuration or have the server taken offline by attacks. Would hostpro.com be worth considering for this purpose?

New customers are often better off testing a hosting service with a monthly plan before committing to a longer subscription.
