Core
Build data centers
Racks, power, cooling and networking. Every rack unit counts: let the hall overheat and your servers start dropping offline one by one.
Online game · in development
Build your network. Defend the uptime.
SiteGround is an interactive online game about servers and internet infrastructure. Assemble racks, host your clients’ websites, fight off DDoS attacks and compete with other operators for the most reliable data center on the map.

01 — About the game
The internet runs on servers. Now they’re yours.
Every website you open lives somewhere: in a rack, in a data center, watched over by people who don’t sleep when traffic spikes. SiteGround turns that invisible work into a game.
Start with a single server in a back room and grow into a network of data centers around the world. Take on client orders, balance the load, keep an eye on temperatures and budget — and be ready for someone to take down your prod at 3 a.m.

02 — Gameplay
Everything you love and fear about production
Six systems running at the same time. Drop the ball on one, and your clients will move to the operator next door.
Economy
Host client projects
From a personal blog to a marketplace on Black Friday. More traffic means more revenue — and more trouble.
PvE · PvP
Fight off attacks
DDoS, botnets, data leaks and the “accidental” rm -rf. Harden your defenses before prod goes down.
World map
Expand across regions
Unlock locations around the globe and cut latency for your clients.
Multiplayer
Alliances and rivalry
Team up with other operators and share bandwidth — or poach each other’s clients.
Upgrades
Upgrade your hardware
From a second-hand server in your garage to your own campus with liquid cooling.

The demo runs entirely in your browser and sends nothing anywhere. It’s a simplified model — the real game goes much deeper, and demo progress doesn’t carry over.
05 — Game world
From a server closet to a global network
Photos are for illustration only and are not game screenshots.
LOC 01
Server Room
Your first rack, the hum of fans and endless cables.

Network Hub
Peering, uplinks and routing. Whoever owns the network owns the traffic.
LOC 03
Storage Vault
Petabytes of other people’s photos, backups and logs. Don’t lose a single byte.
LOC 04
Security Center
Where attacks get stopped and botnets get caught. Red is a bad color here.
LOC 05
Operator Console
Everything runs through the terminal. Script away the routine.
LOC 06
Global Network
Regions across the world, latency, and a fight for clients on every continent.
