This is more for the hard-core players of games such as Counterstrike who need really fast network-response times to make a game fun. You rent dedicated servers with the gameplay server software pre-installed, meaning players have access to a "ready to go" dedicated server. They share this access with their group of close friends (who commonly help cover the bill), and they can all avoid the dreaded lag issue, when the Internet slows down gameplay. These players pay to be assured a high-quality Internet network experience when playing their favorite game.
