Game2XS.com will offer game server leasing, under the Instant Game Server(tm) brand (

Each fully International Instant Game Server(tm) features a control panel interface, and supports multiple game types. An automated leasing procedure ensures that customers can be playing online immediately after payment without waiting for set up authorisation from a manual source.
