Welcome to the i3D.net documentation!

This documentation is primarily aimed at people who want to understand the following services provided by i3D.net:

## Game Hosting

The Game Hosting service can be used by game publishers to dynamically deploy their game servers all over the world, using our bare metal servers, flex metal servers, and cloud VMs. 

There are two ways in which developers can learn about the inner workings of the platform: 

* **The Dashboard:** For end-users and developers alike. 
* **The API:** Learn how to communicate with the API in order to automate deployment related processes.

## Anti-DDoS&#x20;

We have expanded our infrastructure services to also include an Anti-DDoS solution, **GLAD** (Global Low-Latency anti-DDoS protection). This intuitive solution takes advantage of i3D.net’s extensive global network to prevent, detect, and thwart a strike to your services.&#x20;

## Compute: Bare Metal and FlexMetal servers

Our product offerings encompass Compute solutions such as Bare Metal and FlexMetal. Bare Metal provides a high-performance, single-tenant computing environment that eliminates virtualization layers, enabling customized hardware configurations to precisely meet specific requirements. FlexMetal combines the strength of physical servers with the flexibility of cloud services. This hybrid model provides the best of both worlds, enabling hourly or monthly billing to fit your needs and optimize costs.

{% hint style="warning" %}
The FlexMetal API is in BETA active development.
