Is my Game Server Online?

Real-time status and detailed information for game servers worldwide — no account required.

About

Is my Game Server Online? was created by Daniel Gibbs, lead developer of LinuxGSM, to fill the gap left by the lack of a quick, no-fuss web tool for checking game server status.

The application supports a broad range of games across multiple query protocols, from modern Steam titles to classic pre-Steam servers.

Privacy

This application operates without a database. Server query results are cached in-memory for up to 24 hours to speed up repeated queries. All information is fetched in real-time from game servers and third-party APIs.

For diagnostic purposes, server logs — including game server IP addresses, ports, and protocols — are retained for 7 days.

Google Analytics is used to collect anonymous usage data (pages visited, game types queried) to help improve the service. No personally identifiable information is sent.

Google AdSense is used to serve non-targeted advertisements based on page content rather than user interests.
