What to specify

CPU: high boost clock and large cache. AMD X3D parts are popular for this reason.
DDoS protection: game-aware filtering (UDP) matters more than generic web protection.
Location: pick the region closest to your players; latency matters more than price.
Network: unmetered traffic and a 1 Gbps or faster port.
