@youssefbasha is hosting OpenGamePanel (a free game server control panel) and a Grand Theft Auto San Andreas Multiplayer (a.k.a SAMP, also free) game server through OpenGamePanel on the VPS. He also actually mentioned that this is about his VPS 18 in the OP post. He described the issue there and what he is hosting there, too. He has already tried a few suggested things including downgrading the OS to a previous version.

As I mentioned in my posts already I really don't have a clue. I have no experience with OGP or/and SAMP. Nor do I have any interest in any of the two. So I'm not really much of a help here. I don't have much time since my normal job started again and my vacation ended to deal with game servers or even in general gaming.

Especially if there is no error to work with when the server is crashing. The only error that @youssefbasha received was related to code of the SAMP server and its HTTP/HTTPS component. I linked to resources regarding that on the official SAMP page. Nothing more I can do. It may cause the crash but there is no real way to test it for me. If the error occures on every server crash... in that case the chance that it is causing the crash is increased. However I have no idea how you can reproduce it yourself to test it. Unless there is a serious issues with the code of the SAMP server I cannot see how a bad HTTP response can crash a game server that is not based on HTTP/HTTPS protocol to begin with. I don't even know what for the HTTP/HTTPS component is used in the SAMP game server. It could be something as easy as checking for a new server version or something else but also maybe something more complex. I don't like poking around in the dark.

To be honest I don't think that our support forum is suitable to solve such issues. Especially not in the private forum unless any of the staff here is actually a SAMP pro and knows it all (or is a experienced user/developer for it). This isn't the OGP or SAMP support forum. If there are issues related to the OS and its components we can work on that but as soon as it touches something related to a certain software and there is no clear error log or reproduction way there is not much we can do in general as we're not the developers of the software. And always remember that the VPSs are unmanaged products. Such issues are a subject where the provider can simply outright say "No. This is your stuff and you're responsible for it".

I see no real way to test if the VPS is "compatible" with game servers. If there is no network protection in place that would block UDP game server traffic or possibly cause connection issues on UDP (or any other network issues) and there provider is not employing any software or scripts to detect game servers and kill them... Well, any VPS should work just fine to host a game server if it is allowed per ToS/AUP.
