Start small. Dream big. Rule the internet.
In Ping Profit - Internet Tycoon, you launch your very own web hosting company from the cramped confines of a dusty basement. Build desktop servers, manage overheating disasters, and scrape by on razor-thin margins — until you’re ready to level up.
As your profits grow, expand into larger data centers, install advanced cooling systems, manage a growing workforce, rebuild aging servers for maximum uptime, and deploy a variety of management options to keep your servers — and your profits — running strong.
From one server to server farms the size of warehouses, Ping Profit challenges you to master the art of internet infrastructure and business strategy.
Key Features
Build and Expand: Start with simple desktop rigs and scale up to professional-grade servers and massive hosting facilities.
Manage and Optimize: Balance power, heat, and reputation to maximize uptime — and your bottom line.
Customize Your Strategy: Choose your pricing, services, and business model. Low-cost bulk hosting? Premium boutique servers? It's up to you.
Realistic Challenges: Battle equipment failures, grapple cooling challenges, and market competition.
Upgrade Your Facilities: Move from basements to warehouses to full-blown data centers.
Whether you play it safe or push for high-risk, high-reward growth, Ping Profit lets you build the hosting empire of your dreams — one ping at a time.
