Multiple server on one server

Hello !

I am doing a multiplayer game and am working currently on the exports versions.

Actually, my game take too much CPU on the server. So I plan to optimize it more and eventually upgrade a bit the server.

But I discovered that my game was not using all the cores. I have 2 cores, 4 threads, and I see that there is often one that is at 100% or over, but the other are almost not use.

So I read that it was because the Unreal Engine was not supposed to use several core. It has 2 threads (game thread and draw thread) but is not design to use more.
(It is what I have understood, but please tell me if I totally misunderstood !).

I have also read that it was to be able to have several server on the same dedicated server ! One server per core.

Is that all true ?
I tried to launch 2 same servers at the same time but it seems to be very slow. Is there something to do to be able to have several server on one dedicated ?
I think the server I have is just too slow but I have to be sure before upgrading.

Thank you a lot for your time !
All the best
