CS2 server hosting

Managed Counter-Strike 2 hosting — 128-tick servers, Metamod / CounterStrikeSharp plugins, practice & retake configs, full file access, and instant setup. From $6.99/mo.

Hosting your own Counter-Strike 2 server means you control the tickrate, the map pool, and the plugins — no third-party matchmaking limits. Doing it on a raw box means SteamCMD, a GSLT token under app ID 730, sv_setsteamaccount, opening the 27015 range, and wiring up Metamod and CounterStrikeSharp by hand.

Our managed CS2 hosting handles the plumbing. Servers deploy in minutes with the ports open, and full file access lets you install the community plugin stack — Metamod, CounterStrikeSharp — and drop in practice, retake, surf, or KZ configs whenever you want.

CS2 is light on RAM but leans on single-thread CPU, so a 2 GB / 12-slot server suits practice and small competitive play, while 4 GB / 24 slots handles a busy community server with plugins. Scale up whenever your community grows.

FAQ

Questions, answered

How much RAM does a CS2 server need?+

CS2 dedicated servers are light on RAM — around 2 GB runs a small practice or competitive server, and 4 GB is plenty for a busy 24-slot community server with plugins. CS2 leans more on single-thread CPU than RAM, which our plans account for.

Do I need a GSLT token to run a CS2 server?+

For a public server, yes — you'll want a Game Server Login Token (GSLT) from Steam under app ID 730. It takes a minute to generate and lets your server show up publicly and stay authenticated. We provide clear setup guidance.

What ports does CS2 use?+

CS2 servers typically use the 27015–27020 range. On a managed Nxeon server the ports are opened and the connect string is provided automatically.

Can I install plugins like CounterStrikeSharp or Metamod?+

Yes. Full file access lets you install Metamod and CounterStrikeSharp and set up practice, retake, surf, or KZ configs — the same plugin stack the CS2 community uses.

Can I set up a practice or retake server?+

Definitely. Drop in the relevant config and plugins and you can run practice (nade/spawn tools), retakes, surf, or a standard competitive 5v5 — all editable over full file access.
