Counter-Strike 2 is Valve's flagship tactical shooter on the Source 2 engine. A dedicated CS2 server lets you run your own competitive 5v5, surf, retake or community modes with full cfg control and Metamod:Source / CounterStrikeSharp plugins. This step-by-step guide shows you how to set up a Counter-Strike 2 server in minutes — no manual install, no command line.
Pick a plan sized for your Counter-Strike 2 community. We recommend about 2–4 GB of RAM; start smaller and upgrade in one click as you add players or mods. Counter-Strike 2 plans start at $10.99/mo.
Check out and your Counter-Strike 2 server provisions automatically in under 60 seconds, with console access right away — no manual install, no command line.
Once your Counter-Strike 2 server is online, copy its address (IP and port) from the panel. Your players open the console with ~ and type connect <address> — or add it under Favourites in the server browser. Start, stop and restart it anytime from the control panel.
Your Counter-Strike 2 server supports Metamod:Source, CounterStrikeSharp, Plugins, Custom maps, cfg, FTP/SFTP. Install Metamod:Source and CounterStrikeSharp plugins straight from the one-click installer, or upload your own from the control panel — then tweak settings in the visual config editor.
Enable scheduled automatic backups, set restart timers, and monitor CPU, RAM and player counts from the dashboard. Always-on DDoS protection and 24/7 support keep your Counter-Strike 2 server stable.
