CS2D is the free 2D take on Counter-Strike, with bots, mods and Lua scripting. A dedicated server is tiny to run and great for classic top-down team play. This step-by-step guide shows you how to set up a CS2D server in minutes — no manual install, no command line.
Pick a plan sized for your CS2D community. We recommend about 256 MB–1 GB of RAM; start smaller and upgrade in one click as you add players or mods. CS2D plans start at $3.99/mo.
Check out and your CS2D server provisions automatically in under 60 seconds, with console access right away — no manual install, no command line.
Once your CS2D server is online, share its address (IP and port) with your friends so they can join. Start, stop and restart it anytime from the control panel.
Your CS2D server supports Lua, Mods, Config, FTP/SFTP. Install Lua scripts and configs 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 CS2D server stable.
