American ExpressAbout the game
Counter-Strike: Global Offensive is Valve's tactical 5v5 shooter: terrorists plant the bomb, counter-terrorists defuse it or wipe the enemy team, and every round is decided by aim, utility and smart economy calls. Beyond competitive matches, CS:GO lives on through its community modes — surf, KZ, retakes, deathmatch and custom workshop maps. With csgo server hosting you get your own dedicated server for all of it: your maps, your rules, your players.
On your own server you control what a matchmaking lobby never lets you touch: tickrate, map rotation, game mode, warmup, password and admin rights. Install SourceMod plugins, serve custom maps via FastDL, record matches with GOTV and tune your server.cfg in the panel or with the CS:GO config generator — no SteamCMD, no port forwarding and no PC at home running all night.

FAQ
Answers to the most important questions before you start.
Yes. CS:GO is still available as its own game server, separate from CS2. Players launch the CS:GO legacy version in Steam and connect via the community server browser or the console using your server IP. Once you rent a CS:GO server, it's installed automatically and runs around the clock. How to connect to your CS:GO server
No slot-based pricing
The price depends on the RAM and CPU package, term and location you choose, not on player slots — every plan includes unlimited slots. Current prices are shown live in the package section on this page. You get a flexible term, can cancel anytime, and with ZapX Pass there's also a Lifetime option you buy once.
Usually within 60 seconds. Once your order is confirmed, the server is created and CS:GO is installed automatically. You don't need SteamCMD or port forwarding — add your GSLT, adjust the server.cfg and share the IP with your team.
We don't limit slots on any plan; the CS:GO engine itself allows up to 64 players per server. How many play smoothly depends on RAM, CPU, tickrate and plugins: a 5v5 match needs far less than a full surf or deathmatch server running lots of SourceMod plugins. If the load climbs, you can upgrade RAM or CPU at any time.
Choose the location closest to most of your players — that keeps ping low in every round. ZAP-Hosting offers locations worldwide, so every community can play close to home. Many North American groups start with Ashburn, Dallas or Los Angeles.
Yes, if players should join over the internet and find your server in the community browser. Without a token, CS:GO only accepts LAN connections. You create the GSLT for free in your Steam account with App ID 730 and paste it into your server settings in the panel. Create your GSLT step by step
Yes. Install Metamod:Source and SourceMod via the file manager or FTP, then add plugins for surf timers, retakes, KZ or deathmatch. Admins are added in SourceMod with their Steam ID. Workshop maps load via a collection, and FastDL speeds up custom content downloads for your players. Install SourceMod plugins
They are separate games with separate servers. CS:GO runs on the Source engine with SourceMod, its classic maps and community modes; CS2 runs on Source 2 with different tooling. CS2 players can't join a CS:GO server and vice versa. If your group has moved to CS2, choose a Counter-Strike 2 server instead or switch games later with the included game switch.
