Unlimited slots, DDoS protection and plugin support. Your CS2 server is online in 60 seconds at locations worldwide.
American ExpressAbout the game
Counter-Strike 2 is Valve's tactical 5v5 shooter. One side plants the bomb, the other defuses it, and every round comes down to aim, utility and teamwork on maps like Mirage and Inferno. Away from matchmaking, the community plays on its own servers: retakes, surf, deathmatch, 1v1 arenas and private scrims. Counter-Strike 2 (CS2) server hosting at ZAP-Hosting gives you exactly that: your own managed CS2 server with unlimited slots, DDoS protection and plugin support, online within 60 seconds at locations worldwide.
With your own CS2 dedicated server, you set the rules. Load a practice config for smoke and flash lineups, run retakes or a 1v1 arena with Metamod and CounterStrikeSharp plugins, put a scrim behind a password, or record demos with CSTV to review the match afterwards. Configs, plugins, Backups and the live console are all in your browser panel, so match night starts with the first round instead of a SteamCMD setup.

FAQ
Answers to the most important questions before you start.
Price by package, term and location, not player slots.
The price depends on the RAM/CPU package, term and location you choose. Live prices are shown in the plan selection above. Every plan includes unlimited slots and DDoS protection, and terms run from 3 to 365 days. With ZapX Pass, you can also buy your server once with a Lifetime payment.
As many as CS2 allows, because slots are unlimited on every plan.
ZAP-Hosting doesn't sell slots. Every plan has unlimited player slots, and CS2 itself supports up to 64 players per server. A small package is enough for a 5v5 scrim or a retake server. For busy community servers with many plugins, choose more RAM and CPU or upgrade later. How upgrades work
Within 60 seconds, because setup runs automatically.
After checkout, your CS2 server installs automatically, so you don't have to set up SteamCMD. Within 60 seconds, the IP and port appear in your dashboard and you can connect straight from the CS2 console.
We have locations worldwide. Pick the one closest to your players.
When you order, you choose from locations worldwide. Pick the data center closest to your team or community. Many North American groups start with Ashburn, Dallas or Los Angeles. Latency stays low when the location is near your players, and you can see the available locations when you order.
Yes, terms start at 3 days.
You can choose a term of 3, 30, 90, 180 or 365 days. A 3-day term covers a LAN party, a cup weekend or a block of scrims. For a permanent community server, a longer term makes more sense. You can cancel anytime, and the cancellation takes effect at the end of the current term.
Yes, Metamod and CounterStrikeSharp run on your server.
Yes. Upload Metamod:Source and CounterStrikeSharp through the file manager, then add the plugins you need, such as retakes, admin tools, practice mode, deathmatch or surf timers. The Help Center guide walks you through every step. Plugin guide in the Help Center
For anything beyond a LAN session, it usually is.
A CS2 dedicated server hosted at home depends on your upload speed, your PC running around the clock and your own router setup, and it exposes your home IP. A rented CS2 server runs in a data center with DDoS protection. It stays online when your PC is off, so teammates and opponents can join at any time.
A Steam Game Server Login Token (GSLT).
Valve requires a GSLT for CS2 servers that should be reachable over the internet. Create one in your Steam account with App ID 730 and add it to your server. The Help Center guide shows how. For a private match with friends, also set a server password. Create a GSLT step by step
