Your own 24/7 Team Fortress 2 server with unlimited slots, DDoS protection, SourceMod plugins and locations worldwide.
American ExpressAbout the server
Team Fortress 2 is Valve's class-based team shooter: nine classes, from Scout to Medic, fight over control points, payload carts and intelligence briefcases in fast 12v12 rounds. Community maps and modes like Mann vs. Machine have kept it alive for more than 15 years. With your own TF2 server, you decide the map rotation, the rules, the plugins and who gets to play, instead of depending on whichever public servers happen to be online.
With access to server.cfg and the server files, you can install SourceMod and Metamod plugins, upload custom maps, add a GSLT so players can find your server in the browser, and manage everything live via RCON. Whether you run a moderated community server, a weekly pug night with friends or a 24/7 MvM or MGE server, it stays online even when your own PC is off.

FAQ
Answers to the most important questions before you start.
Price by package, term and location, never per player slot.
TF2 server prices depend on the RAM/CPU package you choose, the term and the location, not on player slots. The pricing section above shows the current live price for every package. You also choose your rental period, and you can increase RAM later if your community grows.
About 2 GB covers a vanilla server. Plugins and bots need more.
A vanilla TF2 server with 24 players usually runs well with about 2 GB of RAM. SourceMod plugins, custom maps, higher player counts and Mann vs. Machine with lots of bots all add load, so plan for more RAM and CPU with those setups. You can increase RAM later when you need it.
Every package comes with unlimited slots.
We don't limit slots. You set maxplayers yourself. Most TF2 servers run 24 or 32 players, and the game supports up to 100 players on a community server. For larger player counts, choose a package with more RAM and CPU.
Usually within 60 seconds, because setup runs automatically.
Once your payment goes through, your TF2 server is installed automatically and is usually ready within 60 seconds. You'll find the IP and port in the panel and can join right away from the TF2 console with the connect command. How to connect to your server
Yes, if you want a public server that shows up in the server browser.
Valve requires a GSLT for TF2 servers that should appear in the public server browser. A private server where friends join by IP can run without one. You create the token for free in your Steam account with app ID 440 and add it to your server configuration. Create a GSLT step by step
Yes. You can run SourceMod, Metamod:Source and custom maps.
Yes. Install Metamod:Source and SourceMod, then add plugins for modes like trading, MGE or Versus Saxton Hale, or for your own admin tools. Upload custom maps to the maps folder through the file manager or FTP. TF2 updates can break plugins for a while until their authors release fixes. Install plugins on your server
Locations worldwide. Pick the one closest to your players.
You pick a location from our data centers worldwide when you order. Choose the one closest to most of your players for the best ping. North American groups, for example, often start with Ashburn, Dallas or Los Angeles. Availability can vary by location.
Yes. Every package includes DDoS protection.
Every TF2 server includes DDoS protection at no extra cost. Attack traffic is filtered before it reaches your server, which helps keep your rounds going even when someone targets your community.
