TF2C on your own server
What is a Team Fortress 2 Classified VPS?
Want full control over your TF2C server? With a Team Fortress 2 Classified VPS you get your own KVM server with full root access, the TF2C dedicated server is set up on it with one click via our Gameserver Installer, and you decide on plugins, custom weapons, maps and how many instances run side by side.
Team Fortress 2 Classified (formerly TF2 Classic) is a free Source engine game, and the people who run its servers like to be in control. Instead of a hosted game server, you get the whole machine: SSH access, your own tools, SourceMod plugins and separate instances for vanilla, custom weapons or 4-team modes.
Why a VPS
Everything your TF2C server gets on your own VPS
Root access, one-click setup through the Gameserver Installer and room for several instances: the base for vanilla, custom weapons and 4-team servers.
Your VPS online in about 60 seconds
Order and get root access: your VPS is online in around 60 seconds and ready for the Gameserver Installer.
TF2C set up in one click
Skip the install marathon: the Gameserver Installer sets up your TF2 Classified server on your VPS with one click.
Root console in your browser
Fix things mid-match: full root access via SSH or the browser console lets you run server commands and manage plugins directly.
Vanilla, custom weapons & 4-team
Every mode gets its own server: run vanilla, custom weapons and 4-team instances side by side on one VPS, each on its own port.
KVM resources for full servers
Full servers stay smooth: KVM virtualization assigns CPU cores and RAM to your VPS, and live statistics show you the load.
Upgrade as your community grows
Started with one server and now run three? Increase RAM when your player count or plugin list grows.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions about Team Fortress 2 Classified
Answers to the most important questions before you start.
Yes. Your VPS is a KVM server with full root access, and the TF2C dedicated server is set up on it with one click via our Gameserver Installer, so there is no manual install. After that you manage server.cfg, maps and plugins like on any self-hosted Source server. Experienced admins can still choose to set it up by hand.
- One-click setup via the Gameserver Installer
- Full root and SSH access
- Your own server.cfg, maps and plugins
It depends on the VPS package and term you choose. The package cards on this page show live shop prices, so you see the exact amount before you order. Several TF2C instances can share one VPS, so your vanilla and custom weapons servers don't each need their own plan. Choose 3, 30, 90 or 180 days or a year; you can cancel anytime, effective at term end.
- Live prices in the package cards
- Several TF2C instances on one VPS
- Flexible term, cancel anytime
A managed game server comes with a fixed web interface. A TF2 Classified VPS is your own machine with root access: several TF2C instances, your own tools and any SourceMod setup, while the Gameserver Installer still sets up the server with one click. Choose the VPS when you want full control over everything that runs on it.
- VPS: root access and multiple instances
- Gameserver Installer: TF2C set up in one click
That depends on your player count, the number of SourceMod plugins and custom content, and how many TF2C instances run in parallel. A single vanilla server needs fewer resources than a custom weapons server running next to a 4-team server. Allow resource headroom, watch the load in the panel and increase resources when your community grows. Learn more about VPS in the Help Center
- Factor in players, plugins and instances
- Check CPU and RAM load in the statistics
- Increase RAM when needed
Your VPS is usually online in around 60 seconds after your order. Then you open the Gameserver Installer, choose Team Fortress 2 Classified, and the TF2C server is set up with one click, so the first round can start shortly after.

- TF2C server set up with one click
Yes. You get full root access via SSH and the browser console, so you can add SourceMod plugins, custom weapons, GameBanana maps and 4-team setups exactly the way your community wants them. Nothing is locked behind a game panel, and you decide what runs on your VPS. How to connect via SSH
- Full root access via SSH
- Browser console as a fallback
- SourceMod, custom weapons and maps
Yes, a daily automatic system Backup of your VPS is included. If you want to create your own Backups and restore them yourself, for example before a big custom weapons update, that is available with the ZapX Pass.

How do I connect to my TF2C VPS via SSH?
Here's how it works: copy the IP and root password from your VPS panel, open an SSH client like PuTTY and connect on port 22. I can also explain how to switch to SSH keys afterwards.
Why should I use SSH keys?
Keys are much harder to brute-force than passwords. I can show you how to create a key pair and disable password login safely.
