What you get
What's in a ServerSpark CS2 server
One plan with room for the full game and your plugins. €4.89 per month paid quarterly (€14.67 every 3 months) or €5.19 monthly.
4 GB RAM, 75 GB NVMe
Enough disk for the full CS2 install plus your maps, configs and plugins.
Metamod and CounterStrikeSharp
Both preinstalled. Upload CounterStrikeSharp plugins through the file manager or SFTP.
Settings in SparkPanel
Server name, server password, map, gamemode and game type, max players and VAC, without editing files.
Player count
SparkPanel shows whether your server is running and how many players are on it.
Auto-update
The server updates CS2 when it starts, so it stays on the current game version.
Nightly backup
Your configs and plugins are backed up every night at a separate location. The game files come back from Steam.
How it works
From order to your first match
1. Order the plan below. Your server is created automatically; the first install downloads the full game (about 70 GB), so give it some time. 2. Add your token: create a Steam Game Server Login Token for App ID 730 at steamcommunity.com/dev/managegameservers and paste it into Steam Gameserver Login Token under Settings. 3. Set up the map, gamemode, max players and a server password if you want a private server. 4. Start the server and connect from the CS2 console with connect address:port, using the address and port from Connect in SparkPanel.
RCON is off by default. Your server already has its own random RCON password; switch on Enable RCON under Settings when you want to use it.
Honest advice
Good to know before you order
Works well
- Scrims, practice and retakes or other plugin modes with friends or your team.
- Community servers that run CounterStrikeSharp plugins.
- Players across Europe: the server runs in Falkenstein, Germany.
Keep in mind
- There is one CS2 plan (4 GB); there is no bigger CS2 plan yet.
- Billing is monthly or quarterly; there is no yearly option for CS2.
- The Steam token is yours: without one, players outside your network may not find or join the server.
