Why host Counter-Strike 2 with us

A CS2 server lives and dies by tick rate and registration. Yours gets the mode, match rules and player moderation wired into the panel — list, kick and message players without leaving your browser — with CounterStrikeSharp plugins like MatchZy or Retakes one click away.

Competitive, casual, wingman, arms race or deathmatch — a panel dropdown
One-click CounterStrikeSharp plugins: MatchZy, Retakes, SimpleAdmin and more
Player list, kicks and bans from the panel via RCON
Server name, join password and match rules in the Game tab
You bring the free Steam token — one paste and you’re VAC-secure

Hostwolf includes automatic backups, scheduled tasks, Fix-my-server diagnostics and email support. Instant setup in Germany, Finland, the US and Singapore; current availability and prices appear in the region picker.

You bring the Steam token — it’s free and takes a minute

CS2 servers must register a Steam Game Server Login Token (GSLT) owned by your Steam account to run VAC-secure and appear in the server browser. Hostwolf never supplies or manages tokens — your server, your token (that’s Valve’s rule, and it keeps your server tied to you).

Create the token — sign in at steamcommunity.com/dev/managegameservers and register a token for App ID 730 (Counter-Strike 2). Free, one per server.

Deploy your server — order as usual. Until a token is set, your server waits with on-screen instructions instead of starting insecure, so nothing breaks while you fetch it.

Paste it once — in your panel: Startup → Steam Game Server Login Token, then start. Done — your server is VAC-secure and listed in the browser.

Counter-Strike 2 hosting FAQ

Can I upload custom maps?

Yes — the file manager and SFTP give you the whole server directory. Drop the map files in, set the start map from the panel, and off you go.

Can I install server plugins?

Yes — the Addons tab installs the CounterStrikeSharp framework and plugins like MatchZy, CS2-SimpleAdmin, Retakes or WeaponPaints in one click. If a game update breaks plugins, click Repair framework.

Which game modes can I run?

Competitive, casual, wingman, arms race and deathmatch — one dropdown in the panel sets the mode, with start map and max players right next to it.

Can my admins moderate matches?

Yes — sub-users get their own panel login with only the permissions you grant, from the console to files and schedules.

How many players fit on a server?

A 5v5 or a ~16-slot community server runs on 4 GB; 32+ slots with plugins and custom maps want 8 GB or more.

Where can I host?

Germany, Finland, the US and Singapore — pick the region closest to your players.
