In detail
What your Counter-Strike server looks like at ZentexNode
What you can do with your Counter-Strike 2 server
This is a dedicated CS2 server (not CS:GO) that you control: use it for private matches with your team or as a public community server.
From the panel, without editing files, you choose the starting map, max players, server name and password, and the game mode and type: competitive, wingman, casual and others. You also decide whether VAC is on, set up RCON and automatic updates on restart, and enter your Steam GSLT token and the Workshop collection that will serve as the map rotation.
On top of that you get a live console, file manager, SFTP access, backups, scheduled tasks and sub-users. The server is online 24/7 and Anti-DDoS protection is included.
Which plan to choose
How much RAM you need depends on how many people play at once and how much extra content you load. Every plan includes 10 GB of NVMe storage per GB of RAM, as many stored backups and MySQL databases as it has GB of RAM, and 5 ports. Billing is monthly with no contract, and you can move to a plan with more RAM from the client area without losing your data. As a guide:
- 4 GB: a server for 10-12 players.
- More than 4 GB: if you load a lot of plugins or a lot of Workshop maps.
How to get started
Pick a plan and, once the payment goes through, the server is created automatically and your login details arrive by email. Log in to the panel, set the name, password and game mode, and start the server.
It is worth adding your GSLT token from the start, because the server needs it to show up in the public list. To join, open the in-game console and type connect followed by your server address; that address, plus the password if you set one, is what you share with your team.
Workshop maps and plugins
To play community maps, put them in a Steam Workshop collection and enter it in the panel, either in the startup options or on the Mods tab. The server uses that collection as its map rotation.
CS2 plugins run on Metamod and CounterStrikeSharp: Metamod goes in first, and CounterStrikeSharp sits on top of it and loads the plugins. Both are installed by uploading their files through the file manager or over SFTP (guide to connecting over SFTP). SourceMod, the system used in CS:GO, does not work on CS2.
Before installing or updating plugins, take a backup: here is how to create and restore one.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions about Counter-Strike hosting
The most common questions before setting up your Counter-Strike server.
What tickrate do you offer?
Servers with high tickrate and low latency thanks to Ryzen 9 and a 10 Gbps network.
Can I install plugins and maps?
Yes: plugins with Metamod and CounterStrikeSharp (SourceMod doesn't work on CS2) and Workshop maps through a collection, with full file access.
Can I use this server for CS:GO?
No. It is a Counter-Strike 2 server only.
What is a GSLT token and when do I need one?
It is a token you create with your Steam account. The server needs it to appear in the public list: paste it into the panel and restart.
Does the server update when a game patch comes out?
Yes, if automatic updates are switched on: the server updates when it restarts. You can set up a restart as a scheduled task.
Can I keep it private for my team?
Yes. Set a server password in the panel and share it only with the people you want.
Where are the servers and what latency will I get in the US?
Our US node is in Miami, Florida. It is our closest location for players in the eastern and southern United States, Mexico, Central America and the Caribbean; from the West Coast the distance is greater, so latency will be higher. We also have nodes in Spain and in the São Paulo region (Brazil), and you choose the location at checkout. Real latency depends on your internet provider; if you want to check it before buying, ask us on Discord.
Does it include Anti-DDoS and a no-commitment trial?
Yes, every plan includes Anti-DDoS Pro and there is no contract: you can cancel whenever you want.
What currency do I pay in?
Prices for the United States are in US dollars (USD) and you pay by card. There is no setup fee and no contract.
