Hosting your CS 2 Server
The following section covers the first steps to getting started with a Counter-Strike 2 server.
Setting a Server Name
Your server's name is the main form of identification for your server in the Counter Strike 2 community server list. Server names are used to identify your server in the in-game server list, allowing players to give their server a unique identity as a form of customisation. We recommend setting a unique server name as a first step to starting off with your CS:S server.
Creating a Private Server
The easiest way to create a private Counter Strike 2 server is by setting a password that players are required to enter when joining the game. Having a private server may be important to many server owners, as it prevents unwarranted players from connecting to the server.
Configuring your CS 2 Server
Although there aren't currently as many configurable options available to CS 2 server owners compared to CS:GO there are still a lot of changes you can make to your server including choosing a map/game mode.
General Customisation
Without using external plugins and maps, server owners are able to configure basic server options.
