Sizing guidance

Start here

4GB is the smallest supported footprint for Counter-Strike 2 when you want a clean launch without overspending.

Recommended for most servers

6GB is the safest default when you want room for players, mods, and a smoother first month.

Size up when the workload is real

Heavier maps, larger player counts, and bigger plugin or mod stacks can push you toward the upper end of the 8GB range.

Included with every plan

Full control panel access
Daily backups
DDoS protection
Upgrade or downgrade later

Notes before you launch

Choose the recommended plan first if you are unsure.
CS2 servers benefit from higher CPU for 64-player matches.
