CS2 Server Hosting
Your own Counter-Strike 2 server for scrims, practice, and community play — high-tick, low-latency, live in minutes.
High-clock EPYC · SSD · 128-tick capable · Full config access
Plans start at $10.99
Pixel Rack’s CS2 server hosting is tuned for what a Counter-Strike server actually needs: CPU per-tick, not gigabytes of RAM. Counter-Strike 2 is a networking- and CPU-sensitive game, so our plans run on high-clock AMD EPYC cores that hold a stable tick rate through eco rounds and full-buy chaos alike, on low-latency US hardware. Deploy instantly, run 128-tick, install SourceMod/MetaMod plugins, load custom maps, and edit your server config yourself — for scrims, retakes, surf, or a full community server.
Why host CS2 with Pixel Rack

FAQ
Do all plans support 128-tick?
Yes — every tier is 128-tick capable. There’s no upsell to get competitive tick rate.
How many slots can I run?
Basic is spec’d for ~15 slots; Premium and Supreme scale to larger community servers. Slots are limited by CPU and plugins more than RAM.
Can I run SourceMod pligins and custom modes?
Yes. Install MetaMod and SourceMod from the File Manager in the panel to run retakes, practice, surf, 1v1, and admin plugins.
Can I upload Workshop maps?
Yes — add any Steam Workshop map and manage your rotation from the panel.
Can I cancel or change my plan?
You can manage your plan in our store. Log in to your account, and you will see a list of products you have purchased. You can upgrade or downgrade to other CS2 plans. You can also cancel, but we hope you don’t.
