Intel i9-10980XE
For single servers and small networks a high clock lowers tick time; the most balanced option for CS2.
View plansCS2 Server Hosting
CS2 servers are light on RAM; what matters is latency and tick processing time. A single 10-12 slot server runs on 2 GB, so hosting several instances on one VDS is a common setup. Core count then starts to matter, because each instance runs in its own process.
Recommended plan by player count
These values map one to one onto the VDS plan steps in our catalogue. Intermediate values can also be selected in the configurator.
| Players | RAM | vCPU | Storage | Intel i9-10980XE | Xeon E5-2699v4 | Note |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 sunucu (10-12 slot) | 2 GB | 1 | 40 GB | ₺380,00 / mo | ₺270,00 / mo | A single competitive or wingman server. |
| 2-4 örnek | 4 GB | 2 | 80 GB | ₺910,00 / mo | ₺670,00 / mo | Competitive plus retake or deathmatch together. |
| 5-10 örnek | 8 GB | 4 | 160 GB | ₺1.970,00 / mo | ₺1.470,00 / mo | Tournament infrastructure or a community server network. |
The amounts in the table are the monthly net price of each processor option and match the calculation in the configurator. The value option uses DDR4 memory, the performance option DDR5. Billing period (3, 6, 12, 24, 36 months) and extra resources are calculated in the configurator.
Prices exclude VAT (20%).
How to choose the hardware
If you run a single server, the smallest plan is enough and the budget is better spent on processor quality. For multiple instances (retake, deathmatch, tournament servers) budget about 2 GB of RAM and one vCPU per instance. Location choice directly sets player ping: for a Turkish audience, the Bursa location is a clear advantage over hosting abroad.
Which processor family?
Most game servers run on a single thread, so per-core performance matters more than core count.
Xeon E5-2699v4
If you run many instances, core count becomes the deciding factor and this family lowers the cost per instance.
View plansSetup steps
- 1Install with an Ubuntu 22.04 template and download the CS2 dedicated server via SteamCMD.
- 2Open UDP/TCP 27015, incrementing the port for each additional instance.
- 3Set a Game Server Login Token (GSLT), which is required for public server listing.
- 4If you install MetaMod/SourceMod, boot the server once clean and verify version compatibility.
