CS:GO VPS

The game brings together a large number of players of all levels and offers a higher difficulty level than other FPS games. You’ll need great tactical skills to foil your enemies’ strategies and traps. They will not go easy on you, so familiarise yourself with targeting and shooting systems, Your accuracy will be tested, as will your control and concentration. Localised damage (head, torso, limbs) affects duels and weapon recoil. It is this requirement of the game that has helped the gameplay stay fresh and continued the title’s popularity for almost ten years. To improve in ranked games (competition mode), refine your strategy with your team. You will need to be able to react to any situation: bomb defusing, long range firing, grenade throwing, and more. There are three ways to play with friends:

• launch a private game against bots ;
• join a game on a public server ;
create your own private CS:GO server.

The first option is the most common. Invite your friends after launching a training session with bots. You will have predefined and restricted options for customising your game. But, hosting the game locally can put you at risk of slowdowns. The second option is even more restrictive, because you are joining a server whose configuration is already set by its administrator. Also, if it’s a public server, expect to meet several players who could either enhance or ruin your gaming experience. Creating your own server is the method that gives you the most configuration options. Set your rules, configure your training, mod, restrict access to your server: it’s your game. For this, we recommend our range of VPS Gaming.

Here is the recommended configuration for your server :

• 8 vCores (processeurs virtuels) ;
• 24 GB of RAM;
• 1.5 Gbps de bande passante ;
• Environ 200 GB SSD NVMe d’espace disque.

 

You can play on a server with 24 GB of RAM.

However, if you host more than 10 players on your machine, you may experience slowdowns or bugs.

We advise you to opt for 200 GB SSD NVMe of storage space or more, depending on the mods you wish to install.

It will also be useful to create additional space to back up your data. CS:GO requires the lowest latency (Ping) possible. Thus, a bandwidth of at least 1.5 Gbps will provide you with optimal comfort in-game. For this, we recommend our VPS 3, VPS 4, VPS 5, and VPS 6 offers. You can now configure your server. Start by choosing your operating system, between a Windows Server or a Linux distribution such as Debian. Our detailed documentation will guide you in setting up your virtual server.

Download SteamCMD from the Steam client. You must also own the game Counter Strike: Global Offensive and its files. There are very good online tutorials that you can follow to install a CS:GO server; please read them carefully. Ensure that TCP and UDP ports 27015 are open. Launch your server - this can be done via the command console on Windows.
• It’s ready !
You can now join the server with your friends.

To do this, launch CS:GO from Steam. In the multiplayer menu, click on « Communityserverbrowser ». Go to « Favorites » and click on « Add a server ». Enter your server’s IP address (which you will find in your OVHcloud Control Panel), and click “Add this address to favourites”. In the list of available servers, you should find yours. If it does not appear, refresh the page. Click on « connect » and you can enjoy your private CS:GO server !
