Frequently asked questions
Where can I rent a BeamMP server?
On Flux, from $2.99/month for 10 players with mods, Lua plugins and a live console, among other hosts.
Can I move my existing server?
Yes. Upload your mods in the Mods tab and your plugins in the Plugins tab, set your settings in Server Settings, and use your own AuthKey (stop the old server first: one key runs one server at a time).
