Why Host Your TF2 Server on Flux?

Team Fortress 2 has always lived on community servers: a payload server with its own map rotation, an instant-respawn 2Fort, a weekly Mann vs. Machine night. A dedicated TF2 server keeps yours running around the clock, with your maps, your plugins and your rules, whether or not your own PC is on.

Every plan here has dedicated vCores and memory, reserved for your server rather than shared, on a decentralized cloud of thousands of independent nodes across 50+ countries.

The fiddly parts are handled. There is no srcds command line to write and no SourceMod to install by hand: the server name, starting map, Steam token and passwords are a form, SourceMod is a switch, the port is opened and routed for you, and the server installs the latest TF2 build and SourceMod on every start. Your files are synced to a standby node, and enterprise-grade DDoS protection is included on every plan.

You still get an ordinary management panel, and more: a Maps tab, SourceMod plugins and admins, bans, server.cfg in a form, a live console, a file browser and backups. Plans start at $4.49/month, billing is pay-as-you-go with no contract, and your files are downloadable whenever you want them.

Team Fortress 2 Server Features Explained

SourceMod, installed and kept working

With SourceMod on, the server installs Metamod:Source and SourceMod, the 64-bit builds TF2 needs since its server went 64-bit, and updates both every time it starts, so a TF2 update does not leave your plugins broken for long. Your admins, plugins and their configs are never overwritten, and a plugin you switched off stays off.

Every map, and the ones you bring

All 238 official maps are on the server from the first start. Paste a Steam Workshop link and the server downloads that map from Steam; upload a .bsp and it is kept with your server’s files. Play any of them now, or put them in a map cycle that runs in your order, or that players vote on with MapChooser.

A live console with no RCON setup

The Server Console runs commands inside your server, on srcds’ own console: who is on with their SteamIDs, kick, ban, chat, change map, restart the round, add or remove bots, scramble the teams, and any other command. Nothing is exposed to the internet for it.

Admins without editing files

Add SourceMod admins by SteamID with ready-made rights for an owner, an admin, a moderator or a reserved slot, or pick the flags yourself. Saving reloads SourceMod’s admins at once, so the new admin has !admin in chat straight away.

Bans that stick, and lifting them

A permanent ban is written to the server’s ban list the moment it is made, and the list is read back on every start. The Bans tab shows every ban, by SteamID with a link to the Steam profile or by IP, timed or permanent, and lifts any of them.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about our hosting service

$4.49/month for 12 players (1.5 vCores, 2 GB of RAM, 30 GB of storage), $4.99/month for 24 players (2 vCores, 3 GB, 30 GB) and $5.99/month for 32 players (2.5 vCores, 4 GB, 30 GB). Billing is pay-as-you-go with no long-term contract.
Yes. With SourceMod on (the default), the server installs Metamod:Source and SourceMod, the 64-bit builds TF2 needs, and updates both every time it starts, so a TF2 update does not leave your plugins broken for long. The SourceMod tab lists your plugins, switches them on and off, uploads new ones and manages your admins.
Open the SourceMod tab, press Owner (everything) and paste your SteamID64 (the number in your Steam profile's link, or from steamid.io). Save, and the server reloads its admins at once: type !admin in chat in game for the admin menu.
TF2 lists a community server in the Internet tab only when it logs into Steam with a Game Server Login Token. Make one for free at steamcommunity.com/dev/managegameservers with App ID 440, and paste it into Steam Game Server Token in Deployment Settings. Without one, friends can still join with connect and the address in the console.
Yes. The Maps tab plays any of the 238 official maps, any Steam Workshop map by its link (the server downloads it from Steam), or a .bsp you upload. Players download custom maps from the server when they join; for big ones you can set a FastDL URL in Server Settings.
In the Maps tab, add maps to the map cycle with their + buttons, put them in order and save. The server moves to the next map in your cycle each time one ends. With SourceMod's MapChooser switched on, players vote on the next map among your cycle instead.
