How to make a Team Fortress 2 server

A Team Fortress 2 server on FadeHost takes a few minutes — and since the game is free-to-play, your whole community can join without buying anything.

  1. 1

    Create your server

    Start the free 7-day trial (no credit card) or pick a plan — 1 GB covers a standard server; 2 GB for 32 slots with SourceMod. Then hit Create Server in the panel, choose Team Fortress 2 and your region, and the server installs itself. Your server's address and port appear on the server page as soon as it's up.

  2. 2

    Pick your map and slots

    Set the start map (ctf_2fort by default), max players, server name and an optional join password from the Settings tab. For trade, surf or MvM servers, upload SourceMod and your maps via the file manager — custom.cfg survives restarts.

  3. 3

    Join the server

    Open the in-game server browser and search your server name, or use connect in the console (~) with the address and port from your server page. The server is VAC-secured and publicly listed automatically.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much RAM does a TF2 server need?

1 GB runs a standard 24-slot server comfortably; plan 2 GB for a full 32-slot server with SourceMod plugins and custom maps.

Can I run trade, MvM, surf or jump servers?

Yes — install SourceMod via the file manager or SFTP, add your maps to the maps folder and set the start map in your server settings. Custom configs live in custom.cfg, which survives restarts.

Do I need a Game Server Login Token (GSLT)?

No. TF2 servers run anonymously and still appear in the server browser — create the server and it's public immediately.

Do my players need to buy anything?

No — Team Fortress 2 is free-to-play on Steam, so anyone can download the game and join your server at no cost.
