Starting at from €4.99/mo
Introduction
Service operated by our subsidiary Gamost, specialist in game server hosting. Ordering, panel and billing happen on gamost.com.
In 2023 Counter-Strike 2 replaced CSGO and inherited its historic esport community. The Source 2 engine, dynamic smoke system and sub-tick netcode require premium network infrastructure. By-Hoster / Gamost ships French CS2 servers tuned for competitive play.
In a competitive FPS like CS2, latency is critical: every millisecond matters on duels, peeks and flicks. Our servers run in our DC-FR_NA(01) datacenter in Nouvelle-Aquitaine with optimised peering to the main French ISPs (Orange, Free, SFR, Bouygues), guaranteeing latency under 25 ms from most of mainland France.
Infrastructure sized for competitive play: tickrate 128 enabled by default, native SourceMod / MetaMod support for plugins (Get5, MatchZy, PugSetup, PracticeMode), dedicated IP to avoid port conflicts and a web panel to manage maps, configs and RCON. From €4.99/mo, no contract.

Frequently asked questions
Yes. All our CS2 servers run on tickrate 128 by default (-tickrate 128 in the launch line). CS2 now uses sub-tick for inputs, but the server tickrate still matters for network update propagation. No extra cost, no paid add-on.
CS2 has partial SourceMod support via CounterStrikeSharp and MetaMod. Competitive plugins (MatchZy, Get5) are supported and installable in one click from our panel. PracticeMode, RetakesAllocator and WarMod are also available.
Yes. Every Gamost CS2 server gets a dedicated IP with the standard port 27015 (and 27020 for GOTV). Your players can join directly via connect ip:27015 with no conflict with other servers.
10 slots for 5v5 scrims and matches (8 players + 2 GOTV). 12-16 slots for casual communities with spectators. 20-32 slots for DM/FFA or public servers. CS2 technically supports up to 64 slots, but rarely useful in practice.
DC-FR_NA(01) datacenter in Nouvelle-Aquitaine with major FR peering: stable latency from Bordeaux, Toulouse, Paris, Lyon and the rest of France, as well as from BeNeLux, Switzerland and northern Spain. A solid setup for French-speaking competitive play.
RCON is reachable directly from the Gamost web panel (built-in console) or via the in-game CS2 console (rcon_password your_pwd then rcon command). RCON password is auto-generated on creation and can be changed at any time.
