Game servers by the hour
BeamMP (BeamNG.drive) server hosting
BeamMP is multiplayer for BeamNG.drive: crashes, races and convoys with friends on the stock maps or your own. A dedicated server stays up for the group with the mods already loaded, so nobody has to host from their own PC.
Your BeamMP (BeamNG.drive) server in five minutes
This is the whole of it. No files to edit, nothing to install on your own computer.
-
Pick BeamMP (BeamNG.drive)
Press New server, find BeamMP (BeamNG.drive) among the games, and you're on step two. Everything about it can be changed later.
-
Give it a name
The name your friends will see, the name in the game and a join password. The page tells you what it costs before you press anything. Then Create server.
-
It installs itself
The server downloads BeamMP (BeamNG.drive) and starts on its own: a few minutes the first time, seconds after that. You can watch it on the server's page, or come back when it's done.
-
Send your friends the address
The server page shows the address and the password, with a Copy button and a ready-made invite. Start BeamNG.drive through the BeamMP launcher (free, beammp.com), then Direct connect with the address on the server page. There is no join password: a Private server is only reachable by its address, so share it with your friends only.
When everyone's gone, the server goes to sleep by itself and switches off a little later. This one wakes the moment a friend joins; nobody has to press Start.

| A weekend of BeamMP (BeamNG.drive) | Credits | About |
|---|---|---|
| Friday 3 hours, Saturday 4, Sunday 3 | 110 credits | $4.60 |

The honest line: if your group plays every evening, a flat monthly server elsewhere is cheaper, and we'll tell you so. ToastHosting is for groups of 2 to 8 that play on Friday nights and Sunday afternoons, and for groups that play BeamMP (BeamNG.drive) this weekend and something else the next: put it away, start another, pay for what you played. The first hour of a new account is free. The sums, by the hour or by the month →

Questions about BeamMP (BeamNG.drive) here
How many people can play on a BeamMP (BeamNG.drive) server here?
Groups of 2 to 8 are the usual size; the game's own limit applies. Every server gets 2 cores and 4 GB to itself, and you can switch more memory on if a big group needs it.
Do my friends need an account?
No. They join the game with the server's address, like any other server. An account is only for the person who runs it.
What happens when nobody is playing?
The server goes to sleep after a few minutes and switches off a little later, so you stop paying by the hour. Most games wake it when a friend joins. Off or asleep, your world stays exactly as it was.
Can I download my world?
This game keeps no world file. Your settings and mod files are in every backup, a click away on the server's page.
How do I get in?
Create an account on the sign-in page with your email address and confirm it from the mail you get. The first hour of a new account is free.
