Game server hosting
Bring friends together for another Killing Floor 2 holdout. Set the difficulty and mode, choose maps for your group, and keep a dedicated server ready for the next co-op session.
Playing about four hours per week? A typical Killing Floor 2 server could cost $0.46 per month in usage. Leave the same server running 24/7 and it could cost $14.40 per month.
Both estimates use 4 GB RAM, 2 vCPU, and 20 GB storage, with no dedicated IP required. Casual play includes stopped-server storage; the always-on example does not because storage is charged during stopped time. A stopped server keeps its world subject to account retention rules, but players cannot join until it is started again; startup time varies.
These Standard-account estimates are not guaranteed bills. Actual usage depends on resources, running time, storage, and optional services. The separate one-time server creation fee is 50 credits ($0.05). Credit purchases start at 3,000 credits ($3); that minimum purchase is account balance, not a monthly hosting charge.
Adjust this estimate in the hosting cost calculator or read Billing and Credits.
Choose from 2–12 GB RAM and 1–6 vCPU. The Create Server form starts at 4 GB RAM and 2 vCPU and gives 4–8 GB RAM and 2–4 vCPU as starting guidance. Check the live estimate, available resources, and usage during a real session; the suggested range is not a performance guarantee.
Choose Survival, Weekly Outbreak, Versus Survival, Endless, or Objective, then select difficulty, wave length, starting map, and player limits. Settings apply at the next start or restart.
Copy the assigned Game address from Overview and join through the in-game console. The separate Query and Steam ports support discovery and Steam networking. Standard shared networking does not require a dedicated IP.
The live form estimates running charges from selected RAM, CPU, and time online. New servers have a one-time 50-credit creation fee; persistent storage may still incur charges while stopped. One credit is US $0.001.
The Backups area creates full server recovery points that include persistent server files and configuration. Restore an earlier point only when you are ready to replace the current server files.
Choose resources and expected running time to see an estimate in dollars and credits. RAM and CPU are charged while running; storage is charged while stopped. Dedicated-IP games include the relevant IP assumption in the estimate. The calculator uses a 30-day month and does not include the one-time 50-credit creation fee.

Storage is charged only during estimated stopped time. Membership/reservation behavior can alter stopped-server dedicated-IP charges.
Set, replace, or remove the player join password. Owners can reveal it in Properties or grant trusted linked Discord users Get Password access, which returns it privately. The administrator password stays separate and is never revealed through these controls.
Subscribe to Steam Workshop items that support dedicated servers. Start on a stock map while KF2 downloads the content, then confirm an installed map before adding it to rotation. Compatibility varies; mutators and forced per-item updates are not supported. Steam Workshop files are not available to Epic Store players.
Start, stop, or restart the server, follow Console and Logs, change saved settings, manage maps, and create or restore full-server backups. Public WebAdmin, RCON, arbitrary console commands, and live kick or ban controls are not provided.
From My Servers, choose Create New Server → Killing Floor 2, choose a location and resources, and review the live estimate. The creation flow shows whether KF2 is currently available for your account.
No. MaximusHost assigns a shared connection address for your server and shows the Game address in your dashboard.
Copy the Game address from Overview and enter open followed by that address in the KF2 in-game console. The Query and Steam ports are for other networking functions.
No. The Mods tab supports subscriptions, but each item must also support dedicated servers and the selected mode. The panel does not show per-item download progress, enable mutators, or force individual Workshop updates. Epic Store players cannot download files hosted only on Steam Workshop.
The dashboard does not provide public WebAdmin, RCON, a live player roster, or remote kick and ban controls. It does provide server lifecycle controls, saved settings, console output, maps, and backups.
One credit is US $0.001 and a new server has a one-time 50-credit creation fee. Review the live estimate for your selected RAM, CPU, and running time. Storage may still incur charges while stopped. The page examples show estimated running usage separately from the setup fee.
