Rent an Assetto Corsa Server

Yes, every driver needs Assetto Corsa on Steam. The dedicated server itself runs independently and is permanently reachable, with nobody having to host the game.

Assetto Corsa is lightweight. 2 GB RAM is enough for full grids on most tracks. Only very large modded tracks with many slots benefit from more.

Yes. Mod cars and tracks are supported — all drivers need the same mods. CSP (Custom Shaders Patch) and Sol for weather and visuals run client-side.

In pickup mode drivers can join and leave any time — ideal for open servers. In booking mode everyone reserves their slot in advance, which suits organised races and leagues.

The easiest way is via Content Manager: your server appears in the list or can be joined via direct connect (IP:port). You get your own subdomain.

For leagues we recommend booking mode: every driver reserves their slot in advance with name and car. Use `entry_list.ini` to define fixed starting positions and vehicles. The server result logs can then be used for championship scoring — many communities use tools like stracker or AC results APIs for this purpose.

Yes. Every server includes a subdomain like my-server.gs.game-serverhosting.com, and you can change it anytime in the dashboard.

For every server you enable Uptime Kuma (server monitoring) and Game Server Watcher (server status in Discord/Telegram) with one click in the dashboard at no extra cost, plus one bot such as Sinusbot (music bot for Discord/TeamSpeak). Every additional bot costs extra.

Typical initial setup: about 2 minutes. Queues or large installations can take longer. Setup creates the subdomain and DNS records automatically, and for Minecraft also accepts the EULA and installs Geyser.

There is no long-term minimum. Billing is a monthly subscription and automatic renewal can be disabled. Longer terms may qualify for discounts.

You choose the location at checkout: Germany (Falkenstein and Limburg) or France (Roubaix) — all in the EU, connected to the major European exchanges. Low pings for players across Germany, Austria and Switzerland at both locations, and solid latency for the rest of Europe.

The best provider is the one that shows you what you get before you pay: RAM, slots, location, price and cancellation terms. Here the price and resources are visible in the configurator before checkout, there is no minimum term and setup is automated — feel free to compare that with other offers. Assetto Corsa starts here at 3.98 EUR per month, and setup typically takes about 2 minutes.

Self-hosting costs power, time and a machine that runs around the clock; port forwarding, updates and backups are on you. A rented server is online within minutes, keeps running when your PC is off, and updates and backups are included; data-center DDoS protection is included at every location. For one or two friends on a single evening self-hosting is often fine — for a persistent world, renting pays off.

Yes, you can do it yourself in the customer area using a slider. An upgrade takes effect immediately: you only pay the prorated difference for the remaining term, and the new price applies from the next renewal. A downgrade takes effect on the next renewal date. Your world, settings and subdomain are kept, and depending on the game, a restart is required afterwards. With monthly payment and a minimum term, the change is only possible once that term has ended, and for games with a slot-based plan it is not available.
