ETS2 server hosting built for convoys.

Much of ETS2's longevity comes from its huge modding community and official map DLCs. ProMods is the most famous community project, dramatically expanding and improving the map, while official DLCs add entire regions from Scandinavia to the Black Sea. On a dedicated server, the key is making sure every driver runs the same mods so the convoy stays compatible and stutter-free.

EUGameHost makes this simple. Our control panel includes an easy mod installer and full FTP/SFTP access, so you can add ProMods, map extensions, custom trucks, trailers and traffic mods, and our setup keeps every player on the same mods. All official map DLCs are supported, so your convoys can drive the full expanded map of Europe.

ProMods & map extensions

ProMods and other map extensions add new countries, roads and detail to the ETS2 world. Because they can be large, they benefit from NVMe storage and a fast network for quick loading — both of which come standard on every EUGameHost plan, with the panel keeping the modpack synced across your convoy.

Official map DLC

SCS Software's official map DLCs (Going East!, Scandinavia, Vive la France!, Italia, Beyond the Baltic Sea, Road to the Black Sea, Iberia, West Balkans and more) hugely expand the playable map. All are supported on our ETS2 servers, so your community can explore the whole of Europe together.

Custom trucks, trailers & traffic

Beyond maps, the ETS2 community produces custom trucks, trailers, physics tweaks and traffic mods. With full file-level access you can run any of these, and the panel ensures every connected driver loads the same set for a consistent convoy experience.

Self-hosting an ETS2 convoy from a home PC sounds cheaper on paper, but it rarely is once you factor in the realities. The convoy is only online when that one machine is on, it ties up the host's PC and bandwidth, exposes their home IP to attack, and goes offline whenever their power, internet or PC has a wobble. A residential connection also lacks the bandwidth and DDoS protection a public convoy server needs.

Renting a dedicated ETS2 server solves all of this. EUGameHost includes always-on DDoS protection free on every plan, a 10 Gbps network, full FTP/SFTP access for deep customisation, automatic backups and 24/7 support for when something needs a human. With no contracts you can cancel anytime, so renting carries none of the long-term risk of relying on one player's home setup.

A Euro Truck Simulator 2 convoy server is far lighter than a large open-world survival server, but the hardware still matters once you add ProMods, multiple map DLCs and a full convoy of drivers. Strong per-core CPU clock speed keeps convoy synchronisation and physics smooth, fast memory keeps the world responsive, and quick storage makes loading large modpacks painless.

The pressure point is a full convoy running a heavy modpack. With everyone on ProMods and several map DLCs, a low-clock or oversold CPU can stutter and cause desync, which is exactly what spoils a long-haul drive. A high-clock processor, fast DDR4 and NVMe storage are what keep performance steady when the whole convoy is on the road.

CPU and memory

EUGameHost ETS2 plans run on high-clock CPUs, with CPU allocation from 200% on the Basic plan up to 400% on the largest, paired with generous DDR4 memory (16 GB, 24 GB or 32 GB). That headroom keeps convoy synchronisation tight and the world responsive even with large modpacks loaded.

Storage and network

NVMe 4.0 SSD storage slashes the time it takes to load ProMods and map DLC and to stream content to joining drivers, while a 10 Gbps network means bandwidth is never the bottleneck for mod downloads. Both come standard on every ETS2 plan.

Public game servers are frequent DDoS targets, and an attack that knocks your convoy server offline mid-event is exactly the kind of disruption a community remembers. Generic web DDoS protection is largely ineffective against game-layer attacks, which is why proper mitigation has to understand game traffic specifically.

EUGameHost includes always-on DDoS protection on every ETS2 server, with Layer 3 and 4 volumetric mitigation, Layer 7 application filtering and up to 6Tbps of capacity. Crucially, protection is always on and your server is never null-routed during an attack — the failure mode of cheap hosts that quietly take your whole convoy offline the moment they're targeted.

Euro Truck Simulator 2 server hosting is priced mainly on the hardware tier you choose — more CPU and RAM for heavier modpacks and larger convoys. A small private convoy costs very little to run, while a busy community running ProMods and lots of map DLC benefits from more horsepower, and the pricing reflects that.

EUGameHost's ETS2 plans start from £7.50 per month for the Basic plan (16 GB RAM, 200% CPU), with the Recommended plan at £15.00 (24 GB RAM, 250% CPU) and the largest at £30.00 (32 GB RAM, 400% CPU). Billing is flexible: pay monthly, or commit further and save — quarterly saves 10%, semi-annual saves 20% and annual saves 25%. There are no contracts and you can cancel anytime, so you're free to scale your plan up before a big convoy event and adjust it afterwards without penalty.

Location is the difference between responsive convoys and a server that feels laggy for half your drivers. ETS2 convoy synchronisation is sensitive to latency, so you want your server hosted as close as possible to the bulk of your player base to keep ping low and convoy spacing tight.

EUGameHost offers ETS2 locations in the United Kingdom (London) and the United States (Dallas), with routing optimised for European and North American players. London is the natural home for UK and European trucking communities, while Dallas serves North America with low latency.
