Killing Floor 2 Server Hosting
Killing Floor 2 is a six-player co-op server that idled under 1 GB on our test, so 4 GB leaves plenty of room. The catch is disk: the install is about 31 GB, so every KF2 server ships with 50 GB — enough for the game, its updates and your logs.
- Killing Floor 2 dedicated server
- 6-player co-op (12 in versus)

- Order it as Killing Floor 2: switching in from another game isn't offered, because it needs its own 50 GB disk
- Full file + console access
- Backups on a schedule you set

Your first hour on Killing Floor 2

Connect
Your address and port are on the server page in the panel. Paste the address into Killing Floor 2's multiplayer screen; if it asks for a port separately, use the one the panel lists — not one from a forum post.

Killing Floor 2 server requirements: RAM and players
Killing Floor 2 needs 4 GB before anyone connects. These are the plans our calculator picks for a few common group sizes, using the same numbers as the calculator above.
| Players online | RAM needed | Plan | Monthly |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2 | 4.0 GB | 4 GB | $11.99/mo |
| 4 | 4.0 GB | 4 GB | $11.99/mo |
| 6 | 4.0 GB | 4 GB | $11.99/mo |
Disk, maps and admin
The Killing Floor 2 install is about 31 GB, so every KF2 server ships with a 50 GB disk, whatever plan size you choose. That is also why it has to be ordered as Killing Floor 2: switching an existing server into it isn't offered.
Server Name, Map Name and Difficulty are on the panel's Startup tab. Every server is created with its own random Admin Password, shown on the same tab.
Workshop maps are added by listing their Workshop IDs in the server's KFEngine.ini, then restarting.
Killing Floor 2 server hosting FAQ
How much RAM does a Killing Floor 2 server need?
Less than you'd think: it idled under 1 GB in our tests, so 4 GB leaves plenty of room for a full six-player game.
Why does it come with 50 GB of disk?
The game itself is about 31 GB. 50 GB leaves room for updates, Workshop maps and logs.
How many players can join?
Six in co-op, which is the game's limit (12 in versus).
How do I add Workshop maps?
List the Workshop IDs in the server's KFEngine.ini and restart. The server downloads them, and players get them when they join.
How do I become admin?
Use the Admin Password shown on the Startup tab. Each server gets its own random one.
Can I switch another server to Killing Floor 2?
No. KF2 needs its own 50 GB disk, so order it directly.
How much does a Killing Floor 2 server cost?
From $11.99 a month for 4 GB, disk included. Terms of 3, 6 and 12 months are 10%, 15% and 20% off, with no setup fee.
Is DDoS protection included?
Yes, on every plan. Traffic is filtered at the network edge before it reaches your server.
Not sure about the size?
The calculator above is sized from our boot tests and published host sizing — 4 GB to boot, and that covers all 6 players the server is set up for. If you'd rather compare every plan side by side, they're on the pricing page.
