    An ATS server built around the states you own

    The base game covers California, Nevada and Arizona, and every map DLC adds more of the country. When you run a dedicated American Truck Simulator server, the map DLC you export with your server packages decides where the convoy can drive, and drivers need the same states to join.

    That makes a hosted server a good home for a crew with a plan: a Route 66 run one week, a coast-to-coast haul the next, always on the same session. It stays open when you log off, and it is ready within 60 seconds after payment.

    ATS server mods and load order

    Truck packs, sound mods, traffic tweaks and map expansions all work in Convoy, as long as the server and every driver use the same files.

    Test the list in single player first

    Activate your mods in the Mod Manager in the order you want, drive a few miles to check nothing conflicts, then export the server packages from that profile. Map mods that change the same area are the usual cause of trouble.

    Required and optional mods

    By default every exported mod is required. A setting in server_config.sii lets drivers join without the mods their authors mark as optional, such as a sound pack, so small cosmetic mods don't keep anyone out.

    Update when the game updates

    After a game update, mods often need their own update too. Re-export the packages once your list works again and upload the new files.

    How to start an American Truck Simulator dedicated server

    • Pick a plan from 4 GB and pay. Your server is ready within 60 seconds.
    • In your game, open the console and run export_server_packages.
    • Upload server_packages.sii and server_packages.dat with the file manager or over sFTP.
    • Set the session name, password and moderators in server_config.sii.
    • Start the server. Drivers search for it in the Convoy menu and join.

    Running a European company too? The same plan runs our Euro Truck Simulator 2 servers, and racers can try our Assetto Corsa servers.

    How much RAM does an ATS server need?

    American Truck Simulator needs 4 GB on our plans, so it runs on 8 of our 9 sizes, from the 4 GB plan at $3.69 USD/month. A few things change the picture:

    • Only the base states and a handful of trucks: the low end of the slider is enough.
    • Every map DLC and big map mod adds more road for the server to load.
    • More drivers online at once need more memory and CPU time.

    There is no slot limit from us. The session size in your config and the RAM you pick set the limit.

    Hardware we own, in Dallas and Amsterdam

    Long hauls with a full session online are steady work for a server. Every plan runs on AMD 9950X/7950X3D processors up to 5.7Ghz with DDR5 RAM, and Samsung NVMe storage keeps restarts quick after you swap in new packages.

    We own the machines in both of our locations, Dallas, TX (United States) and Amsterdam (Netherlands). They share a 10 Gbps network, advanced cooling, UPS backup power and DDoS protection, and Dallas is on the ATS map itself, in the Texas DLC.

    ATS server hosting questions

    Can't find your answer? Ask our support team.

    How fast is my American Truck Simulator server ready?

    Within 60 seconds after payment. You receive the access details by email, then upload your server packages and start the server.

    Do drivers need the same map DLC?

    Yes. The map DLC in your server packages is part of the session, so drivers need the same states to join. Export the packages from a profile with only the DLC your crew owns.

    Can I run mods on an ATS server?

    Yes. Export your server packages from a profile with the mods active in the right load order and upload them. Drivers need the same mods to join.

    What are optional mods?

    Some mod authors mark their mods as optional, for example sound or cosmetic packs. A setting in server_config.sii lets drivers join without them.

    How much RAM do I need for American Truck Simulator?

    American Truck Simulator needs 4 GB, so it runs on 8 of our 9 plans, from $3.69 USD/month. Many DLC states, big map mods and more drivers use more memory.

    Do I need to own the game to run the server?

    The dedicated server itself runs on our machine, so you don't install anything on your PC. You do use your game to export the server packages, and every driver needs the game to join.

    Can I switch to Euro Truck Simulator 2 later?

    Yes. Open the Game Changer and pick Euro Truck Simulator 2 or any other game your plan runs. It is the same plan, so there is nothing new to buy. Make a backup before you switch.

    Where are your ATS servers hosted?

    In Dallas, TX (United States) and Amsterdam (Netherlands), on hardware we own in both locations: AMD 9950X/7950X3D CPUs, DDR5 RAM, Samsung NVMe storage and a 10 Gbps network.
