OCS RAM advisor
Guidance, not a guarantee
Turn workload details into a starting recommendation.
Suggested starting memory6 GB
Calculated from the selected player target, content profile, persistent data, and a small operating buffer.
How it works: the advisor uses a game-specific baseline, expected player workload, selected content intensity, save or database maturity, and headroom. CPU behavior, single-thread performance, optimization, and third-party integrations still require human review.
Advanced allocation
Shape the supporting service.
Each control starts at the package-included allowance. Only resources selected above that baseline add to the recurring estimate; migration, licensing, routing, and managed work still require final review.
NVMe storage80 GB included · $0.25 per extra GB
Backup slots1 included · $2.50 per additional slot
Databases1 included · $1.20 per additional database
Additional ports1 included beyond the primary server port · $0.80 per extra port
Location and latency guidance
Where will most players connect from?
This provides routing guidance only. It does not run a live ping test or promise a specific node, location, or millisecond result.
Editable after the advisor selects a starting preference.
Suggested routing request
Best available route
We will review where the majority of your players connect from and confirm the strongest available route before deployment.
OCS sizing note
Recommendations are planning estimates, not performance guarantees. Mods, plugins, scripts, maps, entities, databases, versions, optimization, storage use, CPU behavior, and external integrations all affect the final result.
The displayed recurring estimate includes RAM at $1.00/GB. Every game server also includes 80 GB storage, 1 database, 1 backup slot, and 1 additional port beyond the primary server port. Extra storage is $0.25/GB, extra databases are $1.20 each, extra backup slots are $2.50 each, and extra ports are $0.80 each. RAM and location guidance remain planning tools rather than performance guarantees.
Built around the server
Not every CS2 server behaves the same.
The right starting point depends on how the server is configured, how much content it loads, where the audience connects from, and what kind of community it serves. We review those details before treating an automated estimate like a promise.

A cleaner launch route
From configuration to running service.
Validate
We check versions, frameworks, content, databases, storage, routing availability, licensing, and expected load.
Prepare
The service configuration, migration route, access plan, deployment preference, and final recurring price are confirmed.
Launch
Your server moves into service with access details and the agreed support path.
