How do my friends get the mods I installed?

Automatically. Zipped mods placed in Resources/Client are transferred to each player during the connection handshake, so their copy of BeamNG.drive loads the same vehicles and maps as everyone else. You do not need to distribute files separately. Server-side Lua scripts belong in Resources/Server and never download to clients.

How many players can I put on one BeamMP server?

You choose. MaxPlayers and MaxCars in ServerConfig.toml set the lobby size, and we never meter or charge for slots. Sync traffic and CPU load rise with the number of cars rather than players parked in the pits, so most admins pair a higher MaxPlayers value with a sensible MaxCars limit.

Where do I get the BeamMP authentication key?

Keys come from the official BeamMP keymaster site, free of charge, and are tied to your account rather than to us. Paste the key into the AuthKey field in ServerConfig.toml using the panel file manager and restart. Without it the server runs privately but will not appear in the public server list.

Can I change the map my BeamMP server runs?

Yes. The Map value in ServerConfig.toml points at a level path, so switching from Gridmap to West Coast USA, Italy or a mod map is a one-line edit followed by a restart from the live console. If you use a custom map, upload the zip to Resources/Client first so clients receive it when they join.

About BeamMP hosting

BeamMP Hosting Without The Home Router

BeamMP turns BeamNG.drive into a shared sandbox, but running it from a gaming PC means your upload speed and your bedtime decide when the server exists. A hosted instance runs continuously on enterprise hardware with DDoS protection included, and the panel handles the pieces people usually fight with: ports, restarts, file uploads and log access from a live console.

Setup completes automatically after checkout, with nothing to compile and no router to reconfigure. Add the authentication key from the BeamMP keymaster, pick a server name and description, restart from the console, and your entry shows up in the in-game list for anyone you hand the address to.

Syncing Vehicle And Map Mods

Mod distribution is the part BeamMP handles best. Upload zipped vehicle or map mods into the Resources/Client directory through the panel file manager or SFTP, and the server pushes them to each client as it connects, so your lobby never has mismatched configs. Server-side Lua plugins live in Resources/Server for things like event scripts and admin tooling.

Large packs are not a problem because storage is unmetered NVMe, and the daily backup rotation keeps ten slots of your exact mod set. That makes it safe to try a new pack and roll back if the lobby hates it.

Tuning ServerConfig.toml Settings

Everything else is in ServerConfig.toml: the server name and description, MaxPlayers, MaxCars, the map path such as the gridmap or Italy level, private mode and your auth key. Edit it in the file manager, restart from the console, and the changes are live. Network tools in the panel show your assigned ports, and ten unmetered allocations mean a second instance for testing is free.

BeamMP hosting FAQ

Still unsure? Ask our team.

BeamMP is lighter on memory than most survival games because vehicle physics run on each client. Small cruise groups are fine on 2 GB at $5.00 or 3 GB at $7.50. Once you run large mod packs, busy maps and a dozen or more cars in play, 6 GB or 8 GB gives the process comfortable headroom.
