Custom Fortress Server Hosting, Explained

What is Custom Fortress?

New to Custom Fortress?

What is Custom Fortress?

Custom Fortress is a free, community-driven mod for Team Fortress 2. It removes as many hardcoded limits as it can, so new content is easier to make, and adds new options to control every part of a server. It ships with community-made weapons, taunts and cosmetics, and brings back cut content like the Bigger is Better set, the Never Forget hat and the Sandman's old full stun as options a server owner can turn on. It is free on Steam and needs Team Fortress 2, which is free to play.

New Community Content.

The Handy Partner, The Holy Marlin, The Afterburner and new taunts like The Trust Fall.

Restored Cut Content.

Scrapped hats, cut weapons and old weapon behaviour, back as options.

Why rent a server?

What is Custom Fortress Server Hosting?

A server hosted from the game closes when the host leaves, and the host's PC runs the match for everyone. A dedicated server keeps your Custom Fortress server online around the clock, so your group can play any time with the same rules. With Physgun it deploys in minutes, with the start map, max players and passwords in the panel, gameplay, rounds and classic weapons in the config editor, and full file access over SFTP and SSH.

Always Online.

Your server stays up when you log off, so your community can play any time.

Full Control.

Set your map, max players and house rules from one panel.
