How to connect to your Counter-Strike: Global Offensive server

A Counter-Strike: Global Offensive community server is joined by address. The console command works every time and does not depend on any list.

1. Find your server address

1. Log in to the Client Area at https://playnhost.com/billing and open your service.
2. Note the IP / Hostname and Port. Source servers normally use 27015, and your service may use another port.

2. Turn on the developer console

1. In the game, open Settings, then Game.
2. Set Enable Developer Console to Yes.
3. Press ~ to open it.

3. Connect

1. Type connect 123.45.67.89:27015 with your own address and press Enter.
2. If the server has a password, run password yourpassword first, then connect.

4. Steam favourites

1. Open the Steam client, click View, then Game Servers.
2. On the Favorites tab click Add a Server and enter IP:Port.
3. Select the server and click Connect.

5. What to give your players

• The connect IP:Port line, ready to paste into the console.
• The password, if you set one.
• The server name for the community browser.

If the connection is refused, check the server is running in the panel, that sv_lan is 0 and that a game server token is configured. See the troubleshooting guide in this category.
