Order

Build your BeamMP server.

This is the same order form as our Cloud VPS page, narrowed to the 5 Gulf cities above and to sizes with 2 vCPU and 4 GB of RAM or more. It opens on Windows Server 2022; Linux is one choice away in the image step. Add it to the cart when the summary says what you want.

Step 01

Pick a line

Every shape we can build, priced at what the machine costs us plus our margin, across more cities than any other line reaches. The list is long because it is the supplier catalogues themselves — sizes here are named for their shape, not chosen by us. Come here knowing the cores, memory and disk you want; if you do not, Standard is the shorter answer to the same question.

Step 02

Choose a size

Sizes are fixed shapes, not sliders. Changing size later is a support request, and a smaller size usually means a new server because a disk cannot shrink.

Step 03

Choose a region

Put the server near the people using it. Regions cannot be changed in place — moving means building a new server and cutting DNS over.

Middle East

Step 04

Choose an image

Clean vendor images, nothing preloaded that you did not ask for. You can rebuild onto any other image from the panel at any time.

Every image is the vendor's own, unmodified. If you want the machine configured before you log in, add a start-up script below.

Step 05

Choose a term and add-ons

Terms are prepaid. Annual takes 10% off the same monthly rate — it is a discount for paying up front, not a different product.

Billing term

$30.90 charged every month. Switch to annual at any renewal.

How many

One machine. Each one you add is built separately, with its own address and root password.

1

Not available on C2-4-50S in Riyadh — its supplier has no nightly backup service we can switch on for this machine. Take your own backups off the box, or pick a machine that has them.

Sizes

Which size for your server.

BeamMP publishes a floor, not a players-per-core table, so these three sizes are our reading of it: the smallest size on this page, a step up for a busy server with a long mod list, and a large one for running several servers at once. Prices are today's Windows Server 2022 prices, per month, in each city.

What BeamMP itself says

  • The server's minimum, from the BeamMP server FAQ: 50 MiB of usable RAM not counting the operating system, a CPU above 1 GHz and preferably multicore, 10 MiB of disk plus your mods and plugins, and 5 to 10 Mb/s of upload. BeamMP calls these figures guesstimates that change with each release.
  • MaxPlayers and MaxCars are settings in ServerConfig.toml. MaxPlayers is the most players the server accepts and does not affect the vehicle count; MaxCars is the most cars each player can spawn.
  • Every player who joins downloads your mods from the server, so a long mod list spends transfer as well as disk.
  • BeamMP gives no number of players per core or per gigabyte, so we print none. Start on the smallest size, watch the server with your real mods and players, and step up if it struggles.

Latency

Ping from the Gulf, measured.

Round-trip times we measured on 10 October 2026 from data-centre test points in Qatar, Saudi Arabia and Kuwait to our Doha, Riyadh and Bahrain servers. Ten packets each, no packet loss on any pair. Lower is better; the lowest time in each row is in colour.

  • Measured from data-centre test points, so home and mobile connections usually add a few milliseconds.
  • The Kuwait City test point showed about 110 ms to every city alike, which points to that network's route rather than to distance.
  • We have not measured servers in Dubai and Kuwait City, so this page prints no latency figure for those cities.

Which city

Which city for your players.

From the table above and nothing else: where we measured, we say what we measured; where we did not, we say that.

Players in Qatar and Saudi Arabia

Riyadh measured 18 ms or less from every test point in Qatar and Saudi Arabia. Bahrain is the alternative: 14 ms from Doha and 21 ms from Riyadh, but 105 ms from Thuwal.

Order in RiyadhOrder in Bahrain

Players in Qatar only

From Doha, Bahrain measured 14 ms and Riyadh 15 ms. A server in Doha itself measured 31 ms from the same test point, which suits you if you would rather keep the server in Qatar.

Players in the UAE

Dubai is the local city for players in the UAE. We have not measured a server there, so we print no latency figure for it; the table above covers Qatar, Saudi Arabia and Kuwait.

Players in Kuwait

Kuwait City is the local city. From the Kuwait City test point, Doha, Riyadh and Bahrain measured 118, 111 and 110 ms, about the same to each; we have not measured a server in Kuwait City itself. Kuwait City costs more today, $71.90 a month against $30.90 in Riyadh and Bahrain, so Riyadh and Bahrain are the lower-cost neighbours.

Set up

Set up BeamMP on your server.

These steps follow BeamMP's own server guide, in the order that suits a server you reach over Remote Desktop or SSH. BeamMP-Server runs natively on Windows and Linux.

Windows Server 2022

  1. Connect. Sign in to the server over Remote Desktop as Administrator.
  2. Get the server. Install the Visual C++ Redistributable, which BeamMP says the Windows server needs. Download BeamMP-Server.exe from beammp.com or from the official GitHub releases, put it in a folder of its own and run it once: it writes ServerConfig.toml next to itself.
  3. Get an AuthKey. Sign in to the Keymaster with Discord, open Keys, press the green + button, name the key and copy it. BeamMP says to treat it like a password and never share it. A key runs one server at a time, and the number of keys you get is limited.
  4. Edit the config. Open ServerConfig.toml in Notepad and paste the key into AuthKey. Set Name, MaxPlayers and MaxCars, and leave Port at 30814 unless you changed it. The server is not shown in the public list while Private is true, so set it to false if you want it listed. Run the server again and check the window for [ERROR] or [WARN] lines.
  5. Open the port. Allow BeamMP-Server through Windows Firewall, incoming and outgoing, for both TCP and UDP. If the firewall asks for a port, it is 30814 unless you changed it. BeamMP notes that turning the firewall off usually does not work.
  6. Add mods. Put vehicle and map zip files in the Resources\Client folder next to the server. Players download them when they join.
  7. Join and test. Players find a public server by its name in the server list. For a private one they use Direct Connect with your server's IPv4 address and port. BeamMP's guide links a connectivity checker for the address and port.

Linux

  1. Pick a supported image. BeamMP publishes ready-made Linux builds for Ubuntu 22.04 and 24.04 and Debian 12 and 13, so choose Ubuntu 24.04, Ubuntu 22.04 or Debian 12 in the order form.
  2. Install and download. On Debian and Ubuntu the server needs liblua5.3-0. Download the build for your distribution from the official GitHub releases, make it executable and run it once so it writes ServerConfig.toml.sudo apt install liblua5.3-0chmod +x BeamMP-Server.ubuntu.24.04.x86_64./BeamMP-Server.ubuntu.24.04.x86_64
  3. Use a normal user. BeamMP recommends against running the server as root, so create a user such as beammpserver and start the server as that user only.
  4. Key and config. Get the AuthKey and edit the config exactly as in steps 3 and 4 for Windows.
  5. Open the port. If a firewall is running on the server, allow TCP and UDP on port 30814; BeamMP notes that a lot of preinstalled Linux servers need this. Start the server and check the log for [ERROR] or [WARN] lines.

All of this is from BeamMP's own documents: the server setup guide, the server FAQ, server maintenance, port forwarding and the BeamMP-Server repository. Read them for anything beyond a first server.

The details

BeamMP server hosting for players in the Gulf.

What a hosted BeamMP server is, who it is for, and what you are buying.

What a BeamMP server does

BeamMP is the multiplayer mod for BeamNG.drive, and the BeamMP server is the point through which every player's game communicates. Running your own gives your group its own name, map, rules, mods and plugins, instead of whatever a public server allows. This page is for racing, drifting, freeroam and roleplay communities in Qatar, Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Bahrain and Kuwait, and for anyone whose players are there.

Why a VPS instead of your home connection

BeamMP's own guide says hosting on a VPS is easier and more secure than hosting at home. At home you must forward a port on your router, which BeamMP says is not possible on a 4G or 5G connection and may not be on a line that shares one public IPv4 address, and tools such as RadminVPN and Hamachi are not supported. A VPS has its own dedicated IPv4 address, which matters because the BeamMP server only supports IPv4 today, and it stays on when your PC is off.

Mods, maps and plugins

Vehicle and map mods are zip files in the server's Resources/Client folder, and every player who joins downloads them from your server. BeamMP also lets you write Lua plugins for the server. Each size in the table lists its disk and its monthly transfer, which is what a long mod list and a busy night spend.

Windows Server 2022 or Ubuntu

The order form opens on Windows Server 2022 with Remote Desktop access as Administrator on a dedicated IPv4. Ubuntu 22.04, Ubuntu 24.04 and Debian 12 are one choice away and match the Linux builds BeamMP publishes. Either way you install the server yourself: this is a self-managed VPS, not a managed game panel.

Price, renewal and payment

The monthly price you order at is the price it renews at, with no setup fee. Prices are in US dollars and taxes, where they apply, are added at checkout. You can pay by card or crypto. The Windows Server license is included in the Windows price.

How fast it is online

Servers are usually online in under an hour after the order is paid. A few sizes are built by hand by our engineers and can take longer.

BeamMP and BeamNG.drive belong to their respective owners. PartVPS is an independent hosting company and is not affiliated with or endorsed by either.

Questions

What people ask before they buy one.

What ping will I get from Qatar or Saudi Arabia?
On 10 October 2026 we measured from data-centre test points. From Doha: 15 ms to a Riyadh server and 14 ms to a Bahrain server. From Riyadh: 2 ms to a Riyadh server and 21 ms to Bahrain. From Jeddah: 14 ms to Riyadh and 38 ms to Bahrain. Home and mobile connections usually add a few milliseconds. The full table, with Thuwal and Kuwait City, is on this page.
Which city should I pick for a BeamMP server?
If your players are in Qatar and Saudi Arabia together, Riyadh: it measured 18 ms or less from every test point in both countries. If they are in Qatar only, Bahrain or Riyadh, with Doha also available for a Qatar address. If they are in the UAE, Dubai is the local city; we have not measured it, so we print no figure for it. For Kuwait, Kuwait City is the local city and costs more today ($71.90 a month against $30.90 in Riyadh and Bahrain), so Riyadh and Bahrain are the lower-cost neighbours.
How many players does each size hold?
BeamMP publishes no players-per-core or players-per-gigabyte figure, so we print none. Its documentation sets a floor of 50 MiB of RAM, a CPU above 1 GHz (preferably multicore) and 5 to 10 Mb/s of upload, calls those numbers guesstimates, and treats MaxPlayers as a cap you choose in ServerConfig.toml. Start on the smallest size, run your real mods and players, and move up if it struggles; the table above prices every step in every city.
Should I run BeamMP on Windows or Linux?
Either: BeamMP-Server runs natively on both, and BeamMP builds it for Ubuntu 22.04 and 24.04 and Debian 12 and 13. Windows Server 2022 is the default here because you manage it over Remote Desktop and start the server by double-clicking it, and on these sizes it costs the same as Linux. Pick Ubuntu or Debian if you are comfortable on a command line; BeamMP advises against running the server as root.
Which port does a BeamMP server use?
30814 by default, on both TCP and UDP. You can change it in ServerConfig.toml, and you must allow the same port, for both protocols, through the firewall on the server. A second server on the same machine needs its own port, for example 30815, and its own AuthKey, because one key runs one server at a time. BeamMP's guide links a connectivity checker for the address and port.
Can I run mods and custom maps?
Yes. Vehicle mods and map mods go in the Resources/Client folder of your server, and players download them automatically when they join. For a custom map you also set the Map line in ServerConfig.toml. BeamMP warns that mods can be or become incompatible with BeamNG, BeamMP or each other, and says to start removing mods if you hit problems. Every player downloads from your server, so a long mod list spends transfer allowance as well as disk.
Can I upgrade the server later, or move to another city?
Sizes are fixed shapes, not sliders. Changing size later is a support request, and a smaller size usually means a new server because a disk cannot shrink. A city cannot be changed in place either: moving means building a new server in the new city and giving your players its new address. ServerConfig.toml and the Resources folder are plain files, so you copy them across.
Can I pay with crypto?
Yes: card or cryptocurrency (USDT, Bitcoin or Ethereum), and the server costs the same either way. Paying in crypto adds a payment fee of $1 and 5% to the invoice, which the payment page shows before you send anything. Whichever you use, the monthly price renews at the same figure.
