Best game server hosts for American Truck Simulator

Rent an American Truck Simulator server: a fixed meeting point for your convoy

Your own American Truck Simulator server suits a trucking company or group of friends that doesn’t want to wait for a particular host. The dedicated server provides a convoy session that stays reachable even without a logged-in player. Before booking, decide who should ride along, which maps you’ll use and whether the session should be public or password-protected.

It’s important that the plan supports the native Convoy mode in American Truck Simulator. Check the supported game version and the currently possible player count directly with the provider. Older guides may list different limits than a current offer. A higher advertised slot count alone does not confirm that your installation is compatible or give a particular driving experience.

Align maps, DLCs and mods for everyone

The server configuration is not fully set up just by clicking a game name. SCS uses exported server packages that take over the map, DLC and mod settings of a running game installation. If you change your setup, the Dedicated Server configuration must match it too. So clarify whether you can upload these files yourself or whether support will handle the switch for you.

A shared plan for the route saves frustration later: fellow players can only drive the map DLCs they own themselves. With mods, it depends on which content is mandatory and which is marked as optional and approved accordingly. Agree on a tested combination instead of switching expansions independently. A mod update shortly before the shared tour should be checked first.

Administration and contract for your schedule

For a regular trucking run, easily changeable login details and several responsible moderators are useful. SCS provides a list for this in the server configuration. Ask the host how you can edit such settings and back them up when the version changes. A clear panel and accessible logs make troubleshooting easier if a driver cannot find or join the convoy.

Compare location, confirmed resources and scope of support together with the total price due. For occasional tours, a short term is often more practical than a long prepayment for a cheap calculated price. Also check the renewal amount and whether updates are predictable. The right plan keeps your agreed configuration reliably available and lets you roll back changes traceably, without every tour starting with a new setup.
