Common Questions

How do I change the game mode?

Use the g_gametype command followed by the mode code:

/rcon g_gametype sd
/rcon map_restart

See Available Game Modes for all codes.

Why must I keep the advert in hostname?

Free servers require the "free @ fshost.me" advert as part of the hostname. This is a requirement for using our free hosting service.

How do I add custom maps?

Contact FSHOST support via Discord with your custom map requests and download links.

What is RCON password?

RCON (Remote Console) password allows you to manage your server remotely. Find it on your Free Server Panel.

Can I disable PunkBuster?

PunkBuster is enabled by default. For configuration changes, contact support. Note that disabling it may increase cheating.
