We're proudly partnered with Beam MP to offer instant installation with Sonoran Servers!
Sonoran Servers makes it easy to estimate what server specifications to pay for. Utilizing the game developer recommended hardware specifications we recommend based on the number of players you want to support on your game server.
Select the number of slots you want your server to support. Make sure you that BeamMP is selected as the "Game Mode" and adjust any other options you would like before clicking "ORDER NOW" to continue.
Review your order, add any additional items and fill out the information requested before checking out.
BeamMP will require you to create a license key and configure your server before you can get playing, follow along to find out how to use our Game Server Control Panel to do so.
Click the green button "Go to Panel" to access the Game Server Control Panel.
Select the option to log in with your Sonoran Servers customer login.
Select your Server from the list, if this is your first game server with us there should only be one.
Click the "Startup" Button on the sidebar.
Once logged in click the "Keys" link on the sidebar then click on the word "here" as shown below to create a new key.
Fill in a Server Name, this can be anything you choose and the Server IP. The Server IP can be viewed back on the "Console" tab in the Game Server Control Panel from before. For example, the IP below is "172.107.228.160"
Copy the new BeamMP License Key from the page and paste it into the "Authentication Key" field on the Startup tab of the Game Server Control Panel. At this time you can also adjust the Max Players you would like to allow on your BeamMP server as well as the name/description you would like to show on the server list.
Your server is now configured! Simply go to the "Console" tab and click "Start". The server console will start outputting information and you will be able to see the server resource usage at the bottom.
What's that? Don't know how to connect to your BeamMP server? Why let's show you!
First, make sure you have Installed BeamMP, you can find out more here. Once installed launch BeamMP from the start menu.
Next, I suggest clicking on the IP address shown in your Game Server Console window to copy the IP.
In BeamNG.drive, click "Play", then "Multiplayer". If you set your server to Private = false in your Server.cfg file, then your server should show on the server list.
If you have trouble finding it, go ahead and direct connect!
Click "Direct Connect" from the left-hand sidebar, then click the "Paste from Clipboard" button to paste the IP you copied earlier.
Finally, click "Connect" to join your BeamMP server! You should join your game server without any issues.
Go to the on our website and select BeamNG.Drive as the game you would like to purchase a game server for.
Access the and click your game server from the list of your active services.
In a new web browser window, go to and log in with Discord when prompted.
We are waiting on the BeamMP developers to implement a fix on their end
