MTA Server Hosting for San Andreas roleplay that lasts
Run your Multi Theft Auto server on a KVM VDS in Frankfurt with full root, your resources and database on the same machine, and multi-Tbps Anti-DDoS in front of the IP.
VDS plans from €32.00EUR per month
Multi Theft Auto servers run Lua resources against a database, and the server binary itself is modest — a Linux package you decompress and run. What actually matters for an MTA community is being reachable: a stable low ping for European players, an IP that survives attacks, and a server that keeps announcing itself to the master list.
Every VDS is a KVM virtual machine in Frankfurt with full root access, guaranteed resources and the same multi-Tbps Anti-DDoS network as the rest of ESAGAMES. You run your resources, your database and your website on one machine.
Everything your Multi Theft Auto server needs
MTA is light on hardware and heavy on uptime. The server barely touches the CPU; what decides whether players stay is ping, availability and whether an attack can take you off the list.
Full root access
Decompress the server package, manage your resources directory, run it under a process manager and update when you choose.
Your resources
Lua gamemodes, maps and scripts — upload them, set the resource list in mtaserver.conf and restart on your own terms.
MySQL on the same box
Accounts, houses, factions and vehicles stay in a database next to the server, so nothing crosses the network.
Anti-DDoS included
The MTA scene attacks itself. Your VDS sits behind multi-Tbps Frankfurt filtering with a dedicated MTA UDP profile.
Stays on the list
With the ASE port open your server keeps announcing itself to the master list, and the filtering keeps it reachable during an attack.
Frankfurt latency
Central-EU routing for stable ping across European and Balkan player bases.
Built for Multi Theft Auto players, not just servers
Hardware, network and protection tuned for game hosting — hosted in one of Europe's best-connected data centres.
Multi-Tbps Anti-DDoS
Your VDS is filtered through our own 13 Tbps+ Frankfurt network — attacks are absorbed before they reach your server. Learn more →
Instant activation
The VDS is provisioned automatically after checkout, so you can log in and start installing within minutes.
Low EU latency
Frankfurt is the heart of European networking. Players across the EU get a stable, low ping for smooth gameplay.
Full root, your setup
A KVM virtual machine you control completely — SteamCMD, mods, scripts and backups, set up the way you want.
Ryzen 9 and Xeon Gold
VDS plans run on Ryzen 9 9950X, Ryzen 9 7950X or Xeon Gold 6230R processors.
24/7 in-house support
Real people run the network and the VDS platform. We keep the machine online; the game server on it is yours to run.
How to make a Multi Theft Auto server
Four steps from checkout to a live server. You will need a Linux command line — or follow our guide line by line.
Pick a VDS plan
MTA is light — size for your database and player count rather than raw CPU.
Install the server
Connect over SSH and decompress the MTA Linux server package.
Add resources and database
Upload your gamemode and resources, import your database and point mtaserver.conf at it.
Open the ports
Allow the game port, the HTTP download port and the ASE port, then start the server and announce it.
How much server do you need?
A Multi Theft Auto server runs on one of our VDS plans. Here is which plan fits — the cores, RAM and disk shown are each plan's current specs.
VDS plans from €32.00EUR per month.
VDS 1
6 GB RAM · 4 vCPU · 60 GB disk
A new server and its first community.
VDS 2
10 GB RAM · 6 vCPU · 100 GB disk
An established roleplay server with a real database.
VDS 3
16 GB RAM · 10 vCPU · 150 GB disk
High population, heavy resources and the website alongside.
Any MTA:SA server
Roleplay, freeroam, racing or deathmatch.
Multi Theft Auto is a top DDoS target — you're covered
Game servers are the #1 target for DDoS attacks. Every ESAGAMES VDS sits behind our multi-Tbps filtering, engineered to absorb modern botnets like AISURU and keep your Multi Theft Auto server online during raids, rivalries and events.
Multi Theft Auto hosting questions, answered
Which ports does an MTA server use?
22003 UDP for player connections and 22005 TCP for the internal HTTP resource download. The ASE port that announces you to the server browser is the game port plus 123 — so 22126 UDP on the defaults.
Why is the ASE port separate?
Because the master list queries it rather than the game port. If it is closed your server runs fine but never appears in the in-game browser, which is the most common reason a new MTA server looks "offline".
How much hardware does MTA need?
Very little by modern standards — Lua resources are light. The entry VDS covers most servers, and the thing that usually grows is the database, not the CPU load.
Do you sell a ready-made MTA game server?
No. You rent a VDS and run the MTA Linux server on it yourself, which gives you control over resources, the database and update timing.
Can I host the website on the same machine?
Yes. The site, the UCP and the database normally share the VDS with the server.
Is it DDoS protected?
Always — multi-Tbps Frankfurt filtering with a dedicated Multi Theft Auto UDP profile.
