Guides, tutorials, and tips for BeamMP server hosting.
BeamMP has no built-in voice chat. Here is how players actually talk in 2026: Discord, BeamVoice, and proximity voice built into Connect servers, with setup steps for owners and players.
Proximity voice chat and a 40-channel CB radio are now built into every paid BeamMP server on Connect Hosting. One switch, nothing to install, no extra cost.
BeamMP has no server password — "private" means unlisted plus a whitelist. Two ways to set one up: a hosted server that is private in a minute, or self-hosting with Private = true, port forwarding and direct connect.

Install BeamMP mods without FTP — 361 curated mods, custom uploads to 4GB, install-from-URL, and a map installer that picks the right level for you. Plus what 3,443 public servers say about how many mods you should run.

Four new BeamMP mods that change how your server plays, not just how it looks: PowerUps arcade combat on any map, a DiRT 3-style capture-the-flag mode, and two broadcast cameras for running races. All one-click installable.
Six community-voted mods are now one-click installable on every Connect BeamMP server: Skeleton Coast (the biggest map in BeamNG), Downhill Mayhem, the LeGran Expansion Pack, SP Winch, the GD808 JAS Hypercar, and the FPS Trapez.
We rebuilt Connect Hosting from scratch — not a redesign, a complete ground-up rebuild. New dashboard, one-click mods, server templates and permanent free servers. Here is everything that changed.
