Our home base. Best-in-class latency for UK players, with excellent connectivity to Ireland and Western Europe.
Connect Hosting isn't just another game server provider that bolted on BeamMP support as an afterthought. We're a UK-registered company, officially partnered with the BeamMP development team, and BeamMP hosting is what we built our platform around from day one. That distinction shapes everything about the experience.
Most hosting providers treat game servers as interchangeable commodities — spin up a Docker container, expose some ports, and hand over a generic control panel.
Most hosting providers treat game servers as interchangeable commodities — spin up a Docker container, expose some ports, and hand over a generic control panel. They support 50+ games and none of them particularly well. Our approach is the opposite. We built custom tooling specifically for BeamMP: a one-click mod manager that handles BeamNG.drive's unique mod format, automatic server browser integration, BeamMP-specific performance tuning for the Lua-based server runtime, and monitoring that understands BeamMP's player connection patterns.
Being UK-based means our primary support team operates during GMT/BST hours on Discord — the same timezone as our London servers and the majority of the European BeamMP community. When you raise a support ticket at 7pm on a Tuesday, you're not waiting for a US team to wake up. You're talking to someone who understands both the hosting stack and the BeamMP ecosystem.
Our partnership with BeamMP gives us something else: early access to server updates and direct communication with the development team. When BeamMP pushes a new server version, we test it on our infrastructure before it goes live. When there's a compatibility issue between a mod and the latest release, we can flag it directly to the developers. This means fewer surprises for you — your server stays stable through updates, and when issues do arise, we're already working on them before most players notice.
The London location specifically is where we run our own internal development servers. It's the location we know most intimately, it's where we benchmark every performance improvement, and it's where new features hit first. If you want the tightest possible hosting experience, London is our home turf.
United Kingdom, Ireland, France, Netherlands, Belgium, Western Europe
5-12ms from the UK, 15-25ms from Western Europe, 18-30ms from France and Benelux
Tier III+ facility in London — the largest internet exchange point in Europe (LINX) processes over 5 Tbps of peak traffic daily, and our servers peer directly into it.
10Gbps uplink with direct peering into LINX, plus connections to BT, Virgin Media, Sky, TalkTalk, and all major UK ISPs. Enterprise DDoS mitigation with volumetric and application-layer protection.
London is Connect Hosting's home turf — we're a UK-based company and this is our flagship location. For British BeamMP players, nothing beats a London-hosted server. With direct peering into the London Internet Exchange (LINX), the largest IXP in Europe, our London servers have the shortest possible network path to every major UK ISP. Players on BT, Virgin Media, Sky, and EE see 5-12ms ping consistently. The UK has one of the strongest BeamNG.drive communities in Europe, with a thriving car culture that translates directly into BeamMP — from JDM meets to rally stages, British players are some of the most active in the BeamMP ecosystem. London also provides surprisingly good connectivity to Western Europe. Paris connects at 18-22ms, Amsterdam at 12-15ms, and Brussels at 14-18ms. This makes London an excellent choice for mixed UK-European communities. Ireland (Dublin) sees 12-16ms via direct subsea fibre. If you're part of the UK BeamMP scene, hosting in London means your community members get the responsiveness that BeamNG.drive's physics demand — every bump, crash, and drift syncs in near-real-time. Our support team operates primarily during UK hours on Discord, so you're getting native timezone assistance too.
All plans include DDoS protection, unlimited player slots, NVMe storage, and 24/7 support.
Central or Eastern European? Our Frankfurt location gives you lower latency. Scandinavian? Check out Helsinki.
We run the biggest UK BeamMP meet-up server — 40+ players on weekends. Moved to Connect's London DC six months ago and the difference is mental. 8ms average ping for our crew. Zero downtime since.
As a UK-based community with Dutch and French members, London gives everyone sub-25ms. The mod support is brilliant — upload a zip and it just works. Best BeamMP host we've used.
I started with the free trial, had a paid server running 20 minutes later. The fact they're actually based in the UK and know BeamMP properly makes a massive difference compared to generic American hosts.
BeamMP server hosting in London
UK players consistently see 5-15ms ping. London-based players get 2-5ms, Manchester and Birmingham 8-12ms, Edinburgh and Glasgow 12-16ms, Cardiff 8-10ms. These are some of the lowest latencies achievable in the UK for any game server, thanks to direct LINX peering with every major British ISP.
