Start with [getting started](https://help.freakhosting.com/games/assetto-corsa/getting-started-with-your-assetto-corsa-server.md).

## Frequently asked questions

### Which server does FREAKHOSTING run for Assetto Corsa?

The official Kunos dedicated server, `acServer`, on Linux. AssettoServer, which many traffic and freeroam servers use, is a different program. See [AI traffic](https://help.freakhosting.com/games/assetto-corsa/setting-up-ai-traffic.md).

### How do I change my server name, track or cars?

Stop the server, open `cfg/server_cfg.ini` in **Files** and change `NAME`, `TRACK` and `CARS`. Each car you list also needs slots in `cfg/entry_list.ini`. See [getting started](https://help.freakhosting.com/games/assetto-corsa/getting-started-with-your-assetto-corsa-server.md).

### Do players need Content Manager or CSP to join?

No, unless you make your server require CSP. Many players use both anyway. See [Content Manager and CSP](https://help.freakhosting.com/games/assetto-corsa/how-to-install-content-manager-csp-for-assetto-corsa.md).

### Can I use mod cars and tracks?

Yes. Upload their server data to `content/cars/` and `content/tracks/`. Every player needs the same content installed on their PC.
