American Truck Simulator friend-server hosting — a private ATS convoy for your group

You want a private American Truck Simulator convoy session that stays up so your friends can drive together, without strangers joining. This site has no separate ATS overview yet. This page covers the small-group convoy setup. For another driving game, see the BeamMP friend server.

The job: a convoy that's always online, with low ping

  • Players: a friend group usually means 2–8 drivers. Convoy sessions are light on resources, so a small plan is usually enough.
  • Mods: every driver needs the same map DLCs and mods as the server, so agree on your mod list before you buy.
  • Ping: node location affects how smoothly trucks sync in a convoy.

Comparison: who sells American Truck Simulator for a friend group

Each host's ATS URL was checked with a full live GET on 24 Oct 2026 (NZDT). Each host sets its own prices, in USD. TBD means the page we fetched had no clear dollar figure. 404 means the product URL returned 404 or we found no ATS SKU.

Oceania notes

From NZ/AU, a US node adds well over 150 ms. Nodecraft's ATS page lists Sydney, Melbourne and Auckland. For other hosts, check the location list and confirm ATS stock before you pay. See the Oceania ping guide.

Price honesty

We only list prices the host prints clearly, and we don't make any up. Nodecraft's lower first-month price is a sale, and you pay the higher rate after that. Compare totals with the budget under ~$20 guide.
