Contagion Server Hosting, Explained
New to Contagion?
What is Contagion?
Contagion is a first-person zombie survival shooter on the Source engine, and a spiritual successor to the Half-Life 2 mod Zombie Panic! Source. Survivors scavenge for scarce ammo, weapons and tools against slow but dangerous zombies that only stay down with a bullet to the brain. Objectives, items and paths change every round, so no two runs are the same. Escape and Extraction are co-op, while in Hunted and Panic players turn on each other and the dead come back as zombies.
Co-op Survival.
Complete objectives as a team, share what little ammo you find, and call in your rescue.
Infection and PvP.
A bite can turn a survivor, and in Hunted and Panic the dead hunt the living.
Why rent a server?
What is Contagion Server Hosting?
A Contagion lobby runs on one player's PC, so everyone plays on that player's connection and the game ends when they leave. A dedicated server keeps yours online around the clock, without a PC left on at home or ports to forward. We deploy it in minutes, with the start map, difficulty, tick rate, player slots and password in our panel, Workshop maps downloaded when it starts, and full file access over SFTP and SSH.
Always Online.
Your server stays up when the host logs off, so your group can play any time.
Full Control.
Set your map, difficulty and rules, turn infection off, and add Workshop maps.
