Counter-Strike: Source Server Hosting, Explained
New to Counter-Strike: Source?
What is Counter-Strike: Source?
Counter-Strike: Source is Valve's 2004 remake of Counter-Strike on the Source engine. Two teams, terrorists and counter-terrorists, play short rounds of bomb defusal and hostage rescue. Each round you buy weapons with money earned in earlier rounds, and a player who dies sits out until the next one. Twenty years on it is still played, mostly on community servers running their own modes such as Surf, Zombie Escape, Jailbreak and Deathrun.
Short, Tactical Rounds.
Plant or defuse the bomb, rescue the hostages, or wipe out the other team, then go again.
Community Modes.
Surf, Zombie Escape, Jailbreak and Deathrun run on custom maps and plugins.
Why rent a server?
What is Counter-Strike: Source Server Hosting?
Valve does not run servers for Counter-Strike: Source, so every game is played on a server someone in the community runs. A dedicated server keeps yours online around the clock, without a PC left on at home or ports to forward. With Physgun it deploys in minutes, with the start map, tickrate and passwords in the panel, match rules in the config editor, a choice of vanilla or SourceMod, and full file access over SFTP and SSH for your maps and plugins.
Always Online.
Your server stays up when you log off, so your community can play any time.
Full Control.
Set your map, rules and passwords, add custom maps, and play vanilla or with SourceMod.
