Half-Life Server Hosting, Explained
New to Half-Life?
What is Half-Life?
Half-Life is Valve's 1998 first-person shooter. You are Gordon Freeman, a scientist at the Black Mesa Research Facility, and when an experiment goes wrong you fight soldiers and aliens on the way to Xen. Named Game of the Year by over 50 publications, it also has a classic multiplayer deathmatch mode, and the 25th Anniversary Update added four new deathmatch maps.
Fast Deathmatch.
Grab the Gluon Gun, Tau Cannon, Crossbow or Snarks and frag your friends on maps like Crossfire.
Maps and Mods.
Half-Life has a large scene of custom maps and server plugins, built up over decades.
Why rent a server?
What is Half-Life Server Hosting?
A Half-Life dedicated server keeps your deathmatch online around the clock, without a PC left on at home or ports to forward. With Physgun you set the start map, max players, passwords and game version in the panel, match rules and movement in the config editor, switch to AMX Mod X when you want plugins, and get full file access over SFTP and SSH for your own maps and map cycle.
Always Online.
Your server stays up when you log off, so your group can play any time.
Full Control.
Set your map cycle, rules and passwords, and add your own maps and plugins.
