Left 4 Dead Server Hosting, Explained
New to Left 4 Dead?
What is Left 4 Dead?
Left 4 Dead is Valve's co-op shooter set in the aftermath of the zombie apocalypse. Four survivors fight from safe room to safe room through campaigns like No Mercy, Death Toll, Dead Air and Blood Harvest, against hordes of infected and special infected like the Hunter, Smoker, Boomer, Witch and Tank. The AI Director changes the enemies, items and pacing to match how the team plays, so no two runs are the same. Versus hands the special infected to a second team, and Survival sees how long your group can hold out.
Four-Player Co-op.
Heal and revive each other, and react fast when a special infected pins someone.
Versus and Survival.
Play four against four as the infected in Versus, or hold out as long as you can in Survival.
Why rent a server?
What is Left 4 Dead Server Hosting?
A Left 4 Dead 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. With us it deploys in minutes, with the game mode, difficulty, start map and password in the panel, a choice of vanilla or SourceMod, 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 mode, difficulty, map and password, and play vanilla or with SourceMod.
