Hosting a Counter-Strike 1.6 server

Counter-Strike 1.6 is the classic team shooter from Valve, sold on Steam simply as Counter-Strike. It first released in 2000 and still has an active community of public servers, clans and mod servers.

Servers run on Valve's Half-Life Dedicated Server software, and communities add plugins and custom maps to run modes beyond the standard bomb and hostage maps. A hosted server keeps your clan's server or public community online all day.

What to compare

  • Low latency first. Pick a datacentre near your players. Ping matters more than raw power for a game this light.
  • Plugin support. Check you can install AMX Mod X and Metamod plugins through file access.
  • Slot pricing. Many hosts charge per slot, so compare the price for the player count you actually need.
  • DDoS protection. Popular public servers attract attacks, so look for protection included in the price.
