Counter-Strike: Source Hosting

CS:S is nearly free on RAM and brutal on one core: buy clock speed and slot headroom, not memory.

Every kind of Counter-Strike: Source server

Adaptive features

Tuned for Counter-Strike: Source, out of the box

SourceMod's home turfCS:S is where the Source plugin scene grew up, and all of it still works. MetaMod and SourceMod install from the panel in one click, then Zombie:Reloaded, GunGame or a surf timer drop straight into the plugins folder over FTP.
Real tickrate choiceCS2 locked everyone to subtick, but CS:S can still go faster. Stock servers have run 66 tick since the 2010 Orange Box update, and the community Tickrate Enabler plugin restores the 100 tick that surf and bhop scenes never gave up. srcds simulates everything on one main thread, so we put high-clock cores behind it instead of idle cores the engine will never touch.
FastDL for community-size mapsZombie escape and surf maps are some of the biggest files in Source. Point sv_downloadurl at a FastDL host with bzip2-compressed maps and a first join takes seconds instead of a coffee break, which is the difference between a full ze_ round and an empty server.

Counter-Strike: Source Hosting Questions

Everything you need to know about Vastrox hosting, VPS, and cloud infrastructure. Can't find your answer? Our team is here to help.

Popular:

Yes, with one step. Since the 2010 Orange Box engine update the stock server ignores the -tickrate launch option and runs locked at 66 tick, but the community Tickrate Enabler plugin switches the engine's hidden tickrate option back on, and 100 tick surf and bhop servers have run on it ever since. Higher tick shrinks the time budget per server frame, which is why movement servers care about CPU clock more than any other spec.

Three things: the Zombie:Reloaded plugin on SourceMod, a rotation of ze_ maps, and slots, since escape maps are designed around 40 to 64 players. ZE maps are also among the largest in Source, so a FastDL setup is effectively mandatory for join times.

Point sv_downloadurl at a FastDL web host and upload bzip2-compressed copies of your maps, sounds and models. Without it, clients pull big ze_ and surf maps through the slow in-game default, and many give up before they ever spawn.

Instantly. Your Counter-Strike: Source server is provisioned automatically the moment payment clears, usually online in under 60 seconds with full console access.

Always-on, enterprise-grade DDoS protection is included on every game server at no extra cost, so your players stay connected under attack.

Yes, a full game panel with a live console, one-click restart, scheduled tasks, automatic backups and FTP access comes with every plan.

Anytime. Scale up or down from your dashboard and only pay the prorated difference, with no downtime and no fresh setup.
