Host a Counter-Strike 1.6 server — the 2000 classic — with full AMX Mod X plugin support, custom maps, and latency-tuned network paths for the purists.
Transparent pricing for Counter-Strike 1.6 server hosting. All plans include NVMe storage, DDoS protection, and our modern panel.
Our modified Pterodactyl panel gives you everything you need to manage a dedicated game server from any device.
Every server you run, on one screen. Live CPU, RAM, network, and player counts update in real time — no refresh, no terminal, no hunting through tabs. Start, stop, or restart any instance with a single click.
13 data centers across 5 continents. Pick the location closest to your players at checkout — switch anytime.
Counter-Strike 1.6 is the 2000 classic — the community that still runs public servers 25 years after release. Bots, knife rounds, zombie plague mods, gungame, surf, and jailbreak all originated here. Our CS 1.6 template uses ReHLDS (the community-maintained HLDS fork) for stability and modern OS compatibility.
AMX Mod X with MetaMod-P is preinstalled. Classic community plugins — admin systems, zombie plague, gungame mod, SteamIDFinder — are all one-click installs. Custom map packs, WAD files, and sprite packs upload via the panel's file manager.
CS 1.6 servers are extremely light — 512 MB RAM handles a full 32-slot server. What actually matters is network latency and DDoS protection. Our 13-location network minimizes ping for your player base, and DDoS mitigation is always-on.
“Setup was instant. I was uploading my world within two minutes of checkout.”
“Latency from the EU node is under 30ms for my whole squad. Zero rubber-banding even on intense sessions.”
“Support actually knows the games. Had a config issue resolved in 20 minutes at 2am.”
“Backups saved a 200-hour save after a mod broke it. One-click restore, worth the plan by itself.”
“Panel is miles better than what I was on before. I don't even miss SFTP.”
“Switching between games without paying again is the feature I didn't know I needed.”
For communities that specifically want the 1.6 feel — absolutely. Zombie Plague, jailbreak, and gungame CS 1.6 servers still have dedicated playerbases, especially in Eastern Europe and Latin America.
ReHLDS (Reverse-engineered HLDS). It's the community fork that keeps CS 1.6 running on modern Linux and Windows — stable, patched, and backward compatible.
AMX Mod X and MetaMod-P. Classic admin, zombie plague, gungame, and SteamID tools install from the panel in one click.
Yes. Upload .bsp, .wad, and .res files via the panel's file manager. The server's mapcycle.txt is editable in the browser.
512 MB is plenty. The Starter plan's 4 GB is gross overkill for a pure CS 1.6 server.
Yes — always on. CS 1.6 servers are frequent DDoS targets given the age and nature of the scene.
