Host a Half-Life 2: Deathmatch server with full SourceMod support, physics-object carnage, and the Source-engine gameplay HL2 pioneered.
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.
Half-Life 2: Deathmatch is Valve's 2004 free multiplayer spin-off of Half-Life 2. Physics-object combat, crossbow headshots, gravity gun projectiles — the Source-engine deathmatch that predated CS:S's dominance.
Our HL2:DM template uses the legacy Source server binary with SourceMod and MetaMod preinstalled. Community admin plugins are one-click. Custom maps upload via panel file manager.
HL2:DM is light on hardware — 2 GB RAM handles a 32-slot server. Our 13-location network covers the remaining community in EU and NA.
