Host a Half-Life 1 deathmatch server — the 1998 GoldSrc classic — with ReHLDS stability, AMX Mod X, and the weapons that started it all.
Transparent pricing for Half-Life 1 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.
Half-Life 1's deathmatch mode is the 1998 GoldSrc classic that spawned CS, TFC, DOD, Sven Co-op, and basically the entire Valve multiplayer ecosystem. The community still runs HL DM servers for the original crowbar-and-crossbow gameplay on maps like boot_camp and crossfire.
Our HL1 template uses ReHLDS (the community-maintained fork) for modern OS compatibility and stability. AMX Mod X with MetaMod-P is preinstalled; classic community plugins (admin, stats) install one-click.
HL1 is extremely lightweight — 256 MB RAM handles a 32-slot server. The Starter plan's 4 GB is massive overkill. What matters is network latency and DDoS protection; our 13-location network covers the remaining community.
“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.”
Small but persistent community. A few dedicated public servers still see players, especially for retro nights.
ReHLDS. It's the community fork that keeps HL1 servers running stable on modern Linux/Windows with security patches HLDS never got.
Yes. Classic AMX Mod X with MetaMod-P is preinstalled. All the old community plugins still work.
Yes. Upload .bsp, .wad, sprite packs via the panel's file manager.
256 MB is plenty. Our smallest plan is massive overkill; we price it fairly for the era.
Always-on layer 3/4 mitigation included.
