Host a Half-Life 1 deathmatch server — the 1998 GoldSrc classic — with ReHLDS stability, AMX Mod X, and the weapons that started it all.
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.
“Server performance is excellent. Our community is very happy with the uptime and stability.”
“Setup was instant and the panel makes server management so easy. Highly recommend.”
“Best hosting we've used. Support is responsive and the hardware is top-tier.”
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.
