Set up by us

Same Source engine question as TF2, so we build it by hand and check the tick rate before handover.

Order it like any other server. One of us sets it up, checks it, and hands over the same console, files and backups every server gets.

What it is

The solid bar is the smallest plan that runs Counter-Strike: Source. Faded bars run it with room to spare. Greyed plans sit outside its range. Player counts are what the plan carries, not a benchmark of this game.

How busy it is

Counter-Strike: Source against the other shooter games.

Peak concurrent players on Steam, measured rather than estimated. Bars are to scale against each other, so a game almost nobody plays looks like one.

What players say

Counter-Strike: Source, in the words of people who play it.

Three reviews from Steam, picked by how many other players found them helpful. About the game, not about us, unedited, and linked so you can check.

Had a lot of fun with this game back in the day. Probably the best version of Counter-Strike.
