Half-Life 1Server Hosting

Half-Life 1 Deathmatch is the multiplayer component of Valve's groundbreaking 1998 FPS, running on the GoldSrc engine. Players battle across maps using the game's arsenal of weapons including the iconic crowbar, Gauss gun, and crossbow. Beyond standard deathmatch, the Half-Life engine serves as the foundation for numerous standalone mods like The Specialist, Earth's Special Forces, Ricochet, and more.

Running your own Half-Life dedicated server lets you host deathmatch with custom maps, your preferred rules, and AMX Mod X plugins for admin control. It also serves as a platform for hosting Half-Life mods by switching the game folder in the server settings, giving you access to a massive library of community-created multiplayer experiences.

Game Host Bros runs Half-Life servers on AMD Ryzen 9 9950X and EPYC processors with NVMe storage across 12 global locations. AMX Mod X and Metamod-R install through our 1-click Mod Manager for immediate plugin access. Automatic FastDL compresses and serves custom maps, models, sounds, and sprites to connecting players without configuration. The Custom Game Folder setting in Server Options lets you switch between Half-Life mods like The Specialist or Ricochet by uploading the mod folder via SFTP and changing the folder name. All server files are manageable through the File Manager and SFTP.
