About
HL1
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. Half-Life server hosting brings those classic battles back online for your community.
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 14 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.
Half-Life is available on Steam and Windows with unlimited player slots included. Compatible with numerous GoldSrc mods through the Custom Game Folder option. All servers include DDoS protection, automatic FastDL, AMX Mod X support, and a 7-day money-back guarantee.
Game Host Bros offers the best Half-Life server hosting from $7.99/mo. Whether you want a Half-Life 1 server for a few friends or a busy public deathmatch rotation, our HL1 dedicated server hosting includes instant setup, AMX Mod X, Metamod, automatic FastDL, and support for mods like The Specialist across 14 global locations.
