Why Choose Ray Hosting for your Half-Life: Deathmatch Server?
AMD Ryzen 9 hardware, worldwide low-latency network, and robust DDoS protection – we handle the backend, you focus on gameplay.
Setting up a dedicated server is instant with Ray Hosting. Choose a plan, and our automated container orchestration deploys your server in 10-30 seconds across our 15+ redundant global datacenters.
While GoldSrc games require very little RAM, Ray Hosting provisions your server with enterprise ECC DDR5 memory, ensuring extreme stability and reliability even if you stack the server with hundreds of custom plugins and maps.
Yes! Ray Hosting provides unrestricted SFTP root access and a web-based file explorer, making it incredibly easy to upload massive custom map pools and mods directly to our high-speed NVMe arrays.
Absolutely. All Ray Hosting plans include our enterprise multi-Tbps DDoS Shield with customizable DDoS Armour Profiles (such as Balanced or Ironclad), keeping your nostalgic deathmatches online even during targeted layer 7 attacks.
You don't need to manually struggle with SteamCMD. Ray Hosting's platform instantly provisions your HLDM server in seconds, completely bypassing manual command-line setups and tedious installations.
The requirements are extremely low for GoldSrc, but Ray Hosting guarantees maximum performance by running your server on AMD Ryzen™ 9 7900 processors. This pure raw metal compute ensures absolute perfection in tickrate and latency.
To make your server public, ensure 'LAN' is disabled in your configuration. Ray Hosting handles all port forwarding automatically and places your server on our BGP-optimised Global Edge Network, ensuring players worldwide can find and connect seamlessly.
Server settings are managed in the `server.cfg` file. Ray Hosting's zero-latency TTY interactive web console allows you to securely manage settings and monitor real-time daemon telemetry while you configure SourceMod or MetaMod.
