What is a Counter-Strike: Source dedicated server?
A Counter-Strike: Source dedicated server hosts classic bomb-defusal, hostage and team matches without relying on a player's local Source session.
Crafty installs Valve's official anonymous Steam dedicated-server app and starts on de_dust2. A Steam login token is optional for public listing.
Why host Counter-Strike: Source with Crafty Servers?

Frequently asked questions
Which plan runs Counter-Strike: Source?
Start a small server free or choose a paid size for always-on competitive hosting.
What do players need to join?
Counter-Strike: Source on Steam and the hostname and port from the dashboard.
How do players connect?
Use the stable hostname and game port shown on the Crafty dashboard. Standalone games use an explicit port rather than a Minecraft SRV address.
Can I manage my Counter-Strike: Source server files?
Yes. Upload maps or plugins and edit Source server and map-cycle configuration. Paid sizes include writable files, SFTP, schedules and automatic backup retention.
