What is a Left 4 Dead dedicated server?
A Left 4 Dead dedicated server hosts the original co-op campaigns without making one survivor act as the listen-server host.
Crafty installs Valve's official anonymous Steam dedicated-server app and starts on the No Mercy campaign with automatic updates.

Frequently asked questions
Which plan runs Left 4 Dead?
Left 4 Dead can start free. Choose paid hosting for an always-ready campaign server.
What do players need to join?
Left 4 Dead on Steam and the hostname and port displayed on 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 Left 4 Dead server files?
Yes. Edit Source configuration and map-cycle files or upload community maps. Paid sizes include writable files, SFTP, schedules and automatic backup retention.
