Renting a Counter-Strike 1.6 server: what you need to know

Counter-Strike 1.6 is a shooter: every millisecond counts. A server hosted in Paris gives European players a low ping, and a high-frequency CPU keeps the tick rate stable even when the match is full.

Your Counter-Strike 1.6 server installs itself after payment and is managed from a simple panel: console, files, backups, scheduled tasks and players.

Console, files, SFTP, subusers, scheduled tasks and backup tools, right in your client area.

Game-aware DDoS filtering

Filtering tuned for game protocols, always on, with no added latency during attacks.

How long until my Counter-Strike 1.6 server is ready?

A few minutes: after payment you choose the server type and the game installs automatically. It starts on its own once installation is done.

Is my Counter-Strike 1.6 server protected against DDoS attacks?

Yes. Every server sits behind Netrix Mitigation anti-DDoS (layers 3, 4 and 7), included at no extra cost and always on.

Where is my Counter-Strike 1.6 server hosted?

In Paris, France, with our hosting partner Qoriz Hosting. Latency is low for players in France and neighbouring countries (Belgium, Switzerland, Germany, the UK…); beyond that it depends mostly on your internet provider.

Is there a free trial for Counter-Strike 1.6?

Yes: the Découverte Eco plan can be tried free for 3 days, with no credit card. The trial covers this entry plan; afterwards you keep the service or not, and every plan stays contract-free.

How much RAM does a Counter-Strike 1.6 server need?

The Counter-Strike 1.6 plans run from 1 to 6 GB of RAM. For a small group, start with the Découverte plan (1 GB of RAM, 2 vCores), then move up when your community, world or mods grow: switching plans does not require a reinstall.

Can I install mods or plugins on a Counter-Strike 1.6 server?

You get full access to the Counter-Strike 1.6 server files (file manager and SFTP) from the game panel in your client area, so you can add the mods, plugins and configurations the game supports. The Mods / Plugins tab offers one-click installs for supported games.

Which ports does a Counter-Strike 1.6 server use and how do players connect?

Default ports for the game: 27015 (UDP). At Artaun, the exact address and ports of your server are shown in your client area (Join page) as soon as it is set up; there is nothing to open or forward on your side.
