Preorder your 24/7 Black Mesa server: unlimited slots, DDoS protection, locations worldwide and automatic setup at launch.
American ExpressAbout the game
Black Mesa is the community-built remake of the original Half-Life, rebuilt from the ground up in the Source engine: Gordon Freeman, the resonance cascade and the journey to Xen, with new levels, physics and music. Beyond the campaign, its multiplayer delivers fast Source-style deathmatch, and community mods such as SourceCoop turn the story into a co-op run for your whole squad. A Black Mesa server is your own always-online home for those matches.
On your own server, you make the calls: pick the deathmatch maps, set a password for private match nights, add custom maps and co-op mods through file access, and keep the lobby running 24/7 even when nobody is online. Slots are unlimited, so the whole crew fits. You choose a location close to your players from our locations worldwide and manage everything in the ZapX panel.

FAQ
Answers to the most important questions before you start.
The preorder is for your ZAP-Hosting server, not for the game itself. You choose your package and term, pay upfront and secure your Black Mesa server now. As soon as Black Mesa hosting launches, your server is set up automatically and you are notified by email and in the panel. Learn more about preorders
Your server is set up automatically at launch, so there is nothing you need to trigger. You are notified by email and in the panel, and the connection details (IP and port) are shown right in your dashboard so your crew can join straight away.
Yes. While your order is waiting for launch, you can cancel it yourself in the order details and get a full refund. Once the server is live, it runs for the term you chose. You can cancel anytime, and the cancellation takes effect at the end of the current term. How cancellation works
Slots are unlimited on every package, so you never pay per player. You choose RAM and CPU instead. How many players run smoothly depends on that performance and on your maps and mods, so larger deathmatch lobbies and co-op groups need a stronger package.
Black Mesa's built-in multiplayer focuses on deathmatch. Co-op through the campaign runs on community mods such as SourceCoop. With file access to your server, you can add the mod files yourself. Your server stays online 24/7, so the group can pick up where it left off.
A dedicated server stays online 24/7, even after the original host logs off. Nobody has to keep a gaming PC running and nobody has to set up port forwarding at home.
You can choose from our locations worldwide. Pick the one closest to your players or community. Many groups in North America start with Ashburn, Dallas or Los Angeles, and there are more locations in Europe and beyond. Availability can vary by product and location, and you see the current options when you order.
You can book your Black Mesa server for 3, 30, 90 or 180 days or for a full year. Payments are processed through Stripe and support common methods such as credit card and PayPal. You can cancel anytime, and the cancellation takes effect at the end of your current term. See all payment options
