About the server

What is a CS:S server?

Counter-Strike: Source is Valve's Source-engine take on the classic tactical shooter: terrorists plant the bomb, counter-terrorists defuse it, on maps like de_dust2 and cs_office. Community servers keep it alive with surf, zombie escape, gun game and jailbreak. A Counter-Strike: Source server from ZAP-Hosting is your own rented, DDoS-protected CS:S server with unlimited player slots and SourceMod and Metamod plugin support, online in about 60 seconds.

Your server, your rules: tune server.cfg, build your own map cycle, upload custom maps through full file access and add SourceMod admin menus, rock the vote or your favorite fun plugins. Invite friends for a private scrim or run a public 24/7 surf or zombie escape server for a whole community, hosted at the location closest to your players.
