Unlimited slots, SourceMod & Metamod, custom maps and DDoS protection — online in 60 seconds at locations worldwide.
American ExpressAbout the game
Day of Defeat: Source is Valve's Source-engine WWII shooter: Allied and Axis squads fight over flags and objectives on maps like Avalanche, Anzio and Donner, with classes from rifleman to machine gunner. Rounds are fast, objective-driven and reward teamwork, which is why clans and veterans still gather around their own servers. A DoD:S server is your own dedicated instance of the game, where you decide the maps, rules, plugins and who gets to play.
With your own server, your clan or community gets a clean, properly configured home instead of hunting through public lists for a decent round. Add SourceMod admins and plugins, upload custom maps, build your map rotation, fill quiet evenings with bots and lock the server with a password for scrims, all through the panel, file access and RCON, with unlimited player slots.

FAQ
Answers to the most important questions before you start.
Choose a package in the shop, pick RAM, CPU, location and term, then complete checkout. The server installs automatically and is online within 60 seconds. You'll find the IP and port in the panel, ready to connect from the game. How to connect to your server
Player slots are unlimited on every package. You never pay per player; prices depend on package, term and location. How many players run smoothly depends on the RAM and CPU you choose and on how many plugins and custom maps you run. Busy public servers with many plugins need RAM and CPU headroom.
Yes. Install Metamod:Source and SourceMod, then add plugins for admin tools, map votes, stats or bots. Configure them via file access and reload them from the console without reinstalling the server. Plugin guide in the Help Center
Yes. Upload custom .bsp maps into the maps folder, list them in your mapcycle and switch levels from the console. Bots such as RCBot2 run via Metamod and keep the server lively when only a few players are online.
You can choose from locations worldwide. Pick the one closest to your community so most of your players get low latency. Many North American clans start with Ashburn, Dallas or Los Angeles, and every other location is open to you as well.
You can book your DoD:S server for 3, 30, 90, 180 or 365 days. Cancel anytime: the cancellation takes effect at the end of the current term, so your server keeps running until then.
Yes. If your community grows or you add more plugins, you can increase RAM or CPU at any time. Your files, maps and configs stay in place. As a guideline: at least 1 GB, 2 GB recommended. Learn more in the Help Center
Yes. Upload your server.cfg, mapcycle, custom maps and your SourceMod and Metamod folders via file access. Your admins, plugins and map rotation carry over, and your community can connect again right away.
