Should I host my Counter Strike server on a VPS?

A VPS (Virtual Private Server) gives you more control and flexibility than basic shared hosting. It’s a strong choice for Counter-Strike communities that want stable performance, custom setups, and room to grow.

More control

Install plugins, manage configs, run extra tools, and customize your server environment without shared-host limits.

Stable resources

VPS resources are isolated. That means fewer “noisy neighbor” issues and more predictable performance for your server.

Security & flexibility

Add firewall rules, change ports, run multiple instances, and combine DDoS protection with the control of your own server.

Remote DDoS protection for Counter-Strike servers

Already running a Counter-Strike server elsewhere? Remote DDoS protection lets you protect your existing CS server IP without moving hosting providers.

Protect any CS server

Route traffic through our mitigation network and shield your Counter-Strike server from DDoS attacks without changing your game setup.

Low latency filtering

Traffic is filtered before it reaches your server, keeping latency low while blocking malicious packets.

No reinstallation required

Keep your existing mods, configs, and community - simply point your server through the protected endpoint.

What do players experience during a DDoS attack?

When a Counter-Strike server is hit by a DDoS attack, the effects are often felt immediately by players. Even short attacks can disrupt gameplay and drive players away.

Severe lag and packet loss

Players may see sudden lag spikes, delayed actions, rubber-banding, or frozen movement as malicious traffic overwhelms the server.

Disconnects and timeouts

Connections may drop entirely, forcing players to reconnect repeatedly or preventing new players from joining at all.

Server becomes unreachable

In stronger attacks, the server may stop responding completely until the traffic subsides or mitigation is enabled.

Many communities evolve over time. If you need to change versions or move to a different hosting plan, support can help guide the transition.
