Classic CS 1.6 servers with stable 1000 FPS performance and Anti-DDoS protection.

On Counter-Strike 1.6 the server's frame rate decides how often it processes the game: player movement, shots and hit registration. A server running at 1000 FPS handles every moment more precisely than one stuck at 100 to 300, and players feel it as smoother movement and hits that land where they aimed.

Every HytHost CS 1.6 server starts on the ReHLDS engine with sys_ticrate 1000 and pingboost 2, and runs on high-clock Ryzen 7 and Intel i9 CPUs, so there is headroom to keep that pace when the server fills up.

New servers are installed with the modern community stack instead of stock HLDS:

• ReHLDS, a reworked engine with bug fixes, better performance and protection against common exploits.
• ReGameDLL_CS, the reworked game library with extra settings and fixes.
• Metamod-R and AMX Mod X, so your .amxx plugins load straight away.
• ReAPI for the plugins that need it, and Reunion.

Everything lives in normal folders on your server, so you can update or replace any part over sFTP or the panel's file manager.

Slots are the number of players online at the same time. Private mixes and 5v5 matches fit in 10 to 12 slots. Small public and clan servers usually run 16 to 20, and busy publics with mods such as deathrun, zombie or jailbreak 24 to 32.

Pick the exact number with the slider, anywhere from 6 to 32. More slots also bring more CPU, storage and databases. You can upgrade from your client area whenever the server fills up, paying only the prorated difference.

Custom maps, models and sounds are part of what makes a 1.6 server yours, but downloading them through the game is slow enough that players give up and leave. FastDL serves those files over HTTP instead, many times faster.

Every server comes with FastDL already set up: sv_downloadurl points at our FastDL server for your server's own files, so what you upload to your cstrike folder is available to players with no extra setup. If you run your own download server, you can change the URL in the Startup tab.

Already running a server somewhere else? Open a ticket and we will move it for you at no extra cost: server.cfg, your addons folder with AMX Mod X plugins and configs, custom maps and models, and MySQL databases for bans, ranks or VIP systems.

Your server gets a new address with the move. Let your players know, or point your domain at the new address and nothing changes on their side.

Counter-Strike 1.6 is the classic that still fills servers across Romania, Moldova and Eastern Europe. It runs on almost any PC, has two decades of AMX Mod X plugins and mods, from classic publics to zombie, deathrun and jailbreak, and costs a fraction per slot.

Counter-Strike 2 is Valve's current game, built on Source 2 with sub-tick networking and Steam Workshop maps. If your community plays CS2, see our Counter-Strike 2 hosting.
