How to make a Left 4 Dead 2 server

A Left 4 Dead 2 server on FadeHost takes a few minutes — then it is campaign co-op with your rules instead of lobby roulette.

  1. 1

    Create your server

    Start the free 7-day trial (no credit card) or pick a plan — 1 GB covers campaign co-op; 2 GB for 8-player versus with SourceMod. Then hit Create Server in the panel, choose Left 4 Dead 2 and your region, and the server installs itself. Your server's address and port appear on the server page as soon as it's up.

  2. 2

    Pick your campaign and slots

    Set the start map (c1m1_hotel — Dead Center — by default), max players, server name and an optional join password from the Settings tab. Custom campaign VPKs go in via the file manager; custom.cfg survives restarts.

  3. 3

    Join the server

    Open the in-game console (~) and use connect with the address and port from your server page — or set sv_search_key on the server and matchmake straight into it with your lobby.
