Built for admins

The boring parts run themselves.

  • Valve's real depot

    Installed through SteamCMD app 222860 and re-validated on every reinstall, so your server always runs the current L4D2 build.

  • Workshop campaigns

    Community campaigns install from Steam Workshop through the file manager and are part of every backup.

  • Versus 4v4

    The vanilla 8-slot Versus cap is honored and set at boot; a private 4-player campaign is the Starter tier.

  • SourceMod support

    Plugins, mutations and custom mutators live in left4dead2/addons — backed up with everything else.

Questions

Left 4 Dead 2 hosting FAQ.

Things people ask before signing up.

How many players fit on a Left 4 Dead 2 server?
Vanilla caps: 4 players in campaign/co-op modes, 8 (4v4) in Versus and Scavenge — the same caps Valve's own matchmaking uses. Hosts selling more are selling plugins; the game's own limit is what our tiers mirror.
How much RAM does it need?
L4D2's server is a light 32-bit srcds build — 4 GB runs the classic campaign nights, 6 GB is the comfortable Versus + SourceMod plan. The engine cannot use more than about 4 GB of heap, so bigger tiers would sell memory the process cannot touch.
Can we play community campaigns?
Yes. Downloaded campaigns land in left4dead2/addons and are installed through the file manager — once there, they survive updates and come back with every restore.
Do we need a Steam Game Server Login Token?
No — direct IP join (connect your-ip:27015) always works. A free token from steamcommunity.com/dev/managegameservers additionally lists the server in the in-game browser, and you can add one later from the panel.
