Left 4 Dead 2 hosting questions, answered
Why use a dedicated L4D2 server?
So your campaigns run with low, stable ping and no host migration — and you can install SourceMod to lift the 4-player co-op cap.
How do I get more than 4 players?
Vanilla co-op caps at 4 survivors. Install SourceMod plus a plugin (or a mutation) and raise sv_maxplayers to run 5–8+ player campaigns — the standard community setup.
What port does it use?
UDP 27015 by default, within the Source 27015–27050 range — and on our managed hosting it's opened for you.
Can I run add-on campaigns?
Yes — install Workshop add-on maps and SourceMod plugins from the panel, with FastDL for quick client downloads.
Is it DDoS protected?
Always — every server is filtered through our multi-Tbps Frankfurt network.
How fast is setup?
Automatic — your server is ready within minutes of checkout.
