Welcome to HLDS 101

HLDS 101 is a website that will explain you in details how to setup your own Steam dedicated server.
Please also note that some instructions on this site are out of date. I'm creating a new version of the website to rectify the changes. The new version will be launched simultaneously with the website about SRCDS. I am asking for patience until both of these arrive because I have been very occupied lately.

Visit the forums

Please always remember to visit the HLDS 101 forums by clicking here. The forums contain useful ressources to help you setup your server and to help if any problems arise and have moderators and other members willing to help. In fact, it's the most active and ever-changing part of this website!

 

In addition to this, this website will also contain specific tips and information about the most popular Half-Life games (mods): Counter-Strike (CS), Day of Defeat (DoD), Team Fortress Classic (TFC), Deathmatch Classic (DMC), Opposing Forces, Ricochet and Half-Life (HL). You'll even be able to find information on how to setup online stats for your server and even Metamod plugins!
