## About Left 4 Dead 2 servers

Run your own Left 4 Dead 2 server, live in about a minute and managed from one simple panel.

Your Left 4 Dead 2 server installs itself the moment you pay and puts its settings in your control panel, so there is nothing to download, port forward or configure on your own PC. Start, stop, restart and back it up in one click, edit any file in the file manager or over SFTP, and run any command from the live console.

Plans are sized by memory. Most games run well on 8 GB. Small or older games are happy on 4 GB, and big worlds or heavy mods want 12 to 16 GB. You can upgrade or downgrade any time, and the price is prorated.

## FAQ

### How much does a Left 4 Dead 2 server cost?

Left 4 Dead 2 servers start at $1.25 for 3 days, with no subscription. Monthly plans are 2 GB at $4.99, 3 GB at $7.99 and 4 GB at $9.99. Pay monthly or prepaid, split the bill with friends, and cancel any time.

### Do players need mods to join an 8 player server?

No. Everything runs on the server. Players join with connect and the address in the console.

### Why can only 4 people join my server?

A lobby has reserved it, which caps co-op at four. Set sv_force_unreserved 1 in server.cfg and have players join by address.

### Why are players five to eight stuck spectating?

The multislots plugin is missing or failed to load. Run sm plugins list and check the error log in addons/sourcemod/logs.

### What is the highest sv_setmax I should use?

31. The command accepts 32, but the L4DToolZ author recommends 31 at most because higher values have crashed servers.

### sv_setmax is an unknown command. Why?

L4DToolZ is not loaded. Check plugin_print in the console and make sure the files sit directly in left4dead2/addons.

### Which plan do I need?

Stock co-op runs on 2 GB. Eight player co-op with plugins and a few custom campaigns is better on 3 GB, and a long plugin list with many Workshop campaigns can use 4 GB.

### Is this an official Left 4 Dead 2 server?

It is a dedicated Left 4 Dead 2 server that you rent and control. GamezServers is not affiliated with the game's developer or publisher.

### How much RAM do I need?

Start with 8 GB for most games. Choose 4 GB for small or older games, and 12 to 16 GB for big worlds, many players or heavy mods. You can change plans any time.

### How do my friends join?

Share the server address from your panel. Most games join through a direct connect or server list screen, and the Invite friends button gives you a join page to send.

### Can my friends and I split the cost?

Yes. At checkout choose "Me and my friends" and up to 10 people each pay their own share with their own card, on any plan length, from 3 days to a year. It is not a payment plan: nobody pays in parts over time, each friend simply pays their own share. You pay yours, send each friend their link, and the server starts straight away. Each share includes a $1 payment fee.

### Can I build a custom plan?

Yes. Every game has a Build your own page: pick any amount of RAM up to 32 GB, any length from 3 days to 1 year, prepaid or a subscription, plus your server type and settings. A custom size costs 15% more per GB than the standard plans next to it.

### Can I pay once instead of a subscription?

Yes. Pick Prepaid and pay once for 3 days, 30 days, 6 months or a year. Nothing renews: when the time is up the server pauses and keeps its world for 14 days. Add time or switch to a subscription from your panel any time. Short rentals cost more per day, since every server is set up from scratch.

### How fast is setup, really?

Your server starts building the moment Stripe confirms payment. Most are online in under a minute, and the address and login appear on your dashboard automatically.
