Your own Action: Source server, hosted in Australia

A Action: Source dedicated server gives your group a server that is always online, with settings, admins and passwords you control, instead of relying on one player to host from their own computer. ASPEC Hosting is Australian owned, so your Action: Source server sits in Australia near your players and is billed in Australian dollars.

Shooter servers are about consistent matches: a fixed map rotation, your own game modes, admin tools and rules set by your community. Most run from a server.cfg or similar config with a map list and RCON for remote administration. Classic and community shooters are light on memory, so even the smallest plan carries a full server.

Start building

Your maps and modes

Set the map rotation, game modes, round times and friendly fire in the server's config instead of matchmaking defaults.

Community admin

Add admins, ban lists and RCON so moderators can manage the server without needing access to the control panel.

Light on resources

Most shooter servers need little memory, which keeps your plan small and your monthly cost low.

Action: Source server hosting FAQ

How much does Action: Source server hosting cost in Australia?

Plans start at $12.00 AUD a month. For Action: Source we usually suggest starting on Standard ($20.00 a month on Dedicated, or $12.00 on Budget Hosting). Longer billing cycles carry a discount, and we confirm the plan with you before anything is charged.

How much RAM does a Action: Source server need?

It depends on your player count, map size and mods. Standard (2 GB RAM, 30 GB storage) is a sensible start for most Action: Source groups. Tell us how many players and which mods you expect when you build your server, and we will recommend a plan before invoicing.

How do I get a Action: Source server?

Build your server: pick Dedicated or Budget Hosting, a location, Action: Source and a plan, then create your account. Action: Source is set up by our team rather than installed instantly, so your build arrives as a setup request. We confirm the details and send an invoice, and nothing is charged before that.

Where are your Action: Source servers hosted?

In Australia. Our locations are Sydney and Melbourne. Each location's current availability is shown on the locations page.

What is the difference between Dedicated and Budget Hosting for Action: Source?

Both come with the same memory and storage. Dedicated gives your Action: Source server its own CPU allocation for steady performance. Budget Hosting runs on shared CPU cores for 40% less, which suits smaller groups; performance can vary when neighbouring servers are busy.

Can I switch my Action: Source server to a different game later?

Yes. You buy game server capacity, not a single game. Ask us to install another game and keep the same plan, location and billing.

Can I run custom maps and plugins on my Action: Source server?

Where Action: Source supports them, yes. Upload maps and plugins through the control panel's file manager, or tell us what you plan to run and we set the server up with it.

Can I set an RCON or admin password for Action: Source?

If Action: Source supports RCON or in-game admin, you set the password in the server's config. Keep it different from the join password.
