Yes, we offer Secure File Transfer Protocol (SFTP) access for secure and efficient file management of your Counter-Strike Source server. SFTP allows you to transfer files between your local computer and your game server server using an encrypted connection, ensuring that your data is protected during transmission.
In addition to SFTP access, we also provide a user-friendly web-based file browser, which allows you to easily manage your CSS files directly through our hosting platform's control panel. The file browser makes it simple to upload, download, rename, and delete files without the need for a separate FTP client.
At Game Host Bros, we allow our customers to set the maximum number of players they wish to accommodate on their server, regardless of the hosting plan they select. Unlike other hosting providers that charge based on the number of player slots you use, we focus on the resources that your server consumes.
This means that you can set any maximum number of players for your server without incurring additional costs. However, it is essential to consider the resources your server requires to maintain optimal performance, as higher player counts may demand more CPU, RAM, Disk Space and bandwidth.
Absolutely, we are committed to providing exceptional technical support to our customers, as we consider you a part of our community and value your success. The bros' and community are ready to assist you with any technical issues or questions you may have regarding server hosting and Counter-Strike Source.
You can connect with a bro on our Discord where you can ask questions, share tips, and learn from each other's experiences.

Our hosting platform is designed to provide a seamless experience for users who run multiple game servers across different games or game modes.
In addition to this, we understand the importance of delegating server management tasks to your staff members or division leaders. To accommodate this need, our hosting platform allows you to grant specific access levels and roles to other users, enabling them to manage designated game servers within your account.
With this functionality, you can:
• Create sub-users with unique login credentials for your staff members or division leaders.
• Assign specific access levels and roles to each sub-user, allowing them to manage one or multiple game servers according to their responsibilities.
• Control permissions for each sub-user, including the ability to start, stop, or restart servers, edit server configurations, manage files, or access server logs.
