Got questions? 
Yes. Pick Half Life 2: Deathmatch when you order and CreeperHost sets the service up in CreeperPanel, with backups, DDoS protection, location choice, and real people around when you need help.
Nope. CreeperPanel handles everyday jobs such as installs, starts, restarts, files, settings, and backups. You can go deeper when you want to, but you do not need to learn Linux before your friends can play.
Premium is the range we normally recommend for busier, modded, or long-running servers. Eco is the budget option for lighter servers, while Pro gives larger communities dedicated hardware. You can move up later if the server grows.
Yes. CreeperPanel can add or switch between supported games on the same service, so changing your mind does not automatically mean another order and another panel to learn.
