What it is

AleForge Team Fortress 2 Hosting provides dedicated servers for public matches, clan battles, custom game modes and community events. Its custom control panel and file manager support Team Fortress 2 mods, plugins and custom maps. AleForge lists 11 server locations, gigabit networking and a 99.9% uptime guarantee. DDoS protection is included, and the Blacksmith's Portal automatically backs up servers every 12 hours, retaining those backups for five days; manual backups are also available. Customers can change server resources through the Client Area without losing saved data or game progression. ForgeMaster, an AleForge Discord bot, can manage servers and show their status using an AleForge API key. Support is offered around the clock through tickets, Discord, live chat and a knowledgebase. The service is web-based and paid, with no free plan. Listed monthly plans include Initiate at $5.99 a month, Journeyman at $8.99 a month and Runesmith at $11.99 a month. Annual billing is listed as saving 20%.
