To host a server in CS:GO, you can either use the in-game 'Play with Friends' feature or go the more advanced route by setting up a dedicated server. For a quick and casual setup, invite your friends to your lobby, set the lobby to 'Private Match,' and then select 'Start.' This method hosts a game on your local machine. If you're aiming for something more permanent or with more control, you'll need to download the CS:GO Dedicated Server software from the Steam tools library, configure it with your desired settings, and run it on a machine that's on 24/7.

Hosting a server in CS:GO isn't rocket science but setting up a dedicated one can be a bit of a project. Got mine running after a few hiccups, and it's awesome for custom games with friends. Remember to forward your ports if you're going dedicated, or it'll be a party no one can join.

Honestly, just play online. Hosting a server is a hassle unless you really need that custom game vibe.
