Setting up a CS:GO server is a bit technical but totally doable! First, you need a dedicated server. You can rent one from a hosting company or use your own PC if it's beefy enough. Download the SteamCMD from Valve's site and use it to install the CS:GO server files. You'll then configure your server by editing the server.cfg file to set game modes, maps, etc. Don't forget to forward the appropriate ports on your router to allow people to connect to your server!

Just use a hosting service lol. Way easier & they handle everything for you. No need to mess with files or risk turning your PC into a toaster.

Been hosting CS:GO servers for years. The trick is in the details. Make sure you keep your server updated and secure. Always monitor for patches from Valve and apply them ASAP. Good server config makes all the difference for player experience!
