I have two Left 4 Dead servers. One runs 24/7 and one is a test server that runs on demand. The test server contains all the content of the main one plus various custom content for testing/playing.

My semi-private Left 4 Dead servers are mainly used for Steam Achievement play. Attaining the various achievements can be a lot of fun and encourgaes a variety of ways to play the game. Besides this it can be used for just playing; Campaign, Survival or Versus mode.
