Me and my friends want to start playing Counter Strike 1.6 online, but I'd like to know something before we all go and buy the game in the Steam Store.
Is it possible to effortlessly host a private room in Counter Strike 1.6, through Steam? Or do you have to actually host a server of your own and if so, how is this done?

If I understood correctly you want to play CS1.6 on Steam, but you do not have the game, right?
If so, and if you have a no-steam version of CS1.6, you can use some program that emulates LAN over the internet(
Hamachiis one of them). All of you install it, connect to each other and then you can enjoy the game with only your friends.
