Just got your game server? This short tour shows where everything is — from your server's address in the client area to the console, the file manager and your SFTP details.

Quick answer

Open your game server in the client area and click Go to panel. Console starts, restarts and stops the server and takes commands; Files is the file manager; Network shows your IP and port; Startup shows how the server starts; Settings has your SFTP details and the reinstall option.

Open the panel

In the client area, open your game server. The page shows the Server ID and the server IP with its port — the address your players connect to. Click Go to panel to open the full panel.

Console

  • Start, Restart and Stop the server.
  • Watch the live server log as it starts and runs.
  • Type server commands in the box at the bottom — for example list on a Minecraft server.
  • See the address, uptime, CPU, memory and disk at a glance.

Files

The built-in file manager: open and edit configs, upload small files, create folders and new files, and create or extract archives. Right-click a file for Rename, Move, Permissions, Copy, Archive, Download and Delete. For big uploads, use SFTP with FileZilla.

Network

Shows the IP address and port of your server. The primary one is the address your players use.

Startup

Shows the start command and the game's settings, such as the version or the map. Which settings you see depends on the game.

Settings

SFTP Details gives you the server address (port 2022) and your username for FileZilla or WinSCP; the password is your game panel password. Reinstall Server puts the server back to a clean install.

Before you reinstall

Reinstalling stops the server, and some files may be deleted or modified. Download a backup of anything you want to keep first.

Other tabs

You will also see Databases, Schedules, Users and Backups. Not sure whether you need them, or what your plan includes? Open a ticket and we will help.
