Getting started with your game server

Your game server runs on Pterodactyl — a modern, open-source game server management platform. Once your order is processed, the server is created automatically.

What's included

  • A dedicated game server instance (e.g. Minecraft)
  • Access to the Pterodactyl panel for full server management
  • SFTP access to upload mods, plugins, and world files
  • Dedicated IP address and port

Connecting to your server

Your server's IP address and port are shown on your service page. To connect from the game:

  1. Open your game and go to Multiplayer.
  2. Click Add Server (or Direct Connect).
  3. Enter the address shown on your service page in the format IP:port (e.g. 162.55.134.253:25565).

Starting the server

A newly provisioned server may be in a stopped state. Go to the Pterodactyl panel (accessible from your service page) and click Start to launch it.
