Getting started with the Game Panel
How to access the panel, identify your server, and bring it online safely.
The Game Panel is where you manage your Minecraft hosting. It lets you monitor resource usage, control server power, upload files, and create backups.
How to access it
- Sign in to the Client Area.
- Open Services and select your active Minecraft hosting service.
- Click the button that opens the Game Panel.
- On your first visit, finish setting your password through the invitation sent to your account email.
Never share your password. To give someone else access, create an additional user with only the permissions they need.
Understanding the server screen
Before changing any setting, review these details:
- Address: the IP or hostname and port used to join the server.
- Status: shows whether the server is online, starting, stopping, or offline.
- Resources: current RAM, CPU, disk, and network usage.
- Console: real-time logs and the field used to run commands.
Menu labels may vary slightly depending on language or visual updates, but their functions remain equivalent.
Bringing the server online
- Confirm that the server files have been installed.
- Click Start and watch the console.
- Wait for the startup-complete message before connecting.
- Add the address shown in the panel to your Minecraft server list.
If the server stops while starting, read the final console lines. Version, mod, plugin, and configuration errors usually appear there.
Recommended setup order
- Start the unmodified server and confirm that it stays online.
- Stop it before editing important files.
- Configure properties, operators, and the access list.
- Install plugins, mods, or modpacks compatible with the selected version.
- Create a backup before sharing the address with players.
