Server Management
How to start, stop, restart, and manage your game server.
Power Controls
At the top of your server page you'll find the power buttons:
| Action | Description |
|---|---|
| Start | Boots your server |
| Stop | Gracefully shuts down the server |
| Restart | Stops then starts the server |
| Kill | Force stops the server (use if unresponsive) |
Console
The Console tab shows live server output. Type commands into the input field at the bottom to execute them on your server.
Startup Parameters
Under Startup, you can configure launch options for your server:
- Server name
- Max players
- Game-specific settings (map, difficulty, etc.)
Changes to startup parameters require a server restart to take effect.
Reinstalling Your Server
If you need a fresh start:
- Go to Settings
- Click Reinstall Server
- Confirm the action
This will reset your server files to default. Make a backup first — reinstalling deletes all server data.
Resource Usage
Monitor your server's CPU, RAM, and disk usage from the dashboard. If you're consistently hitting resource limits, consider upgrading your plan.
