    Save and Start Your Server [#4-save-and-start-your-server]

    Save your changes and start your server to apply the new settings.

    > 💡 **Tip:** Many common settings like server name, max players, and password can be changed directly from `Startup` in the panel. See [Change Server Name](/docs/the-front/change-server-name), [Max Players](/docs/the-front/max-players), and [Set a Password](/docs/the-front/set-a-password) for details.

    > ⚠️ **Warning:** Invalid configuration values can prevent your server from starting. Always back up your configuration file before making changes using the `Backups` feature in the panel.
