Getting started with the Game Server Control Panel

Your game server is managed in the Game Server Control Panel. Your Cyber Edge Hosting client area handles orders, invoices and support; the game panel handles the running server and its files.

Open your server

1. Sign in to the game panel using the account details from your service welcome email. If you cannot sign in, use the panel's password-reset link.
2. Select your server from the dashboard. Open Overview or Console.
3. Copy the IP and Port displayed on that server. Use these assigned details when joining; another server or a guide's example port may be different.
4. Choose Start if the server is stopped. Watch Console until the game finishes loading. A running process can still be loading its world.
5. Follow the connection guide in your game's knowledgebase category.

Everyday controls

• Stop allows the game to shut down normally. Warn players before stopping or restarting.
• Restart restarts the game and applies settings that require a restart.
• Files contains your server files. Startup contains settings exposed by your game template.
• Backups lets you create and manage the backups allowed by your plan.

Avoid Kill during normal use: it forcibly ends the process and can lose unsaved progress. Do not use Reinstall as a first response to a startup error.
