Managing Your Game Servers

Your Console lists the servers you own and the servers shared with you. Open a server to reach its management page. The available sections and actions depend on the game and your role.

Your server workspace

  • Overview shows status, connection details, live player count, CPU and memory use, and the Banked Hour, Current Session, and Total Uptime counters.
  • Server Settings changes the region, Server tier, and Server size.
  • Game Settings changes game-specific options.
  • Mods manages community content for supported games.
  • Player Management shows players and available moderation actions for supported games.
  • Roles & Sharing controls permissions, members, and share links.
  • Automation schedules Auto-start, Auto-shutdown, and, where supported, Repeating Broadcast.
  • Activity Log records important lifecycle and configuration events.

Shared users see only the information and controls allowed by their assigned roles. Actions that affect billing always use the server owner's credits.

A server's lifecycle

  1. Create the server by choosing a region, Server tier, Server size, and game options.
  2. Wait while it is Starting. It becomes Running when startup completes.
  3. Use Stop when you are finished. Stopping preserves the server and pauses hourly billing.
  4. Start it later using its remaining Banked Hour before another hourly charge is due.
  5. Use permanent deletion only when neither the server nor its save data is needed again.
