Get started with your game server control panel

A tour of the console, files, backups and settings in your panel.

  1. Open your server in the dashboard and choose Open control panel. You sign in automatically.
  2. The Console tab shows live output and lets you type commands. Use Start, Restart and Stop above it.
  3. The Files tab lets you edit configuration files in the browser and upload or download files. Use SFTP for large uploads.
  4. The Backups tab creates and restores backups. Make one before you change mods, plugins or settings.
  5. The Startup and Settings tabs hold options for your game, such as version or map. Change one setting at a time and restart to apply it.
  6. The meters show live memory, CPU and storage. A meter near full means it is time to trim files or upgrade.

Never share your password, a bot token, a private key or card details with anyone, including Hartwell staff.
