Prerequisites

The game panel provides all the features necessary for server operations. Login is very straightforward; please review the following guide in order.

Login information is included in the automated email sent from our system upon order completion. You can also confirm it in the client portal by following these steps:

  1. Log in to the client portal and click “Services” in the top menu
  2. Click on your contracted server and click “Login Details”

Login information will be displayed as shown in the image below.

Upon login, the dashboard will be displayed as shown in the image below. If you have multiple servers under contract, they will all be displayed here for easy management.

Viewing Detailed Information

Our game panel supports Japanese language display. For information on how to change the language, please see how to set up Japanese language here →.

Console Screen

The console screen allows you to check the status of your game server. The interface is designed to be intuitive; however, when resources reach their limit, the resource icon will turn red.

If the red display persists, your server may become unstable or shut down suddenly during gameplay, greatly increasing the likelihood of problems. We recommend upgrading as soon as possible.

File Browser

The file browser allows you to perform the following operations on files within your game server:

  • Rename files
  • Download files
  • Upload files
  • Delete files
  • Change file permissions
  • Move files
  • Archive files
File upload and download operations are available for single files only. For uploading deeply nested folders like MOD files in bulk, using the FTP connection described later is more efficient.

Schedule

The schedule feature allows you to set up recurring tasks, such as restarting the server every day at 4:00 AM. For specific configuration examples, please see the wiki on our service page →.

Permission Group Management

This feature is useful if you want to manage your game server together with a friend. Enter the email address of the person you want to add, check the operations you want to allow, and click the “Invite” button. Our game panel will automatically send an invitation email.

Backup

You can create backups of up to 3 generations. Give the backup file a name and click the “Start Backup” button.

Before making changes to your game server, such as adding new MODs, it’s reassuring to create a backup of the current working state.

Network

You can view the IP address and port number assigned to your game server. The port marked as “Primary” is the game port.

If you need to check the query port for Steam titles, please see the wiki on our service page →.

Startup

You can configure and view startup arguments (variables) when the server starts. Configuration details differ by game title; please see setup instructions by title here →.

Activity

You can view logs of various operations performed on your game server.

Settings

You can view game server configuration information and perform reinstallation.

Reinstallation will initialize data on your server. Before proceeding, please create a backup or download important files.

FTP Connection to Game Server

FTP connection is convenient for uploading MOD files and other content to your game server. Communication uses the SFTP method, which is encrypted, so you can use it securely.

Download FTP Client

There are no specific restrictions on which FTP client software you use, but we recommend FileZilla.

Download FileZilla here →

After downloading, proceed with the installation.

Enter Connection Information

First, confirm the connection information in the “Settings” section of your game panel. Enter each item with reference to the image below.

  • Host name: Copy and paste from the game panel
  • Username: Copy and paste from the game panel
  • Password: The password you use to log in to the game panel

After entering all information, click “Quickconnect”.
