All game servers share these management features:

  • Console Access: Start, stop, restart, and send commands
  • File Manager: Upload, download, and edit server files
  • Settings Panel: Configure server parameters
  • Resource Monitoring: View CPU, RAM, and disk usage

Server Lifecycle

Active State

Server runs normally and consumes coins daily based on the game type.

Cancellation

Click "Cancel" to suspend the server and stop coin consumption.

Automatic Deletion

Cancelled servers are automatically deleted after a few days.

Reinstalling Servers

To reinstall any game server:
