Game Server Panel Guide

Quickly learn what every option in the SpookNode panel does — from monitoring your console to managing backups, databases, and plugins.

🖥 Console

View your server’s live status and interact directly with it:

  • Real-time console output
  • CPU, RAM, and Disk usage graphs
  • Power controls (start, stop, restart)

Settings

Change important configuration options:

  • Access SFTP details for FileZilla or other clients
  • Edit your server name/description
  • Reinstall to restore default files
⚠ Reinstalling will erase your files. Always back up first!

📜 Activity

A history log showing past server actions such as restarts, file edits, and backups.

📂 Files

A complete file manager in your browser:

  • Create, edit, upload, or delete files
  • Drag & drop support
  • Quick search through files

🗄 Databases

Create and manage MySQL databases — commonly used by plugins or mods that require persistent storage.

💾 Backups

Keep your data safe with built-in backup tools:

  • Create server backups on demand
  • Download backups to your PC
  • Restore to a previous snapshot
💡 Best practice: make backups before installing new plugins or major changes.

🌐 Network

View allocated ports and use the DNS record generator to link your server with a custom domain.

🔗 Subdomains

Some servers include a free subdomain — pick from available domains and link it directly to your server.

Schedules

Automate management tasks with scheduled commands or power actions (like automatic restarts).

🚀 Startup

Edit variables used at startup. Examples:

  • Minecraft server jar selection
  • Bot token for Discord bots
  • Other game-specific environment variables

Extra Features

Some servers include additional advanced tools:

  • Plugin Manager for Minecraft
  • Version Changer for switching software builds
  • Player Manager for certain Minecraft setups
🔧 Extra features only appear on supported games. We enable them wherever possible to improve your experience.
