The tabs, group by group

Every server on your account has its own panel. A left rail names the server, shows how it is doing and lists its tabs, and the tab you pick fills the rest of the page. This guide walks through what sits where, so you know which tab to open for a given job.

Open the panel

Sign in, go to Servers on your dashboard and select Open on the server. The link at the top of the rail, Back to Dashboard, takes you out again. If you arrived from your billing page, it reads Back to Billing and returns you there.

What the top of the rail tells you

Name and status. The coloured dot on the game's artwork changes with the server's state, and hovering it names the state.
Address. The address players join with, with a copy button beside it. If you have claimed a free address, it shows that instead of the IP (Claim a free server address).
Share & passwords. Opens the details you hand to friends, such as the join password on games that have one. On a game with nothing to show beyond the address, the button reads Share.
Live figures. CPU, RAM, Disk and Net, plus TPS, Version and Mod loader on Minecraft. They are explained in How to read your server's resource graphs.

The tabs, group by group

The rail groups tabs into Essentials, Content and More. Satisfactory servers get a fourth group, Factory, for its three tabs. On a phone the same tabs sit in one dropdown that shows the tab you are on.

Essentials

Tab	Use it to
Console	Start, restart and stop the server, read the live log, send commands and watch the graphs. The first tab you land on (How to use your server console).
File Manager	Browse, edit, upload and download files (How to manage your server files).
Disk Analyser	See which folders use your disk (Server out of disk space? Free it up).
Backups	Create and restore backups (How to create and restore backups).
Players	Who is online, with kick and ban actions. It appears on the games that support it, such as Minecraft, Project Zomboid, Valheim and Terraria.

Content

Tabs here depend on your game. A Minecraft server has Plugins or Mods (the label follows your server software, and a vanilla server has neither), Modpacks, Datapacks, World Import, Config Editor and Crossplay. Other games add their own, such as Server Settings, Worlds or Workshop. Open the one you want and the top bar offers a guide link for it.

More is collapsed on your first visit; select its heading to open it. Opening a tab inside it opens the group for you.

Tab	Use it to
Startup	Change a game's launch settings, such as the server name or the player limit (Change max players on your server). Minecraft does not show this tab; use the JAR Manager and Config Editor instead.
JAR Manager	Minecraft only: pick the server software and version.
Schedules	Run restarts and other tasks on a timer (How to schedule automatic restarts).
Team	Invite other people (How to give friends access to your server). Owner only.
Notes	A private notepad (Use the Notes tab on your server). Owner only.
Settings	The server name, free address, extra ports, SFTP login and reinstall.
Audit Logs	Who did what on the server, and when.

Tip

If a tab you expect is missing, you may be signed in as a team member. Each person sees only the tabs the owner's permissions allow, and Team and Notes never show for team members.
