How to Access Your Game Server

Learn how to reach the game panel for your Curt Creation game server from the Client Area — then get a quick tour of what every feature in the panel does.

Step 1: Open Your Game Hosting Service

Log in to your Curt Creation Client Area at client.curtcreation.net.
Under Your Active Products/Services, find your game server — for example, Apps/Game Hosting - Performance Minecraft Hosting — and click View Details.

Step 2: Open the Game Panel

The game panel is the web dashboard where you manage your game server — start and stop it, edit files, watch the live console, schedule tasks, and more.

On the product details page, stay on the Manage tab (it's selected by default) and find the Server Overview section.
Click the GO TO CONTROL PANEL button. Your game panel opens in a new browser tab.

[!NOTE]
The Server IP shown here (for example, 203.0.113.45:19133) is the address you and your players use to connect to the server. The Server ID is a unique identifier our support team may ask for.

Step 3: You're In — The Game Panel Dashboard

The panel opens on the Dashboard, your server's home screen.

Check your server's status and Uptime next to the server name at the top.
Read your live resource usage in the CPU, Memory, Disk, and Address cards, with CPU Load, Memory, and Network graphs below.
Use Quick Actions to jump to the Console, Files, Backups, or Settings — and use the round Start / Restart / Stop buttons to power your server.

[!NOTE]
Once your server is set up, you can return any time by going straight to panel.curtcreation.net (you'll need to be logged in). You can also reach it from the Client Area using the steps above.

A Quick Tour of Every Game Panel Feature

The features live in the left sidebar, grouped into Overview, Configuration, and Management. Here's what each one does.

Overview

Dashboard — Your server's home screen: live CPU, memory, disk, and network usage, current status and uptime, and quick links to the tools you use most.
Console — A live view of your server's console. Watch real-time log output and type commands into the Type a command… box (for example, op <player> or say hello on a Minecraft server).

Configuration

Schedules — Automate tasks like restarts, backups, or console commands on a timer. Click Create schedule and use the built-in Cron Cheatsheet to set when it runs.
Network — Manage the connection addresses (ports) assigned to your server. Each row shows an IP Address and Port; add a note, or click Make Primary to set the main address players use.
Startup — Control how your server launches. Edit the Startup Command, pick a Docker Image (such as the Java version), and set Server Variables like the Server Jar File and Server Version.
Settings — Manage your server's identity and access: rename the server, set an optional IP Alias, view your SFTP Access details, run Macros, change the Egg (the game or software your server runs), or use the Danger Zone to reinstall.
Split — Use the Server Splitter to divide your plan's resources (CPU, memory, disk, and allocations) into one or more additional servers.
IP Management — Apply per-allocation network filters to help protect your server. See each allocation, apply an Allowed preset, and track how many are Protected.

Management

Files — A full file manager. Browse folders, edit configuration files like server.properties, upload mods, plugins, or worlds, and switch between List, Grid, and IDE views.
Editor — Opens a web-based code editor (a browser version of VS Code) for editing your server files in more depth.
Plugins — Browse and install server plugins straight from Modrinth. Filter by Minecraft Version and Loader, then click Install — no manual uploads needed.
Mods — The same one-click installer for mods (for example, Fabric API, Sodium, or Iris Shaders). Find them under the Search tab and manage them under Installed.
Subdomains — Create a friendly connect address (like yourserver.curtcreation.net) so players don't have to remember an IP and port.
Databases — Create and manage MySQL databases for plugins or mods that need one. Each database shows its Endpoint, Username, and allowed connection hosts.
Backups — Create and restore full backups of your server. If you see "Backups Disabled," your plan's backup limit is set to 0.
Database Backups — Create and restore backups of your databases, separately from your server files.

[!CAUTION]
Some actions change or restart your server right away: the Start / Restart / Stop buttons, Settings → Danger Zone (Reinstall), and Split → Split Server. A reinstall can erase your current files, so make sure you have a backup and that it's safe to interrupt players before using them.
