How to Split Your Game Server with the Server Splitter

The Server Splitter lets you carve a portion of your server's resources — CPU, memory, disk, and capacity — into a brand-new child server. Your original server is the master, and each split creates a separate server that runs on its own while sharing the master's resource pool. It's a quick way to run a second server without ordering a whole new service.

[!NOTE] First you must learn how to access our game hosting panel: https://curtcreation.net/kb/game-hosting-panel/how-to-access-your-game-server

[!CAUTION] Splitting permanently moves resources from your master server to the new child server — your master will have less CPU, memory, and disk afterward. You also have a limited number of splits (shown as Splits Remaining). Plan your amounts before you split.

Step 1: Open the Split Page and Review Your Resources

1. In your server's left sidebar, under CONFIGURATION, click Split.

2. The Server Splitter page shows your resource pools at the top — CPU Pool, Memory Pool, Disk Pool, Allocations, Databases, and Backups — each as used / total.

3. On the right, Splitter Information shows your Master Server, Splits Used, and Splits Remaining. Make sure you have at least one split remaining before continuing.

Step 2: Start a Split and Name the New Server

1. Click SPLIT SERVER in the bottom-right corner.

2. In the Split Server dialog, under IDENTITY, enter a Server Name for the new child server — for example, My Vanilla Minecraft server.

3. Optionally add a Description to help you remember what it's for.

Step 3: Assign Resources and Capacity Limits

1. Under COMPUTE RESOURCES, enter how much to give the new server. Each field shows how much is available from the master:

   • Memory (MB) — e.g., 1024.

   • CPU (%) — e.g., 100.

   • Disk (MB) — e.g., 1000.

2. Under CAPACITY LIMITS, set the Allocations, Databases, and Backups the child server can use — e.g., 1 each.

3. Optionally turn on Sync Subusers to mirror your existing subuser access to the new server.

4. When everything looks right, click SPLIT SERVER to create it. (Click CANCEL to back out without changes.)

[!NOTE] You can't assign more than the available amount shown under each field. Leave enough headroom for the master server to keep running smoothly.

Step 4: Confirm the Split

1. Back on the Server Splitter page, the header now reads 1 of 1 split used and Splitted Servers lists both your MASTER server and the new child server.

2. Notice the master's pools have gone down by the amounts you assigned, and Splits Used has increased.

Step 5: Open Your New Child Server

1. Go back to your main Servers list. Your master server now shows a MASTER · 1 SPLIT group.

2. Expand it to see both servers. Click the new child server (e.g., My Vanilla Minecraft server) to open and manage it like any other server.

[!NOTE] A new child server may start with the same application (egg) as the master. To run something different on it, see How to Change Your Server's Egg (Server Application).

That's it — you've split your server and created a new child server from your existing resources. You can manage it independently, and your remaining splits and resource pools are always visible on the Split page.
