🚀 FROM ORDER TO PANEL
Your Game Server Control Center, Ready in Minutes
A manual Pterodactyl installation involves an operating system, web stack, database, Redis, Docker, Wings, networking, SSL, and application configuration. ARPHost handles that initial deployment so you can begin with a working panel instead of an installation checklist.
01
Choose Your Resources
Select the CPU, RAM, NVMe storage, bandwidth, hostname, and optional management level that fit your community and the games you plan to host.
02
We Spin It Up
After payment and order verification, automated provisioning creates your VPS and installs the Pterodactyl stack. Most orders are ready in approximately 5–10 minutes.
03
Create Game Servers
Sign in to your panel, add compatible game templates, assign resources and ports, then start managing servers, users, files, schedules, and backups from your browser.
🎛️ ONE PANEL, MANY SERVERS
Run the Day-to-Day From Your Browser
Pterodactyl gives administrators and players a clean web interface for the tasks that normally require terminal access. Keep each game server organized while controlling how much CPU, memory, disk space, and network access it can use.
- Live console: Watch output and run server commands in real time.
- Power controls: Start, stop, restart, and safely manage server processes.
- File access: Edit files in the browser or connect using SFTP.
- Schedules: Automate restarts, commands, and recurring maintenance tasks.
- Backups: Create and manage backups within your available storage.
- Subusers: Give teammates or moderators only the permissions they need.
🧰 BUILT FOR GAME SERVER MANAGEMENT
The Tools Your Community Needs
Start with one server or organize several game instances from the same panel as your needs grow.
Isolated Containers
Pterodactyl uses Docker containers to separate game server processes and enforce assigned resource limits.
Game Templates
Use compatible Pterodactyl eggs to define install scripts, startup commands, ports, variables, and container images for each game.
Resource Visibility
See CPU, memory, disk, and network activity while each server is running, all from the web interface.
Team Access
Delegate console, file, database, schedule, backup, and power permissions without sharing the main administrator login.
Database Management
Create credentials for supported databases and keep connection details organized alongside each game server.
API & Automation
Use Pterodactyl’s APIs to connect your own billing, community, or operational workflows when you are ready to automate further.
🎮 HOST YOUR KIND OF GAME
One Panel for Popular Multiplayer Servers
Pterodactyl supports a broad ecosystem of official and community-maintained eggs. Common deployments include Minecraft variants, Rust, Terraria, ARK, Team Fortress 2, Garry’s Mod, Factorio, FiveM, voice servers, bots, and many other compatible applications.
