Frequently Asked Questions

No. Game licenses and game binaries are not included. The Wings template provides the runtime environment (Docker, Java 21, SteamCMD). Game files are downloaded at deployment time through the Pterodactyl egg you select. You are responsible for obtaining any required game licenses.

The Panel template installs the Pterodactyl web control panel (PHP, MariaDB, Redis, Nginx) for managing your game-server network. The Wings template installs Docker and the Pterodactyl Wings daemon for running actual game-server workloads. Most setups use one Panel VPS and one or more Wings VPS instances.

For a small vanilla or Paper server, Intel Budget is sufficient. For modded Minecraft or growing communities, AMD Ryzen Mid Range is our recommended choice. For large Minecraft networks or multiple server instances, AMD EPYC High Performance provides the memory and multi-server capacity you need.

For the Panel template, yes — you run /root/setup-panel.sh after deployment to complete the configuration. The Wings template is pre-configured with Docker, Wings, Java 21 and SteamCMD, and game servers are downloaded at runtime through Pterodactyl eggs.

Yes. With the Wings template, each game server runs in its own Docker container, so you can run multiple game servers on a single VPS. AMD Ryzen and EPYC tiers with more RAM and NVMe storage are best suited for this.

Every plan includes one free automatic backup by default, and you can purchase additional backup retention tiers during checkout if you need more frequent or longer-running snapshots. Basic network-level DDoS protection is included with every plan at no extra cost. For game servers in particular, we strongly recommend always enforcing GameServer proxies or adding a dedicated third-party DDoS protection service as a second layer of defense, since game servers are frequent targets of larger application-layer attacks that basic network-level filtering alone may not fully mitigate.
