Add a game server you set up yourself | Server Hosting

Not every server comes from the one-click installer. Maybe you have a QBCore pack, an ARK or Rust server, or something you built yourself. Your own servers lets you manage those from the panel too.

Add it

Open Game installs and scroll to Your own servers.
Click Add your own server and fill in:
- Name: anything you like, such as My QBCore server.
- Folder on the server: the full path of the folder the server lives in, for example C:\Users\Administrator\Desktop\My Server.
- File that starts it: the .bat, .cmd or .exe you double-click to start it, for example run.bat. You can paste the full path and the panel trims it for you.
- Extra options (optional): anything that normally goes after the start file.
- Ports players use (optional): up to 5. Tick the box to open them in Windows Firewall.
Click Add server.

It now appears with Start, Restart and Stop buttons, plus the crash restart and start-with-Windows options. They work the same as for the one-click games (see Start, stop and restart your game server).

Your own servers appear in their own list, with the same controls.

💡

Tip: If the panel can't tell your server is running, open Advanced in the form and enter the program's name, for example java.exe. This is only needed if the server's program runs from somewhere other than its folder.

Which folders can I use?

Any folder with your own files, including the Desktop. For safety, the panel won't use Windows or Program Files folders, a whole user folder (like C:\Users\Administrator itself), or AppData.

Removing it

Click Remove on its row. This only takes away what the panel added: its start task, its firewall rules and a small start file. Your server's own files are never moved, changed or deleted.

Good to know

You can add up to 5 of your own servers.
Check connection and Server log work for these too. The log viewer picks the newest log file in the server's folder.
