Konnect Game Panel Guide: Start and Manage Your Server

Get started with the Konnect game panel. Learn where to start your server, find its address, edit files, create backups, and invite helpers.

Your client portal handles billing. The game panel is where you start your server and manage its files. Sign in with your game panel account, then choose your server.

Start and join your server

  1. Open Console and press Start. Wait for the game’s ready message.
  2. Read any startup error before changing settings. If you need help, send support the relevant error text.
  3. Find the assigned address in the server view or Network. Use your game’s player connection port, rather than a query or RCON port.
This existing screenshot uses a 7 Days to Die server as its example. Other games share the main panel controls, but their startup messages and files differ.

Find the right page

Console shows logs and accepts game commands. Files edits and uploads files. Backups creates file backups within your allowance. Network shows assigned addresses and ports.

Startup holds the settings exposed by your egg. Schedules runs timed tasks. Users gives helpers access. Settings includes SFTP details. The pages you see depend on your game and permissions.

The Minecraft section includes Versions, Plugins, Mods, Modpacks, Worlds, and Properties. Use the guide for your installed software. Paper plugins and Forge mods need different server setups.

Before changing worlds, mods, or versions

Back up before replacing a world, installing mods, or changing versions. Stop the server before replacing live save files. Make one change at a time, then check Console and join to test it. Use a normal Stop or Restart so the game can finish saving.

If an active service has no server in the game panel, ask support to check the account and server assignment.

Next, learn how to edit files, create and restore backups, connect through SFTP, and invite a helper. Browse game server hosting plans if you are choosing a server.

Konnect uses Pterodactyl with Arix and Arix Addons. Use your game’s guide for its file paths and Startup settings.
