Guide to Using the Control Panel
Get familiar with start/stop, the console, file manager, and backups in the Arqonara panel.
The control panel is your server's command center. Every important button lives in one place.
Logging in
Open clients.arqonara.com, sign in with the account you used at checkout, then select your server. Access details are also emailed after ordering.
Main buttons
- Start — powers the server on.
- Restart — stops then starts again. Use it after editing configs or installing plugins.
- Stop — shuts the server down safely. Always use this instead of just closing the tab.
Console
The console streams live logs and accepts commands directly. Example: type say Hello everyone to broadcast a message to all players.
If the server ignores commands, check the console first — errors there usually point to the cause.
File manager
Upload, download, edit, and delete server files from your browser. Handy for swapping server.properties, server.jar, or plugin configs.
Backups
Take a snapshot before big changes. See the Managing Backups article for how to restore.
