Find your node and server ID

About this server shows the Node and the Server ID. Our support team may ask for these when you open a ticket. You can also copy the short server ID from the Overview page.

​
Reinstall your server

Reinstalling stops your server and runs the installation script again. Use it when your server is badly broken, or when you want to start fresh.
Some files may be deleted or changed during a reinstall. Create a backup first, so you can get your worlds, configs and plugins back.

Move your server to another location

Click Move server in the sidebar to see where your server runs, for example N24 · Germany, Frankfurt, and its address.
Move server page showing the current node and location, a note that moving servers is switched off, a No node can take this server right now message and an empty History

The Move server page

If you see Moving servers is switched off or No node can take this server right now, you can’t move the server yourself at the moment. Open a ticket and tell us where you’d like your server to be. History lists any moves made for this server.
Moving a server changes its IP address. Tell your players the new address once the move is done.

​
Troubleshooting

Open the Console and read the last lines, or check Logs. If you restored files from a backup afterwards, make sure they match the game version that was installed.
Restore the backup you made before reinstalling. If you didn’t make one, check the Trash and contact support.
If you’re a sub-user, the server owner may not have given you permission. Ask them to change your permissions.

Backups

Make a backup before you reinstall.

Game settings

Change the name players see in-game.
