The Console shows what your game server is doing, live. You can also type commands into it, just as if you were sitting at the server. When something goes wrong, Share log gives you a safe link to send to our support team.

Open the console

Open your server from the dashboard, then click Console in the sidebar. The console is also the page you land on when you open a server.

The console

​
Send a command

1

Click the command box

Click Type a command… under the console output.
2

Type the command

Type a command your game understands, for example status or say Hello everyone. Commands are different for every game. Don’t type a / unless your game needs one.
3

Press Enter

The command is sent and the server’s reply appears in the console.
The server must be Online to accept commands.

​
Reuse a recent command

Click the clock icon at the right of the command box. Recent commands lists the commands you sent before. Click one to put it in the box, then press Enter to send it.

​
Share your log

If your server has a problem, a log link is the fastest way to get help. It saves you copying and pasting the console.

Click Share log

Click Share log above the console.

Choosing what to share

3

Click Create link

You get a link that starts with https://logs.freakhosting.com/.
Share log dialog with the new link, Copy and Open buttons, the number of lines, the number of IP addresses removed, the delete date and an Open a ticket button

Your log link

4

Send it to us

Click Copy, then Open a ticket and paste the link into your ticket. Click Done to close.
Passwords, keys and IP addresses are removed from the log automatically. The dialog tells you how many were removed. Anyone with the link can read it, but it isn’t listed anywhere, and it is deleted automatically after about three months. The exact date is shown under the link.
To remove a link straight away, click Delete the link in the same dialog.

​
Troubleshooting

Check that the server is Online. Make sure you’re using a command your game knows. Some games don’t print anything back for every command.
The console only shows output while the server is running. Start the server and the output appears. For older output, look in the logs.
The server owner decides whether you can send commands. Ask them to give you console permission. See subusers.

Read the logs

Search and filter your log files.

Start, stop and restart

Control your server’s power.
