My game server will not start
The checks that fix most servers that stay offline or stop right after starting.
- Open your server in the dashboard. If it says Suspended, an invoice is overdue: paying it restores the server automatically.
- Look at the storage meter. A server whose storage is full cannot start; delete files or upgrade your plan.
- Open the control panel from the dashboard and read the last lines of the console. The error there usually names the problem, such as a bad setting or a broken mod.
- If a recent change broke it, restore a backup from the Backups section of your server page.
- Still stuck? Open a support request and the diagnostics we collect will be attached for you.
