Platform Overview
Welcome to Ray Hosting! We've built this platform to give you absolute control over your game servers, packing beefy enterprise hardware into a sleek, no-nonsense dashboard.
The Client Dashboard
The second you log in, you'll land on your main Dashboard. This is your command centre to:
- Keep track of all your active, pending, or expired servers.
- Keep an eye on live Performance Monitors (CPU Load, CPU Threads, Player Activity, Storage, Uptime).
- Sort out your Billing & Invoices, tweak Account Settings, and inspect Security Logs.
The Server Control Panel
Clicking on a server fires up its dedicated Control Panel. This is your personal cockpit, loaded with specialized tabs:
1. Server Dashboard
The main hub for your server. Get a quick health check and connection details in a flash:
- Performance Monitor: Live tracker for CPU Load, CPU Threads, Player Activity, and Uptime.
- Connection Info: Grab your server's IP address and Port so you and your mates can join.
- Quick Status: See if your server is Active, Pending, or in Recovery mode.
- Version Tracking: Compare your Current Version against the Available Version (Remote Build) to see if you need to fetch the latest update.
- Quick Actions: Modify Subdomains, manage server permissions, or hit the Reset Everything button if things get messy.
2. Built-in Tools
- Console: Watch live logs scroll by and send commands straight to your server. Toggle Debug mode if you need to hunt down nasty bugs.
- File Manager: A fully-featured web file manager with FTP/SFTP support, Unzip capabilities, and Steam Workshop mod management built right in.
- Mods & Plugins: Direct integration with CurseForge and Hangar to search and install game tweaks in a single click.
- Backups (Snapshots): Set up automated file snapshots and export MySQL Database Dumps so you never lose progress.
- Database: Manage your PhpMyAdmin & MySQL database credentials.
- Settings & Extras: Manage server access (Managers), swap games on the fly with Game Switching, hook up Alert integrations (Discord, Slack, etc.), and fine-tune your DDoS mitigation.
Storage & Quotas
To keep our nodes running smoothly for everyone, we keep an eye on disk space. If you go over your plan's storage limit:
- You'll get up to 3 warnings via email and your panel.
- If you're still in the red after the 3rd warning, your server will be automatically suspended (taken offline) until you free up some space or upgrade your plan.
- Critical Overflow: If you blow past your limit by more than 1GB, we might suspend the server immediately to protect the host node's IOPS and keep everyone else lag-free.
