When to Upgrade

Consider upgrading when:

CPU or RAM usage consistently exceeds 75%
You’re adding mods, plugins, or heavy scripts
Player count is growing
You experience lag during peak times

Step 3: Deploy Your Server

Log in to panel.mambahost.com
Your new server appears on the dashboard
Click your server to open the console
Click Start to boot your server
Wait for the console to show “Server ready” or similar message

Most servers are ready in under 2 minutes.

Step 4: Configure Your Server

After your server starts, you’ll want to customize it:

Essential First Steps

Note your server address — Find your IP and port on the console page
Set a server name — Edit in your game’s config file
Configure settings — Adjust gameplay options, passwords, etc.
Upload existing files — Use File Manager or SFTP for worlds, mods, or scripts

For Game Servers

Game	Key Config File	Common Settings
Minecraft	`server.properties`	MOTD, max players, difficulty, whitelist
FiveM	`server.cfg`	Server name, max players, resources
Rust	`server.cfg`	Server name, map size, wipe schedule
CS2	`server.cfg`	Game mode, map rotation, RCON

For Discord Bots

Upload your bot files via File Manager
Set environment variables (bot token, API keys) in the Startup tab
Install dependencies via the console:
- Node.js: npm install
- Python: pip install -r requirements.txt
Start your bot

Step 5: Invite Your Team

Don’t share your main login. Create sub-users instead:

Go to Settings → Users in the panel
Click New User
Enter their email
Set permissions (console only, file access, full control, etc.)

Step 6: Set Up Backups

Protect your data with automatic backups:

Go to Backups in the panel
Click Create Backup for an immediate backup
Configure scheduled backups in Schedules
