Getting Started with Your Game Server
A quick overview of how to order, access, and manage your DustBowl.Games server for the first time.
Welcome to DustBowl.Games
Congratulations on your new game server! Here's how to get up and running.
1. Order Your Server
Head to our Game Servers page and pick the game you want to host. Click Order Now to be taken to our billing portal where you can select your plan and complete checkout.
2. Access Your Control Panel
Once your order is processed (usually within minutes), you'll receive an email with your control panel login credentials. We use AMP by CubeCoders as our primary panel and WISP (Pterodactyl-based) as our secondary panel.
- AMP Panel: Full-featured web dashboard with instant server management
- WISP Panel: Docker-based panel for additional game support
3. Start Your Server
Log into your panel, find your server in the dashboard, and click Start. Most servers come pre-configured with sensible defaults so you can jump right in.
4. Connect and Play
Your server's IP address and port are displayed on your panel dashboard. Share these with your friends and start playing!
