Dashboard or Full Panel?


We have two ways to manage your Minecraft server. Most people only need the normal dashboard. The full panel is there if you want more control over files and server settings.

What's the difference?

Dashboard Full Panel
Best for Daily server management More advanced settings
Plugins and mods Browse and install from the interface Manage files and other available content tools
Minecraft version Choose server software and versions More startup settings
Players See players and manage access Console and server files
Server settings Change common settings with controls Edit server.properties yourself
Files Use the file manager File manager and SFTP

Use the dashboard for everyday things

Go to dash.freemchosting.com. You can start or stop your server, see the console, find plugins and mods, change Minecraft versions and manage players. You can also access the rewards page for your free credits.

If you're new to Minecraft servers, start here.

When you might need the full panel

Go to panel.freemchosting.com if you need to edit files directly, upload a larger set of files with SFTP or change advanced startup settings. It's based on Pterodactyl.

Be careful when changing startup options or editing files. Make a backup first, especially if you're changing Minecraft versions or moving worlds.

Which should I use?

Start with the dashboard. If a guide tells you to use the full panel for a particular setting, you can switch to it then.
