How to Upload a Pre-Made Server to Your Panel 🛠️

Quick Guide: How to Upload a Pre-Made Server to HolyHosting📜​

Hello! If you have ever wanted to upload a pre-made server to your control panel without the hassle of installing plugins/mods or configuring it manually, you're in the right place! Today we'll show you how to do it quickly and easily.

📥 Download Your Pre-Made Server

The first thing you need to do is make sure you already have a pre-made server downloaded on your computer. This server must be in a compressed file.

🗂️ Access Your Control Panel

• Enter the control panel, then find the "Files"
• Once inside "Files" we are going to delete our old server (if we have files installed in this section)

• The "Files" section must be empty.

📤 Upload the Server Files

To upload the pre-made server to the control panel, we are going to use SFTP, since the server we are going to upload can usually be quite large.

• Go to "Information" then click on "Launch SFTP"
  (To do this you need to have WinSCP or FileZilla on your computer, in this tutorial we will use WinSCP: ------> DOWNLOAD LINK

• Once we click on "Launch SFTP" a window like the following will open, where we log in with the same credentials we use for our panel.

📁​ Inside WinSCP 📂

Inside WINSCP, we can see the following:

• On the Left Side, you can manage your computer's files
• On the Right Side, you can access the panel files of our server, in this case it's empty because we deleted everything it contained, remember?

• To upload our pre-made server it's as simple as dragging the file to the right side window (our panel's)

• After doing this, a tab like the following will open:
  (The upload time will depend on the size of the file you are uploading.)

• Once the upload is complete, we should see our compressed file displayed as follows:

🚀 Back to the Panel

With the compressed file uploaded, let's go back to our server's control panel.

• Go to the "Files"
• Click the three dots on our compressed file and select the option "Unarchive"
  (This may take some time, depending on the file size)

🟢 Start the server to verify everything loaded correctly

• Turn on the server

• Enter the server.

• Done! we now have our pre-made server loaded.

❗ Frequent Problems and Solutions ❗

🛑 The server doesn't start

• Common Cause: Missing or misconfigured files.
• Solution✔️: Check the server folder to make sure all necessary files are present, especially the server.jar file. Verify that the eula.txt file has the value eula=true.

🔄 The server shuts down unexpectedly

• Common Cause: Lack of memory or plugin/mod conflicts.
• Solution✔️: Check the RAM usage on your server and consider upgrading the plan if necessary. Review the logs for errors related to plugins or mods and disable them if necessary.
