Self-hosted game-server management. Add games via 'eggs' — Minecraft, ARK, Rust, CS2, Valheim, Terraria, Garry's Mod, Team Fortress 2, dozens more. One VPS, many servers, central admin panel. Built for Power gamers, small hosting resellers, gaming communities.
Every pterodactyl game panel plan includes free DDoS protection, full root access, IPv6 networking, daily snapshots, and 24/7 human support.
Order, wait 30 seconds for deploy, log in — your stack is running.
Hundreds of pre-made game configs — install Rust, ARK, CS2, Valheim with one click.
Create accounts for friends with limited permissions. Let them start/stop their own server without admin access.
Auto-restart at 3 AM, backup at midnight, run a command at 6 PM Friday. Cron, but visual.
Cap one server at 2 GB RAM so it can't starve another. Real cgroups, real isolation.
Each game server gets its own SFTP endpoint. Drop in mods, mappings, configs without leaving your file manager.
We can deploy Pelican (community-led fork with stronger governance) if preferred. Same recipe, swap the image.

You could install Pterodactyl Panel on a generic $5 VPS. Most people who try spend an evening on the install, another on hardening, another on backups, and then it falls over the first time the kernel updates. We've done that work — every pterodactyl game panel plan is tuned, monitored, and updateable in one click.
No black boxes — here's the exact software shipped on every Pterodactyl Game Panel VPS plan.
The Pterodactyl Game Panel VPS image ships with: Pterodactyl Panel + Wings (or Pelican Panel fork). We don't fork or patch — we use the official upstream releases, with sensible defaults for our hardware. Update on your schedule, not ours.
Everything runs in containers via Docker, so updates are atomic. If a release breaks something, roll back to the previous image in 30 seconds. No 'I broke prod by running apt upgrade' moments.
The same KVM hypervisor and enterprise NVMe drives we use across every OliveVPS region.
Pick from 20+ datacenter regions worldwide. Pterodactyl Game Panel VPS VPS pricing stays the same in every region — the hardware specs, the bandwidth allowance, the SSD speed. The only thing that changes is your latency to end users.
Pelican is the actively-maintained fork by the community after some Pterodactyl governance drama. We default to Pterodactyl (more eggs, larger user base) but happily install Pelican on request — same Docker image structure.
Depends on the games. Minecraft (modded): 1 server per 4 GB. Valheim: 1 per 2 GB. CS2: 1 per 1 GB. Plan accordingly — Starter holds 1–2 small servers, Pro holds 4–6, Premium holds 10+.
Yes — that's a legitimate use case. Many small hosting brands started on a single Pterodactyl VPS. As you scale, upgrade to dedicated servers for the wings, keep the panel on a VPS.
Yes — every egg supports a SFTP / file manager interface for dropping in custom assets. For Forge/Fabric/Spigot you can install mods, plugins, and configs the same way you would on a bare server.
Order in 60 seconds. Server live in 30. No setup fees, 7-day money-back guarantee.
