NapNodes panel guides: your server, your RAM and your payments
The NapNodes panel is built for people who don't know about servers: start, play and set it up without touching files. These guides explain each part with the names you see on screen, from requesting the free server to splitting your RAM across several games.
Start here
The NapNodes free server: how it works, the queue and turns
How to get it, how to start it and why there's sometimes a queue: the first thing to read if you're starting without paying.
Your server's address: changing it, the port and the extra port
Where the address to play is, when you need the port and how to give it the name you want.
Set up your server without touching files: each game's settings
Difficulty, password, whitelist: every setting for each game without touching files.
Upgrade your free server to a plan without losing the world
When you want it always on and with backups, without losing the world.
Your RAM and your servers
What you pay for is your account's RAM: add more, split it across games or park a server without losing it.
Several servers on one plan: your account's RAM
At NapNodes the RAM you pay for belongs to your account: split it across servers of any game, create another with what's left and move it with “Adjust”.
How to give your server more RAM without reinstalling anything
How to tell whether your server is short of RAM and how to add more at NapNodes, with “More RAM” (pay the difference) or “Buy RAM”, without reinstalling.
Archive and restore a server without losing the world
Archive a server you aren't using: it stops, keeps its world and frees its RAM for another game. How to restore it as it was and what disk it uses.
Your files and your backups
So nothing gets lost, and moving whole worlds without fighting the browser.
Your server's backups: create, download and restore
How to create, download and restore backups of your NapNodes server, the automatic daily backup and how to lock one so it never gets deleted.
SFTP with FileZilla or WinSCP: upload big files to your server
Connect to your NapNodes server over SFTP with FileZilla or WinSCP to upload a world or a modpack: connection details, the password and common errors.
With help and on autopilot
Let your friends lend a hand and have the server restart or back itself up on its own.
Give a friend access to your server without sharing your account
How to let a friend start, moderate or manage your NapNodes server from their own account, without giving them your password, and how to remove their access.
Schedules: automatic restarts, backups and messages
How to schedule a daily restart, an automatic backup or a message to players in the NapNodes panel, in Spanish time and without writing any cron.
Payments and account
Payments, renewals and invoices: how billing works
How you pay for a NapNodes plan, when the invoice arrives, renewal with a saved card, what happens if you don't pay, how to cancel and where your invoices are.
Invite a friend: a free month of your plan for each one
How “Invite a friend” works at NapNodes: your link, when the month of credit arrives, how it comes off your renewals automatically and which cases don't count.
Frequently asked questions
What is the NapNodes panel?
Where you manage everything with a single account: your servers (start, console, files, mods, settings) and, in the menu, buying, paying, your invoices and help. It's at panel.napnodes.com.
Do I need to know about servers to use the panel?
No. The everyday things (starting, the address to play, settings, mods) are right there, in English or Spanish as you choose in “My account”; the technical bits, such as ports, SFTP or schedules, are kept apart in “Advanced settings”.
Can I have servers for several games?
Yes: your plans' RAM belongs to your account and you split it across as many servers as you like, of any game. And, separately, a free server at a time.
Where do I ask for help if something isn't working?
In “Help”, inside the panel: you write your question and we answer you right there.
