Deploy Pterodactyl in one click installation.
Open-source game server management panel with Docker isolation, real-time console, and support for hundreds of games.
What you can build with Pterodactyl
Pterodactyl is the leading open-source game server management panel, trusted by hosting providers and gaming communities worldwide. Each game server runs in its own Docker container, preventing resource conflicts and keeping a compromised server from affecting others on the same machine. The modern React-based interface gives server owners real-time console access, file management, backup scheduling, and resource monitoring.
Self-hosting Pterodactyl eliminates per-server fees charged by managed hosting platforms and gives administrators full control over branding, authentication integrations, and custom eggs for unsupported games. This deployment covers the Panel with MariaDB and Redis — Wings must be installed separately on nodes where game servers will run.
Key features of Pterodactyl
Docker Isolation
Every game server runs in its own container, preventing resource conflicts and keeping the host system secure even if a server is compromised.

Automated Backups
Built-in backup scheduling stores server snapshots to S3-compatible storage, protecting game world data without manual intervention.
Multi-Node Scaling
Manage game servers spread across multiple physical machines from a single Panel, scaling capacity by adding Wings nodes as demand grows.

Hundreds of community-contributed eggs cover Minecraft, Rust, ARK, Counter-Strike, and more — deploy any supported game in seconds.

Docker VPS hosting you can rely on
I'm incredibly happy with Hostinger's VPS hosting! Their uptime is consistently top-notch, keeping my site running smoothly. Whenever I've needed help, their technical support team has been quick, knowledgeable, and genuinely helpful.
Everything is smooth and great with Hostinger, the AI chat bot + human chat, if AI can't resolve your question. Oh and them VPS is just fire, no ups and downs. Thank you dev team and everyone else involved. Keep it up 🚀
Finally a VPS hosting company that does it right! Well-priced. Excellent portal that respects their users' time. Seamless backups. Good support. Reliable. Feels rock-solid.
I reached out to Hostinger support after losing access to my self-hosted n8n instance, and I couldn’t be more impressed. Hostinger Agent and Mohammad from the support team were incredibly patient and thorough.
Many thanks to Carla for helping me with this N8N upgrade on my Hostinger VPS. Professional and knowledgeable, thank you again Carla.
Hostinger VPS is absolutely outstanding. It just always works. It is always fast and stable. Never down, never crashes.
The company is doing well, I am very happy with the specific services I use through them. Not as expensive as some places with really great VPS set ups and price plans.
