Pterodactyl
Game Server PanelWhat is Pterodactyl?
Pterodactyl is an open-source game server management panel built with PHP, React, and Docker. It provides a modern web interface for deploying and managing game servers, with each server running in its own isolated Docker container. This ensures resource control and prevents one server from crashing others.
Why Host Pterodactyl on a CloudBlast VPS?
Game servers demand high single-thread performance, fast storage, and DDoS protection. CloudBlast's AMD EPYC processors deliver strong per-core performance for game servers, NVMe storage ensures fast world loading, and built-in DDoS protection keeps your servers online during attacks.
One-click deployment on CloudBlast gets the Pterodactyl panel running in under a minute, ready to create your first game server.
