Common Registration Issues

"Blocked by Cloudflare Turnstile" Error

This error appears if you click "Register" or "Login" before the Turnstile security check is complete. Always wait for the green checkmark before proceeding.

Claiming a Free Server

Once your account is set up, you can deploy your first free server. The process is a simple 5-step wizard on the dashboard.

Finding the "Create Server" Button

In the dashboard, look for the main navigation sidebar on the left. Click on the "Create Server" button to begin.

Step 1: Server Details

This first screen is where you give your server its identity.

• Server Name: Choose a name for your server. This will be visible to you in the panel.
• Description: Provide a brief, sensible description of your server's purpose.

Step 2: Select Category

Next, choose the general type of service you want to host. The options available may change over time, but will include categories like Minecraft, Discord Bots, Web Hosting, and more.

Step 3: Select Location

Choose the physical location where your server will be hosted. We recommend selecting the node with the lowest latency (ping) for the best performance.

Step 4: Select Server Type

Within the category you chose, select the specific software you want to run. For example, if you chose Minecraft, you might see options like PaperMC, Forge, or Velocity.

Read the description for each type carefully, as some may have specific requirements or restrictions.

Step 5: Resource Allocation

Finally, allocate the resources for your server, such as Memory (RAM), CPU, and Disk space. The available amounts will depend on your plan (Free Tier or paid).

Once you've set your resources, click "Create Server" to send it to the deployment queue!

Important Rules & Limits

To ensure a fair and stable environment for all users, we enforce a strict set of rules. All services are monitored by our proprietary automated system, Silent Stalker, which actively prevents abuse.

The Silent Stalker System

Silent Stalker is our custom-built, proprietary automated security system that monitors all servers and network activity in real-time. It uses a vast, constantly updated database of known abuse patterns to detect any form of ToS violation, resource abuse, or malicious activity.

• Its goal is to automate abuse prevention, ensuring platform stability and security.
• If Silent Stalker detects a violation, it will immediately suspend the offending server(s).
• The case is then flagged for an administrator to review, which may lead to a permanent account action, such as a blacklist.

Resource Limits (Free Tier)

• Bot & Web Hosting: Strictly limited to 256MB RAM and 25% CPU usage.
• Minecraft Servers: No hard CPU or RAM limits, but are still monitored for excessive, disruptive usage.
• Network: While there are no hard bandwidth caps, services causing network instability will be suspended.
• Databases: There are no limits on the number of databases you can create.

Strictly Prohibited Activities

Engaging in any of the following activities will result in immediate suspension by Silent Stalker and a likely account termination:

• Creating Alternate ("Alt") Accounts: Each user is permitted only one account. Circumventing this is strictly forbidden.
• Cryptocurrency Mining: Running any form of crypto miner or related software.
• Malicious Network Activity: Launching DDoS attacks, port scanning, phishing, or any form of cyberattack from our services.
• Hosting Illegal Content: Hosting or distributing copyrighted material without permission, or any content that violates local or international law.
• Resource Abuse: Intentionally running scripts or applications designed to lag or crash a node.

First Steps After Deployment

Congratulations on creating your new server! Once you click "Create Server," it enters a deployment queue. Here’s what happens next and what you should do once it's ready.

The Deployment Process

Your server will begin installing automatically. This process usually takes between 3 to 5 minutes to complete. You will receive an email notification as soon as your server is online and ready to be used. After deployment, you will be returned to the main dashboard page, where you will see your new server listed.

Managing Your New Server

On the dashboard, you will see a card representing your new server, which provides a quick overview and essential management tools.

Your First Launch Checklist

1. Access the Control Panel: Click the purple "Panel" button on your server card. This will take you to the powerful Pterodactyl control panel at panel.kingsnetwork.uk.
   Login Details: Use the same credentials you created for the dashboard. You must log in with your email and password, not your username.
2. Start Your Server: In the control panel, locate and click the "Start" button.
3. Check the Console: Watch the live console as your server boots up. This is the most important step to ensure everything is working correctly. If you see any red [ERROR] messages, it indicates a problem that needs to be addressed.
4. Find Your Connection Details: Once the console indicates your server is online and ready (e.g., for Minecraft, it will say "Done!"), find your server's IP address and Port on the panel's main page. Use these details to connect to your game or service!
