Server Status Checks
The panel periodically checks:

- Process status
If checks fail repeatedly, the server may be flagged as crashed.
Best Practices
Before Reinstalling
- Download a complete backup
- Save your configurations locally
- Export databases if needed
- Document any custom changes
SFTP Security
- Use a strong panel password
- Don’t share SFTP credentials
- Use SFTP (not FTP) for encryption
Regular Maintenance
- Monitor disk usage
- Clean up old logs
- Remove unused mods/plugins
Troubleshooting
SFTP Connection Failed
- Verify credentials are correct
- Check server address and port
- Ensure panel password is current
- Try a different SFTP client
Server Shows Wrong Name
- The in-game name is set in server config files
- Panel name is separate from game name
- Check
server.properties for Minecraft MOTD
Reinstall Stuck
