Australia-based video game server hosting service company Shockbyte has announced the upcoming release of its Game Server Control Panel, a new platform that aims to provide secure server hosting.
A player-owned game server (POGS) hosting provider since 2013, Shockbyte offers POGS for multiple games including Minecraft, Valheim, Skyrim Together and CS:GO. It is one of the world’s longest-running Minecraft server hosting providers, with approximately 28 million Minecraft players having played on its servers.
The company has said that its new Game Server Control Panel is 185 per cent faster on average than the previous panel, reducing page load times to just 150ms and providing a direct connection to the users’ server for live, instant server information. This platform will enable players to set up and control servers for their favourite video games faster and easier than before, with superfast server activation and a streamlined, minimal-click backend for installing game mods, managing server files, inviting friends to co-host or transferring server regions.
With the introduction of the new Instances feature, players will be able to easily switch between different versions or game modes within the same server, letting them quickly jump between pre-configured game types at any moment. Additional functionalities include advanced port management, database management, remote console commands, one-click commands, day/night mode, and more.
“Our ambition for the new Shockbyte Control Panel is to create the fastest, simplest and most secure server hosting tool ever made,” said Shockbyte CEO Mitch Smith. “The number of clicks, speed, customisation and control over your server has been streamlined to make the Shockbyte Control Panel an accessible tool for veteran server hosts and newcomers to hosting alike. We’re delighted to invite users to check out our beta to see for themselves how this will change the game for server hosting.”
Shockbyte’s Control Panel is available now in Open Beta, allowing invited Shockbyte users to check out all the new features of the platform for free prior to its official launch.
