Pterodactyl Panel hosting on unmetered bare-metal.

Run your own game-hosting control plane — Pterodactyl Panel plus Wings nodes on high-clock CPUs, NVMe and unmetered ports. Deploy any game in Docker-isolated containers, protected by 1.6 Tbit/s of DDoS scrubbing. One panel, many games, your infrastructure.

Why run Pterodactyl on your own iron.

High-clock CPUs win tickrate

Game servers care about single-thread speed, not core count. Ryzen and EPYC nodes with high clocks keep tickrate steady on CS2, Minecraft, Rust and FiveM where budget shared hosts stutter.

Docker isolation, many games

Pterodactyl's Wings daemon runs each server in its own Docker container — CS2, Minecraft, ARK, Valheim, custom eggs — cleanly isolated on one node. Add games from the panel, no reinstalls.

Booter-proof and unmetered

Game servers attract booters; 1.6 Tbit/s of always-on scrubbing keeps them online. And the unmetered port means player traffic and mod downloads never hit a meter.

Scale from panel to fleet

Start with the panel and one node; add Wings nodes across our four PoPs as you grow, all managed from a single control plane. Resell or run a community — it's your infrastructure.

Pterodactyl pre-installed

Panel and Wings daemon deployed with Docker, a database and an HTTPS reverse proxy — ready to add games and users.

High-clock game CPUs

Ryzen 9 or EPYC nodes tuned for single-thread performance, so tickrate stays steady under load.

Unmetered port

10 / 25 Gbit/s at flat pricing — player traffic, mod downloads and backups never hit a per-GB meter.

Always-on DDoS

1.6 Tbit/s of L3-L7 scrubbing in front of every node keeps servers online through booter attacks.

Multi-node ready

Add Wings nodes across Amsterdam, Warsaw, Kyiv and Miami and manage them all from one panel — place servers near the players.

Root access

Full root on the host — install custom eggs, tune Docker, script backups, integrate billing for reselling.

Pterodactyl Panel hosting — self-hosted game-server control plane, unmetered

Pterodactyl is the open-source game-server management panel: a clean web control plane plus a Wings daemon that runs each game server in its own Docker container. It's what serious communities and game-hosting resellers use to run many games — Minecraft, CS2, Rust, ARK, FiveM and anything with an egg — from a single dashboard. What it needs underneath is high-clock CPUs, fast NVMe and a network that won't fall over when a server gets attacked.

Hostfory provides exactly that. Nodes run on high-clock Ryzen and EPYC CPUs so tickrate stays steady, NVMe keeps world saves and chunk loads instant, and every node sits behind 1.6 Tbit/s of always-on DDoS scrubbing — because game servers are constant booter targets. The port is unmetered, so player traffic, mod downloads and backups never hit a per-gigabyte meter, and you can add Wings nodes across our four PoPs and manage them all from one panel to place servers near your players.

You get full root on the host to install custom eggs, tune Docker and integrate billing if you're reselling. Servers provision in a few hours with the panel and a first node ready — start with one box and grow into a multi-node fleet from the same control plane.

/ faq

Pterodactyl Panel questions, answered.

What games can I run?
Anything with a Pterodactyl egg — Minecraft (all variants), CS2, Rust, ARK, Valheim, FiveM, Palworld and hundreds more — plus custom eggs you write. Each runs in its own Docker container on a Wings node.
Can I add more nodes as I grow?
Yes — that's the point of Pterodactyl. Start with the panel and one node, then add Wings nodes across Amsterdam, Warsaw, Kyiv and Miami and manage them all from a single dashboard, placing servers near your players.
Are the servers protected from DDoS?
Yes — 1.6 Tbit/s of always-on L3-L7 scrubbing sits in front of every node. Game servers are constant booter targets, so this is included, not an add-on.
Is the bandwidth unmetered?
Yes — the 10 / 25 Gbit/s port runs at rated speed for a flat monthly price, no per-GB meter. Player traffic, big mod downloads and backups don't move the bill.
Can I resell game hosting on it?
Yes — you have full root and Pterodactyl supports user accounts, resource limits and billing integrations, so it's a common base for a game-hosting business. Multi-node tiers are sized for it.
Why not just buy managed game-server slots?
Slots are convenient but limited and priced per server. Running Pterodactyl gives you your own infrastructure: unlimited servers within your hardware, high-clock CPUs, unmetered traffic and full control — cheaper at scale and yours to customise.
How fast is setup?
A few hours — the server provisions with the Panel and a first Wings node installed behind HTTPS, ready to add games and users. Migration help is on us for annual plans.

In-stock configs provision in 1–3 hours. Migration from another host is on us.
