# Support Main Support Documentation # 📦Choosing services & Hardware --- # What should I choose? Choosing a specific service for you can be daunting for some beginners. But hopefully this guide will help you choose which server is the best for your use case. ### Types of servers & Services We offer Minecraft, Rust, Asseto corsa and many more game servers to choose from. We also have support to use our own domains. But mainly, we will be talking about game servers. Dependent on which game server you are looking to run, the required hardware can vary. But our plans can help you to decide which server is the best for you. --- # What does each feature mean? ## Hardware ### RAM RAM (Random Access Memory) is instructions the server stores temporarily, which gets lost when ever the server powers off. These instructions may include the players current location, what the weather is in the game, etc. Usually the more RAM you see in a server means faster performance, but that also is dependent on the CPU Cores. ### CPU Core(s) a CPU Core is a single processing unit within the CPU (Central Processing Unit). Each CPU Core allows for the server to run 1 action at a time. So this means with 1 core, actions are queued, and then can only be executed one at a time. these actions are done really fast, but if you require a high demand server, we would recommend more than 1 core. Multiple cores mean more actions that can be taken place at one go. If I had 2 cores, 2 actions can take place at once, 3 cores means 3 actions can happen at once, and so on. ## Storage The storage on your server is how much content you can save to our secondary storage devices. This is usually measured in Gigabytes (GB), but some servers if specially requested can have Terabytes (TB) in size ## Software ### Databases Databases are a way for applications to interact with a storage method. We use MariaDB / MySQL For our services. An example this may be helpful if with a plugin on Minecraft called "LuckPerms". This plugin allows server owners to create permissions, giving specific users, or a group of users access to certain function in there server. These permissions can be saved in a file on the Minecraft Server itself. Or it can be stored in a Database. This is particularly helpful if you are running a bungeecord network, which requires a dynamic link, so then all permissions can be written to the same database, and then read from the same database across multiple servers, syncing them up. ### Backups Backups are a way to frequently copy your server files automatically (or manually), which means that if something terribly wrong happened with your server. You can easily rollback the changes from your last backup. Backups are necessary for high demand servers, or even a server with a couple of friends. But ether way, there is no reason not to be safe and back up your server, unless you are running the server as a test. --- # Conclusion For beginners servers are not as confusing as you think, have a play around, experiment with some servers and have fun. --- # ❓About AtomicHost --- # Backstory --- AtomicHost, Created and maintained by Fin - Mostly known by the username "FinGymPlayz" online - has always had a passion in Computer Science, Server Management, and Software Engineering. He made it his journey with a lot of trial and error, to start up his own Minecraft Server. This Minecraft server he made went by the name of "LifeServer". The LifeServer lived many years, but eventually met its end. After learning about how Minecraft server work, He also got interested in making Servers on other games, these servers were just private servers for his friends, on games like Rust, BeamNG, and FiveM. --- # AtomicHost --- I made AtomicHost after many years of hosting, and learning how a majority of game servers work. I decided to share my knowledge with the world, in a cheap and affordable game server hosting.

Proxies are a dedicated server, which handles connections between back end servers. ### What's are backend servers? Backend Servers are multiple servers running separately. Using Minecraft as an example, these backend servers are separate servers, like a lobby, survival server, etc. ## What does a proxy do? The proxy handles these connections. So a client (a user), will connect to the proxy, and then the proxy can decide what backend server they will redirect the user to. and when ever they are connected to a backend server, the proxy can interrupt the connection, and force them to switch servers. --- # How is a proxy useful? Proxies are extremely useful if you know what you are doing. Likewise, using Minecraft as an example, if a user is playing on the *Survival* server, and somehow the server crashes, the proxy can detect that there are no packets being sent to that server, which triggers the proxy to send users to the lobby. This means that if one server on your network crashes, all the other servers will still stay online. This also allows for you to separate what's on each server. If you had just one single server without a proxy, all your plugins will be duplicate across servers (If you are using multiverse), this is not ideal, as you may be able to access commands you only want available in one server, to be executed in another. This is where proxies allow you to put plugins on different servers, as in simple, you are just creating an entire new server for different use cases. --- [![](https://docs.atomichost.xyz/uploads/images/gallery/2025-10/scaled-1680-/image-1761781263880.png)](https://docs.atomichost.xyz/uploads/images/gallery/2025-10/image-1761781263880.png) # 🔃Changing Environment Varibles --- You can change environment varibles, this may include the `server version`, `server image`, `Java Image`, `Name of the server`, etc. --- ### How can i change these varibles? 1. Select `Settings` on the server you want to edit 2. Change the varibles as needed, by clicking `update` to update them #### Why does my new varibles not update on my server? The server varibles may sometimes require a server restart, or in some cases when you are changing the image the server is using, you may need to reinstall the server ***Note: Reinstalling the server will not wipe data, it will just re-run the same installsation script as it ran when the server was first created, we do recommend making backups whenever you do choose to reinstall the server if there are any vital data to your server*** # 🚢Ports --- Server ports allow TCP and UDP connections into your server, allowing for multiple services to run at once --- ### Examples of multiple ports being used: Your main server should always run on your **Primary** port, if this is to be Minecraft, Rust, FiveM etc; Other services, for an example simple voice chat may require an additional port to function, this is where another port for your server will be needed. ### How to create a port on my server? To create a port, you can head over to the server you want to edit, and select the `Networking` tab, here you can click `Create` in the top right hand corner to create a new port. Now you can input this new port into a config file to be used. #### Why can i not create another port? Sometimes the server plan you have bought may not support an extra port, in this case you will have to open up a support ticket, and explain your issue, and our team will assist you further. # 💳Giftcards --- ### To Create A Gift Card - Head over to the Gift Card Dashboard - Select Buy GiftCard - Enter in the amount of money you would like to gift - Enter in the email of the user you want to send it to (optional --> This will send the user an email) - Enter a message (optional --> this will show in the users email) - Select a payment method, we do allow you to use your AtomicHost Balance - Then select Pay Now ### To Redeem a Gift Card - Head over to [GiftCard Redeem](https://atomichost.xyz/giftcard/redeem) page - Enter in the code for the gift card - and press redeem # ❤️‍🩹Recover Data --- Recovering data is possible depending on the status of your server. --- ### Check if your server is eligible for your data to be recovered To do this, next to your server on the [dashboard](https://atomichost.xyz/dashboard) will have a status, which will ether be: - Active - Suspended - Canceled - Terminated ***Active:*** Your server is fully working, all data is still on the `files` tab and can be downloaded directly over the website (not recommended) or over FTP (recommended) ***Suspended:*** Your server data is still there, some services may not function properly, however you have very restricted access to your sevrer, a server suspension is usually caused my a declined or unpaid invoice for your server, to fix this make sure you have paid for the server. ***Canceled:*** Your server data is still there, however all services are unavailable on your server. To recover your data you will have to open a support ticket to temporarily open your server and for you to manually recover your data, or you can uncancel your server and pay for the next month. ***Terminated:*** All your server data has been deleted from our servers, and there is no way to recover your data. Your sevrer will go through phases after a forgotten payment: - Phase 1: Server Suspended - Phase 2: Server Canceled - Phase 3: Server Terminated # 💪Custom Plans & Upgrades --- ### Here at AtomicHost we fully support custom plans & upgrades for your server! --- ### How can I create a custom server?

Here you need to spesify every server Here is the structure of the `server` section ```yml servers: NAME-OF-SERVER: address: SERVER-IP motd: 'MOTD / SHORT DESCRIPTION' restricted: false - keep this ``` Here is an example: ```yml servers: lobby: address: play.atomichost.xyz:0001 motd: '&1Lobby Server' restricted: false survival: address: play.atomichost.xyz:0002 motd: '&1Survival Server' restricted: false ``` Lastly, restart both the proxy and all your back end servers, and then everything should work! if you have any issues don't hesitate to open a support ticket! to learn more about how proxies work, [click here](https://docs.atomichost.xyz/books/support/page/proxies-how-they-work) # Minecraft All support documents about Minecraft # 💻Out of memory error --- This error means that the server has fully used up all the RAM that has been allocated to it. Once the server runs out of memory, it can no longer store or process data, which usually results in crashes, lag, or the server completely shutting down. ### Why does this happen? Servers use RAM to store all the active runtime data — this includes plugins, mods, world data, entities, chunks, and anything else the server needs to function. When the usage reaches the limit, the server cannot continue running correctly. --- ## How to Fix It There are a few ways to resolve this issue depending on your setup and requirements. ### 1. Remove or Optimize Plugins / Mods If you're running a large amount of plugins or mods, some may be heavy on memory usage. You can: - Remove unnecessary plugins or mods. - Replace memory-heavy plugins with lighter alternatives. - Check for memory leaks (plugins that use more RAM the longer the server runs). - Lower view distance in your config files. ### 2. Reduce Server Load Things that increase RAM usage: | Feature | Impact | |--------|--------| | High render/view distance | Very High | | Large amounts of entities (mobs, animals, etc.) | High | | Many loaded chunks | High | | Heavy modpacks | Very High | Reducing these can significantly lower RAM usage. ### 3. Purchase More RAM If your server still runs out of memory after optimizing, the simplest solution is to upgrade your plan and allocate more RAM. This will allow the server to store and process more data without crashing. --- # ⚠️Error: Unable to access jarfile server.jar --- This error is occoured whenever the `server.jar` file can not be found in the root directory, the resolution to this issue is to ensure that the [environment varibles](https://docs.atomichost.xyz/books/support/page/changing-environment-varibles) are set correctly, or by manually downloading the `server.jar` # 🧳Server Resource Packs (Minecraft) --- To add a custom resource pack, you will need to upload your resource pack via one of the following options: - A public dropbox link - AtomicHost webserver #### A public dropbox link: 1.
