Everything needed to configure, automate, and get the most out of your Sparky Host services.
Getting started
From order to online server in minutes.
- Order your plan and complete checkout
- Receive panel credentials by email instantly
- Log in to the panel and choose your software (Paper, Node.js, WordPress...)
- Start the service — you're online
Minecraft: installing Paper
From the panel sidebar, open Software → select Paper → choose your Minecraft version → click Install. Your server restarts automatically once installation completes.
Managing plugins
Use the built-in Plugin Manager to search, install, and update plugins without manually uploading JAR files. Uploaded plugins also appear automatically in /plugins.
Deploying a Discord bot
Choose Node.js, Python, or Java as your runtime, set your start command, and either upload your files or connect a Git repository for push-to-deploy. PM2 keeps your bot alive with automatic restarts.
Custom startup commands
Override the default startup command from Settings → Startup in the panel — useful for custom entry points or environment flags.
Backups & restore
Automatic scheduled backups run on your plan's cadence and are stored off-site. Restore any backup with one click from Backups in the panel — no ticket required.
