World and save migration
Transfer compatible worlds, saves, player data, configurations, and supporting files from a home server or another provider.
Server add-ons and custom setup
Add the tools, content, and configuration your community needs.
A basic server installation is only the starting point. Depending on the game and plan, Down Side Hosting can discuss migrations, mods, plugins, workshop content, databases, additional ports, scheduled tasks, staff access, and other setup work.
Content and migration
Bring an existing project or start with a customized build
Compatibility must be checked before files are moved or installed, especially across different game versions or server software.
Plugin installation
Install compatible plugins, dependencies, configuration files, permissions, and database connections.
Modpack installation
Deploy supported server modpacks or custom mod lists and review version, loader, memory, and dependency needs.
Workshop collections
Configure compatible Steam Workshop collections, item IDs, download settings, and server startup options.
Custom maps and scenarios
Upload supported maps, scenarios, save templates, resource packs, or custom world files.
Version or software changes
Move between compatible server versions, branches, mod loaders, plugin software, or game-server builds with backups first.
Panel and administration
More control for owners and staff
These options improve routine administration without requiring everyone to share the primary account.
Subuser configuration
Create staff access and choose permissions for console, files, backups, power controls, schedules, or databases.
Scheduled maintenance
Configure supported restart routines, warning commands, backup tasks, save commands, or other recurring actions.
Backup planning
Organize restore points around updates, major changes, world milestones, migrations, or community events.
Startup-variable setup
Configure supported game versions, branches, ports, maps, gamemodes, player limits, and launch arguments.
Configuration review
Check common server files for incorrect paths, conflicting settings, missing dependencies, or risky changes.
Reinstallation and clean build
Back up important data, deploy a clean server, and restore only the files required for the new configuration.
Networking and integrations
Connect the server to supporting services
Some communities need more than the default game port. Availability, security, and pricing depend on the plan and requested integration.
Additional port allocationsVoice, query, proxy, cross-play, or supported companion services
MySQL databasesFor compatible plugins, addons, and server applications
Reverse-proxy planningFor supported web maps, dashboards, or companion sites
Domain and DNS guidanceFriendly connection names and supported service records
Discord integrationsCompatible bots, webhooks, status tools, or chat bridges
Proxy or network setupsSupported multi-server or cross-play configurations
Custom requests we can review
- BlueMap or other supported web-map hosting
- Geyser and Floodgate cross-play planning
- Game server query and status integrations
- RCON or remote-administration setup
- Custom startup containers or server eggs
- Temporary event, test, or development servers
- Multiple connected game-server instances
- Website, store, or community-service integrations
Security comes first.
Extra ports, databases, remote tools, and web services are reviewed before deployment rather than being opened automatically.
Ongoing service
Maintenance options for established communities
Recurring or labor-intensive work may require a custom quote rather than being included with the base server plan.
Update assistance
Review compatibility, create a backup, update the server, and test important mods or plugins.
Performance review
Examine resource use, logs, content load, settings, and workload patterns to identify likely bottlenecks.
Content cleanup
Remove outdated files, unused addons, old backups, or conflicting configurations after a verified backup.
Launch-day preparation
Check access, passwords, settings, backups, staff permissions, and server behavior before a planned opening.
How custom work is handled
Request, review, quote, and test
- Send the requirements.
Provide links, files, versions, player estimates, and the desired result. - Compatibility is reviewed.
We check whether the game, plan, software, and platform can support the request. - Scope and price are confirmed.
Simple items may be included; larger migrations or custom work may need a quote. - Back up and implement.
Important data is protected before approved changes are made. - Test before launch.
Verify startup, connections, content, permissions, and expected behavior.
Important limitations
- Third-party mods and plugins are not guaranteed to be bug-free.
- Game updates can break community content without warning.
- Unsupported or abandoned software may be declined.
- Credentials and licensed files must be provided legally.
- Custom work does not replace ongoing mod-author support.
- Backups should be kept before every significant change.
Have a server setup that does not fit a basic plan?
Send the complete request and we will confirm what can be supported, what information is missing, and whether custom work is needed.
