FAQ

Common
questions.

Still need help? Join our Discord or read the docs.

Which game servers does FeatherPanel support?

FeatherPanel supports Minecraft (Java & Bedrock), Rust, CS2, ARK, Valheim, Terraria, and 200+ more through the community-maintained spell/egg ecosystem. You can also create and import custom server templates.

How does FeatherPanel compare to Pterodactyl?

FeatherPanel is a full rewrite from the ground up. It uses 22× fewer resources, boots in under a second, and comes with a built-in Web IDE, plugin marketplace, and unified support for game servers, Proxmox VMs, and web hosting all in one panel. Pterodactyl requires MariaDB + Redis + Wings just to run.

Can I migrate from Pterodactyl to FeatherPanel?

Yes. Enterprise customers get Pterodactyl Addon Portability included. We also provide migration documentation. Community users can follow the step-by-step migration guide in our docs.

Does FeatherPanel use Docker or a daemon like Wings?

FeatherPanel uses its own lightweight daemon no Docker overhead per server. This means lower CPU and RAM usage compared to container-based architectures, while still providing strong isolation between game server instances.

How many game servers can one FeatherPanel instance manage?

FeatherPanel scales from a single node to thousands of servers. We have providers managing 5,000+ instances from a single panel installation. The architecture is designed for fleet-scale operations with minimal overhead.

Is there a free tier or self-hosted option?

The self-hosted version is completely free under the AGPL-3.0 license no seat limits, no server limits, no feature gates. You get the full panel including plugins, API, and all modules. Cloud and Enterprise plans add managed hosting and priority support.
