Pterodactyl key features

Intuitive Web Interface

Pterodactyl provides a clean, user-friendly web interface that makes it easy to manage game servers, users and configurations without needing deep technical knowledge.

Docker-Based Isolation

It uses Docker containers to isolate game server environments, enhancing security and resource management by keeping each server separate.

Powerful REST API

The platform offers a fully-featured REST API, allowing developers to automate server management, integrate with other systems or build custom tools.

Role-Based Access Control (RBAC)

Admins can assign different roles and permissions to users and teams, enabling fine-grained control over who can access or manage what.

Support for Multiple Games

Pterodactyl supports a wide range of game servers out of the box (e.g., Minecraft, CS:GO, ARK), and its extensible design allows adding more through custom Docker images.

Centralized Node Management

It allows centralized control of multiple server nodes from a single panel, making it scalable for hosting providers or advanced users managing multiple machines.

Database and SFTP Integration

Built-in MySQL database management and SFTP access enable users to manage game data and configurations easily and securely.

Server Resource Monitoring

Real-time monitoring of the server CPU, memory and disk usage is provided, helping users and admins track performance and resource allocation.

What customers say

Crytek
After launching another successful IP — HUNT: Showdown, a competitive first-person PvP bounty hunting game with heavy PvE elements, Crytek aimed to bring this amazing game for its end-users. We needed a hosting provider that can offer us high-performance servers with great network speed, latency, and 24/7 support.
Stefan Neykov Crytek
doXray
doXray has been using HOSTKEY for the development and the operation of our software solutions. Our applications require the use of GPU processing power. We have been using HOSTKEY for several years and we are very satisfied with the way they operate. New requirements are setup fast and support follows up after the installation process to check if everything is as requested. Support during operations is reliable and fast.
