We're happy to announce the launch of the most significant update yet to our BisectHosting Games control panel, the Aurora Update, which is officially live now! This more modern control panel design will ensure that managing your server is more streamlined than ever, with some improved options to take better control of your gameplay experience.

The Aurora Update is finally here, which means big improvements for Minecraft servers, which are now seamlessly integrated into the new games control panel.

Config Editor Turn editable text files into a clean, easy-to-use format and modify things like server world size, player count, game difficulty, and more. Learn more about how to use the config editor here. Live Activity Monitor Sort through active processes like downloads, backup restorations, and more in one convenient location to keep up with your spot in the process. Subdomain Configuration Customize subdomains with any prefix and pick from options like bh-games.com, gameservers.fun, and more, and access your server with this subdomain instead of having to remember its IP address.

How to Transfer Your Server to the New and Improved Games Panel

Our new and improved control panel will be available for new customers right away, but existing customers will first need to undergo a transfer process. For existing customers, all server data, including IP addresses, subdomains, instances, backups, player data, and more, will automatically be transferred to the new games panel, though sub-users will need to be reconfigured. Due to bandwidth considerations, however, this will happen incrementally across all locations and nodes over a period of a few weeks. It's important to note that you will receive a notification via email and an announcement on the new panel 24 hours before your server is scheduled to transfer. If you have any questions about this process or run into any issues, you can reach our support team 24/7/365 via our live chat and ticket services for help anytime!
