Why host Pterodactyl on a VPS?
Pterodactyl Panel is an open-source management panel for game servers. It orchestrates your game servers in isolated Docker containers from a modern web interface, with no software licence to pay for and no dependency on a proprietary host.
On an OmegaCloud VPS you deploy Panel and Wings with full root access. One VPS hosts the Panel, while other VPS act as Wings nodes. Our gaming Anti-DDoS 1 Tbit/s protects all of your game servers, and the Paris datacenter keeps latency optimised for your players.

Frequently asked questions about the Pterodactyl VPS
What you need to know before deploying Pterodactyl Panel on your VPS.
Pterodactyl is an open-source management panel for game servers. It lets you deploy, configure and monitor game servers (Minecraft, CS2, ARK, Rust and so on) inside Docker containers from a modern web interface. It is made up of Panel (a Laravel frontend) and Wings (a backend daemon written in Go).
Yes, Wings uses Docker to isolate each game server. Docker has to be installed on every VPS acting as a Wings node. Our Linux VPS comes with root access, so Docker and Wings can be installed in full with no restrictions.
Pterodactyl Panel itself uses around 512 MB to 1 GB of RAM. The game servers use whatever RAM is left on your VPS. For Panel and Wings on the same VPS with 2 or 3 servers: 8 GB (the Medium plan). For a dedicated Wings node with 5 or more game servers: 16 to 32 GB.
Yes, and that is the recommended architecture. One VPS hosts Pterodactyl Panel (the web interface), while other VPS act as Wings nodes. From a single panel you manage dozens of servers spread across several OmegaCloud VPS.
The official Pterodactyl repository (github.com/parkervcp/eggs) holds eggs for Minecraft (Java, Bedrock, Paper, Forge), CS2, ARK Survival, Rust, Terraria, Valheim, TeamSpeak, FiveM, Garry's Mod and more than 100 other games. Custom eggs can also be created.
Set up Nginx as a reverse proxy with a Let's Encrypt SSL certificate for HTTPS. Use a dedicated subdomain (panel.yourdomain.com). Enable 2FA authentication on the admin account. Configure UFW so that only ports 80 and 443 and the Wings port are exposed.
Yes, Pterodactyl Panel and Wings are 100% open-source under the MIT licence. You pay only for your OmegaCloud VPS. No licence fee, no software subscription. The Pterodactyl community provides updates and support free of charge.
Yes, Pterodactyl includes a multi-user management system with quotas (RAM, CPU, disk, ports). Create client accounts, set their limits and let them manage their own game servers independently. Ideal for building a game hosting business.
