More than three billion people on our planet are gamers, and their number is increasing every year. Many of them are dreaming of having their own game server to be able to play without lagging or failures, yet not many can afford to buy it. Game server hosting is a dedicated service that providers can expose on such occasions. It allows to select an optimal tariff in terms of cost and resource capacity.
Now that we have integrated our platform with Pterodactyl, the providers that utilize BILLmanager are able to attract a large audience of gamers and to extend the range of their services.
Pterodactyl is a control panel for managing game servers. It is simple and secure in use: Pterodactyl runs every host in an isolated docker-container and provides users with an intuitive interface.
The integration allows to automate provisioning of game servers and frees provider from expenses related to manual deployment of stands. The client orders the required number of hosts using BILLmanager interface, then the platform transfers all information to Pterodactyl and deploys game server based on the client’s data. With that further life cycle of the service according to its selected tariff is implemented in billing, while server management is implemented in Pterodactyl.
Integration module is written in Python, therefore you can adapt its operation logic to your needs if required.
To launch the service, provider needs to configure the handler and perform necessary actions on the BILLmanager and Pterodactyl side.
Please refer to our documentation for a detailed setup instruction.
Consistent dedicated game server is the underpinning of satisfied gamers who will use the service and recommend it to their friends.
