Choose what you want to host
X Systems Hosting puts Discord bot hosting, email hosting, billing, credits, and server management behind the same account. Sign in with Discord, open the dashboard, then choose the service you need.
- Discord Bot Hosting for Node.js, Python, TypeScript, C# / .NET, Luau, Java, Golang, Rust, and PHP bots
- Email Hosting for mailboxes on domains you own
- The server panel for console, files, startup settings, SFTP, and backups
Recommended first setup
- 1Sign in with Discord at xsystemshosting.com.
- 2Open Dashboard and choose Discord or Email.
- 3Create the service from the X Systems dashboard first.
- 4For Discord bot servers, open the panel from the server management page.
- 5Upload your files, configure startup or environment values if your project needs them, then start the server.
- 6Before making large changes, create a backup if your server has an available backup slot.
Dashboard versus panel
Use the X Systems dashboard for account-level actions such as creating servers, adding runtime, buying upgrades, changing limits, choosing Unlimited, and managing email domains. Use the Hydrodactyl panel for what happens inside an individual Pterodactyl server: console, files, startup settings, SFTP details, processes, and backups.
Good rule
If an action changes your plan, credits, runtime, or server resources, do it on xsystemshosting.com. If an action changes files or the running application inside the server, do it in the panel.
