# Server not starting properly

##### Is your server not starting properly? Here are some possible fixes and steps to find the issue.

1. ##### Check the Console: Look in your Control Panel’s console (our custom panel) for any error messages that appear right before the server goes offline.

2. ##### Review Your Plugins/Mods: If you recently added a plugin or mod, try temporarily removing it. Sometimes outdated or incompatible plugins cause the server to crash.

3. ##### Check Server Settings: Make sure your server is on a compatible version. If it’s a modded server, you’ll want to ensure the mods match the server’s version.

4. ##### Monitor Resource Usage: If your server has a lot of players or mods, it might need a higher plan to give it enough CPU power.
