Optymous is our game server panel

control.hostsrc.com

Optymous runs here. It is where you manage your Hostsrc servers.

Open the control panel (opens in a new tab)

We knew Pterodactyl could be better, so we forked it and built the panel we wanted. That's how Optymous started.

Hostsrc customers use it today. We're building it for other game server providers too, with a first beta planned for Q2 to Q3 2027.

Host a Counter-Strike 1.6 server with us and you manage it in Optymous.

Work on your files quickly

Edit configs, plugins and maps from the keyboard. Every shortcut shows the right keys for Mac or Windows.

Keyboard shortcuts

CtrlPorCmdP
Open one of your last 30 files and folders.
CtrlGorCmdG
Go straight to a folder.
RorF2
Rename the selected file.
?
Show every shortcut.
Drag to move
Drag files onto a folder or the breadcrumb to move them. Undo stays on screen for 10 seconds.

  • Search names and contents

    Search file names across the whole server, or search inside files to find which config sets a cvar.

  • Game configs highlighted

    The editor gives .cfg, .ini and .properties files the right highlighting.

  • FastDL in one click

    One button in the file manager sets your files up for FastDL. Each sync is logged.

  • SFTP one click away

    Your SFTP details are in the panel, with a link that opens the connection.

Schedules, backups and databases

Your server's time zone

Pick your server's time zone in Settings, with its UTC offset beside it. Schedules run in that zone, and the game gets it too. A schedule can keep a zone of its own.

Back up files or a database

Back up the server's files or one of its databases. Start a backup by hand, or add it to a schedule as a task. A deleted backup is kept for a retention period before it is removed.

Your databases

Several users
Give one database more than one user.
Remote access
Choose where the database accepts connections from, and change it later.
Password rotation
Rotate a user's password from the panel.

Run a community with your team

Invite people to a server by email and give each one a role. They accept the invitation from their own account.

  • Owner
  • Co-owner
  • Moderator
  • Member

These four come ready. You can add your own roles too, each with its own colour.

  • Activity panel

    See who did what on the server. The panel refreshes on its own.

  • Keep a server private

    Close any of your servers to the public and let in only the players you choose, such as friends, testers or a scrim team.

  • Sign-in and sessions

    Sign in with your Hostsrc account, by email code, Google or Discord. You can sign out your other sessions from your account.

When something goes wrong

  • A banner when the node has trouble

    If your server's node is reconnecting, unreachable or in maintenance, a banner says which. Pages that read from the panel stay usable.

  • Search the console, copy it for a ticket

    Search the console output, then copy up to the last 5,000 lines in one go to paste into a ticket. On a phone, swipe to scroll and tap Bottom for the newest line.

  • Help from inside the panel

    The panel's help menu links to a new support ticket and to our Discord.

  • Players online

    The status bar shows a live player count on CS 1.6 servers and on other games that support it.

See how your server runs

Look back at how your server ran, not only how it runs now. The history has its own page in the panel.

History charts

  • CPU
  • Memory
  • Network
  • Disk I/O

Start, stop and crash markers sit on the same charts, at the moment each one happened.

Log search

Search your server's logs from the same page.

A CS 1.6 section

A Counter-Strike 1.6 section shows tickrate and the FPS maximum. It works once you set up the game integration on your server.

Built for game server providers

These are in Optymous today. Other game server providers get them with the first beta, planned for Q2 to Q3 2027.

Brand Studio

Put your own name, logos and favicon on the panel, from the sign-in page to the header. Change the navigation icons, the footer, banners and the console prompt too.

  • Preview the result full screen.
  • Restore an earlier revision.
  • Export a brand and import it elsewhere.

  • Staff roles and an audit log

    Staff get admin access by role, and the admin menu shows only what a role allows. A searchable audit log sits in the admin area.

  • Pterodactyl and Pelican eggs

    Import game templates from the Pelican egg catalogs, eggs.pterodactyl.io or a URL. Optymous reads both formats, Pelican's YAML eggs included, and can update an egg from its source.

  • Tags

    Tag your nodes, and the tags decide where new servers deploy.

  • Extensions

    Extensions add pages, settings and permissions to the panel. Optymous checks that each one fits the panel version and looks for updates. The SDK comes with the beta.

API and documentation

The Client API reference is open to everyone, with no login. Your account links to it too, under API Credentials.

Open the Client API reference (opens in a new tab)
