Is there a way to do this on GPortal that I am just missing?

[lost ember]

So I have had a LOT of servers with GPortal going back almost a decade. Mostly the service has been ok.

I have been getting 20 slots servers paid for one year in advance for a while now.

Not too long ago I wanted to setup a server for a game that is only hosted by one provider so I set myself up an account with them. I would have hosted the server on GPortal if I could have.

Anyway... this is the part that is wild to me...

Unless I am missing something, to change from one game to another you have to free up enough slots to add the new game. You cannot turn one of your servers off and remove the slots from it temporarily to be used by a different game you would like to play. This means you have to save the relevant game files from the game server and then remove it to add the game you would like to play, or pay more money to add more slots... even though you would only be using the slots of the new game, while the game you aren't playing is turned off and using NO slots... but still demanding to "use" slots from the gamecloud unless it is deleted.

So... the way this other service works (and I blocked out their name and info in my pics because I am NOT promoting another service...) is they allow you to switch between ANY game they offer at any time on the same cloud.

So i have a 10 slot cloud with them since they are the sole host of the game I wanted to play... and on that same 10 slots I can add as many other games as I want and switch between them just by clicking stop on one server and start on a different one.

This even allows for me to swap between different mod packs for the same game, and swap from PvP to PvE... and it keeps the worlds, stuff you have built, your character progression, everything separate so when you switch you go back to the other server no different than if you had just restarted the server. They also check for mod updates on startup so I don't have to manually update the mods via FTP every time they are updated.

So I am HOPING there is a way to swap between games on my GPortal cloud that I have just been missing out on for all these years... but I cannot find a way to do it.

If there is not a way to do it then maybe it is something that should be considered?

This other hosting provider is the same price as GPortal but the flexibility is a million times greater at the moment... unless I am just dumb and could have been doing this on GPortal the entire time?

Thanks!

According from slot useage, its full and cannot add another game on this cloud, except you reduce it

I am aware. But if I turn one server OFF then only 10 slots would be in use.

That was my point.

If I want to play another game I have to download all of the save files for the server I am putting on pause and then recreate the entire server if I want to play it again in the future.

The other screenshot is just a single 10 slot game cloud from the other company and I can just hit stop on one game and play on a new one and all of my settings are saved just like if I had hit stop on any server.

So I can play every game they host on ONE game cloud for the same price.

I can only actively use 10 slots at a time, but thats ok if everyone i play with is playing the same game.

I am just making sure this is t possible with gportal and I had just missed it somehow… but I guess not?

Thanks for the reply.
