Elevated docs

Everything you need to run an Elevated VPS or game server: ordering, billing, access, the control panel, backups and support.

Start here

Your account. One SudoSecurity account signs you in to the client area, the game panel, Forums and the blog. Manage your password, two-factor authentication and signed-in devices at sudosecurity.org/account.
Ordering. Pick a plan or game on Get started, then pay the first invoice. Game servers build automatically once it's paid. See Getting started.
Billing. Monthly billing with no contract: invoices and PDFs, account credit, coupons, auto-pay, upgrades, refunds and cancellations are covered in Billing & invoices.
Account security. Linking your panel account and protecting your login: Account & security.

Elevated Core and Elevated Managed servers are provisioned by an engineer rather than a script. Once your first invoice is paid:

We build the server on your chosen distribution and harden it against the same checks the Hardline CLI audits.
Your access details and day-one hardening score appear on the service in the client area. You get full root access.
You can re-run the audit yourself any time with Hardline: hardline audit. See the Hardline docs and the full control list.
Managed plans also get patching, monitoring, backups and a monthly drift report: what changed, what slipped, and what we fixed. Details on Managed.
Elevated Architect is quoted per project: multi-node, high availability and compliance mapping. Start from your client area.

Control panel basics: console, file manager, SFTP, databases, backups, scheduled tasks, subusers and resource limits.
Minecraft server guide: server types, versions, server.properties, whitelists, ops, plugins and performance.
Installing modpacks: Forge, NeoForge and Fabric packs from CurseForge or Modrinth, and custom packs over SFTP.
Per-game sizing and setup notes: Minecraft, Modded Minecraft, Rust, Palworld, FiveM, CS2.
The game panel lives at panel.sudosecurity.org. Use Sign in with SudoSecurity there.

Check your own servers before or after you move them to us: security headers, TLS certificates, SSH server settings, sshd_config and a CSP builder.

Support: open a ticket from the client area. Managed tickets go straight to an engineer.
Status: live uptime for every service at sudosecurity.org/status.
Security issues: report them on our vulnerability disclosure page.
What's new: see the Elevated changelog.
Policies: Terms, Acceptable use, Refunds, Privacy.
