Migrating to Horizon

How to move your server from another hosting provider to Horizon Hosting.

Download server data

You will need to download any important data from your old provider.

We have provided a list of common places for data to be stored (this is not exhaustive):

  • ShooterGame/Saved/ (contains your world save, tribe data, player profiles, and cluster data)
  • ShooterGame/Saved/Config/LinuxServer/GameUserSettings.ini
  • ShooterGame/Saved/Config/LinuxServer/Game.ini

Matching map

Your save data is tied to the map it was generated on. Make sure your new service is set to the same Server Map before uploading, otherwise your world won't load correctly.

Save any server panel configurations

We recommend you save any configuration made on the panel. These could be any of the following:

  • Server Name, Server Password & Admin Password
  • Server Map
  • Max Players
  • Query Port & RCON Port
  • Battle Eye & Additional Arguments

Transfer / Upload

Top Tip

When migrating your service, remember to update any credentials specific to your old provider (such as your Admin Password) to avoid unexpected issues.

Using a tool like SFTP or the game panel file manager, re-upload all the downloaded files. At this time, also set any configuration you stored from the old panel.
