Change Your Server Location

General

Apr 14, 2025

Here at Shockbyte, you can choose the location where you want your server to be hosted from. Our available locations are North America, Europe, Asia, and Australia.

When choosing your server location, you want to pick the one that's geographically closest to you or your player base (where most of your players are located). You can use the latency shown in the region selection menu as a guideline, or refer to this guide to help you in picking the best location for you: Which server location should I choose?

If you did not select a preferred location when you placed your order, your server will be created in any of our available locations, usually North America or Europe. You may also have just picked the wrong location which doesn't appear to be the best location for your player base. With Shockbyte, you have the option to change your server location anytime to any of our available locations. Simply follow the instructions provided below:

Important

Changing your server location will cause for your server address (IP and port) to change.

Transferring a server

You can easily transfer your server via the Shockbyte Panel.

1:

Open your server's control panel.

2:

On the left-hand sidebar, click 'My Plan'.

3:

Under Location, select Transfer.

4:

Select the location you want to transfer your server to, confirm that you are okay with your server's IP being changed, and initiate the transfer by clicking Transfer.

5:

Confirm that your IP address will change, and you will be unable to use your server. Click on Continue.

6:

Wait for your server to be transferred. The duration of the transfer depends on the size of your server.

That's it! You and your players can now enjoy a better connection to your newly relocated server!
