This guide will walk you through the steps needed to connect to your Minecraft server hosted by SimpleGameHosting. In order to join your server, we will need to get the IP address from the server control panel.
Logging Into the SimpleGameHosting Control Panel
When you purchase a server, you will receive an email with the subject “Account Created.” This email contains a button labeled “Setup Your Account.” Click this button to open the SimpleGameHosting control panel.
- You will be prompted to create and confirm a password. Once completed, you will be logged in.
- If you have already set a password, you will be taken directly to a page where you can select your server.

Getting Your Server’s IP Address
1. Once logged into the control panel, click "Manage Server" button on your server from the list.
2. You will be directed to the server's Console page.
3. At the top of the page, you will see a string of numbers in this format: 192.189.17.45:29519. These numbers will be unique to your server. This is your IP address.
4. Click the IP address to copy it to your clipboard.
Joining Your Minecraft Server
Now that you have your server's IP address, open the Minecraft Java Edition launcher and follow these steps:
1. From the main menu, click Multiplayer, then select Add Server at the bottom of the screen.
2. In the Server Name field, enter any name you like. In the Server Address field, paste the IP address you copied from the control panel.
3. Click Done to save the server to your list.
4. Click the Join Server button to join the server!
💡 Tip: If you are having trouble connecting, try using the Direct Connect button instead of adding the server permanently.
