Help CenterHere's a quick guide on how to update your Minecraft Bedrock Server version on SimpleGameHosting.
Access your SimpleGameHosting Control Panel
In order to update your Minecraft Bedrock Server version, you will need to access the server’s control panel.
Step 1: Creating a Backup
1. Once logged in and on the Console tab of your servers control panel, click the Stop button and to turn the server offline.
2. Once the server is offline, go the Backups tab in the menu bar.
3. At the bottom of the Backups page, click the Create Backup button.
⚠️Heads Up: If you do not see a "Create Backup" button, it is because you have 10 backups currently, which is the maximum allowed. To fix this, click the three dots next to the oldest backup you no longer need, and click "Delete." Click "Delete" again on the pop-up that appears. You should now have the "Create Backup" button.
3. Name your backup to something you'll remember and select the Lock option to ensure the Backup does not get accidently deleted. Now hit Start Backup. Your server backup will then be created. This can take some time depending on the size of your server.
