# Starting/Restarting/Stopping your server

To start/restart/stop your server first click on your minecraft server in the sidebar. This will take you to the Console page of the instance you selected. You can find a guide on finding your instance here [https://www.creeperhost.net/wiki/books/minecraft-java-edition/page/finding-your-instances](https://www.creeperhost.net/wiki/books/minecraft-java-edition/page/finding-your-instances)

In the top right of the Console page there are 3 buttons in green, orange and red. The green button will start the instance if it is stopped, the orange is to restart the instance, and the red will stop the instance.
