Your server
In the Dashboard of the server management panel, select Console. Click the Start button on the right side.
Since nothing else has been modified first, this launches a server with default settings. Give the console a minute to load. Meanwhile, launch the Vintage Story game the usual way. In the main menu, select Multiplayer and click the Add New Server button
Give the server a name; it doesn't matter what. For the Host / IP Address, go back to the console and look for Address a little below the Start/Stop buttons. Clicking the Address field will copy "vs.suhosting.net:" along with 5 digits that identify the port to your specific server. Back in the Vintage Story menu, paste (with Ctrl+V) all of that into the Host field. You can create a password or leave it blank. Click the Create button to add this server configuration in your list of Multiplayer worlds. Click on it to load in as a player.
When you're done playing, you can leave the server running, or use the Stop button in the console tab of the server management panel.
