Managed SCUM Hosting: from order to play
What happens after ordering hosting, how to read the progress of the preparation and what to check before opening the server to players.
On this page
Managed SCUM Hosting is a complete SCUM server running on Nodera infrastructure. It includes NODERAgent, NODERA-RCON and access to customer administration. You do not need to manually install SteamCMD, prepare Windows tasks or open RCON to the Internet.
What comes after the order
- The payment service will authoritatively confirm the payment of the order.
- Nodera will assign a license to your account and verify available capacity.
- The Control Panel starts the provisioning of an isolated server.
- The host will install SCUM, NODERAgent and server settings.
- The first start will take place, setting the name and the purchased number of slots.
- Only a complete check of the process, agent and local NODERA-RCON will change the status to Ready.
The return from the payment gateway in itself is not a confirmation of payment. If the status does not change immediately, do not create a second order.
How to read the progress in the Control Panel
| Status or step | What is happening | What should the customer do |
|---|---|---|
| Pending / queued | service waiting for confirmation or free capacity | wait and track original order |
| Allocation and download | reserve isolated space and install SCUM | do not create a duplicate server |
| Installing agent | preparing licensed NODERAgent | wait for next step |
| Configuration and start | name, slots and first launch are set | don't open the server to players yet |
| Health check | verifying the process, all parts of the agent and NODERA-RCON | the server may not be ready from outside yet |
| Ready | local installation and customer management passed inspection | test connection and complete content settings |
| Failed | automation does not have a safe unequivocal result | contact support, do not duplicate |
| Suspended | service is suspended, ownership remains | check subscription or reason for suspension |
What to do after Ready status
- In SCUM Control Panel check the name and number of slots.
- Test the connection from the SCUM client and the visibility of the server in the game browser.
- Open server administration via Admin login.
- Check the selection of the correct server in the header.
- Set the rules, notifications, and modules you want to use.
- Do one full test of connection and basic actions before inviting players.
What does isolation mean
Each managed server has a separate instance, its own license, NODERAgent and assigned network services. The operation above your server should not control another customer or internal SCUM server. Internal hardware limits and login secrets are not displayed to the customer.
Backups, Suspension and Removal
Operational backup is a separate operation and may require a short service window depending on the type. Suspend stops the target service but maintains its business binding. Complete removal of a server instance is destructive and should only be done by approved procedure; order and license history remains recorded.
Current example
As of 1 September 2026, the control database registered one active hosting node and one customer-managed instance in the Ready state. The Ready state was created only after confirming all 12 parts of NODERAgent and the local NODERA-RCON, not only after the first launch of the game.
When preparation stops
Wait for the final status and refresh the Control Panel. For Failed, create a ticket with the name of the service, the approximate time, and the safe error code displayed. Do not send IP address, token, one-time installation file, configuration or password.
