This guide will walk you through the process step by step so you can activate the automatic update feature directly from your GGServers control panel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>First, open your web browser and go to <a href=\"https:\/\/panel.ggservers.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/panel.ggservers.com<\/a>. Log in with your account credentials, then <strong>stop your server<\/strong> before making any changes.
