We normally update our servers right after Mojang releases a new update, if you are using default Minecraft you should just need to restart your server for it to take affect. If that doesn't work please open a ticket and we can help assist you as soon as possible.
Normally updates for Spigot/Craftbukkit take a week or so for their updates, however once they are updated we will add a new file onto the drop down menu for the latest version example "Mod: Spigot 1.9".
Sure!

Go to https://minecraftserver.net/panel (Don't log in)

Create an account for that user you want.

Once done this log into your account then click users, after that type in the users name you want to have control and give them the access you wish for them to have.

Please note that we don't suggest giving everyone control to your server unless you trust them as they could delete all of your files if you give them that access.

A dedicated IP is an IP that is reserved for only one server without a need to have a port at the end of the IP. Example Dedicated IP = 162.249.170.15 Non Dedicated IP = 162.249.170.15:25594 With either option we can setup a custom.mcho.us domain for you!

By default our servers do not take backups you will need to create a task in the control panel to take backups for you, we suggest having this setup every 24-48 hours and to take off site backups just to be extra safe.
We currently have a few options, PayPal, All major credit cards via Stripe, and PayPal - Manual. Our PayPal option requires you to have a backup method such as a bank accoutn or Credit card on file with PayPal, if you don't have this you can use the PayPal - Manual option.
