# Basic help

These guides apply to any game server on Vaelix. Start here for the control panel, file transfers, networking, and performance basics.

- [Connecting to Your Server via sFTP](/basic-help/connecting-via-sftp): set up an sFTP client and move large files without the browser file manager.
- [Migrating Your World to Vaelix](/basic-help/migrating-your-world-to-vaelix): what to back up from your old server and how to get it onto your new one.
- [Custom Domains and SRV Records Explained](/basic-help/custom-domains-and-srv-records): point play.yourdomain.com at your server instead of a raw IP.
- [Networking: Ports, Query, and RCON Explained](/basic-help/networking-ports-and-rcon): what the Network tab shows and how to fix RCON errors.
- [Understanding TPS and Server Lag](/basic-help/understanding-tps-and-lag): tell a hardware problem from a configuration problem.
