In this post, we will lead you through the process of building a new panel on Kocheng Hosting and deploying a WhatsApp bot using the Pterodactyl panel.

Step 1: Register an Account

Go to the Kocheng Hosting homepage and register for a free account.

Step 2: Navigate to the Bot Server Menu

Click the menu icon (three lines at the top-left) once you're inside the dashboard. Next, choose Bot Server. Two choices will appear to you: Create through Telegram or a website. We'll stick with the website approach for this article. If you wish to use Telegram to set up your server.

Step 3: Follow the Ad-Supported Setup

You'll be taken to an advertisement page. Just adhere to the given instructions.

The button will then change to "Create Server Now." To continue, click it.

Step 4: Get Your Server Credentials

Your server will be set up automatically. The server information, including the email address, password, and panel URL for the Pterodactyl dashboard, will then be displayed.

Step 5: Log in to the Pterodactyl Panel

Use the login credentials shown in your account details to access the panel URL that has been provided.

Step 6: Upload Your Bot Script

Choose your server once you're inside the panel. Next, upload your bot script (such as a ZIP file) to the Files section.

Step 7: Extract Your Script Files

Once the upload is complete, click the three-dot menu beside the ZIP file and choose Unarchive. The contents will be extracted into a folder.

Step 8: Move Script Files

Open the folder containing the extracted script, use the checkbox in the upper-left corner to select every file, and click Move. Set the destination to ../ to place all the files in the main directory.

Step 9: Start the Bot

Open the Console tab and click Start. The system will install the required dependencies and launch your WhatsApp bot.

Congratulations! Your panel has been created successfully, and your WhatsApp bot is now deployed on Kocheng Hosting.
