  8. In the Information tab of your application, find the Application ID and the master hostname and keep them for later use. (The master hostname is shown to the right of “Cluster 1”, in the Server Addresses area.) They are required to connect to your server from your game.

You can stop the server by checking the checkbox on the left end of the line for your server and clicking on Stop icon. Later, you can start it by Start icon. This way, you can stop your server when you don’t need it.
