# Portal And Server
|
|
|
|
|
|
Evennia consists of two processes, known as *Portal* and *Server*. They can be controlled from
|
|
inside the game or from the command line as described [here](../Setup/Start-Stop-Reload.md).
|
|
|
|
If you are new to the concept, the main purpose of separating the two is to have accounts connect to
|
|
the Portal but keep the MUD running on the Server. This way one can restart/reload the game (the
|
|
Server part) without Accounts getting disconnected.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The Server and Portal are glued together via an AMP (Asynchronous Messaging Protocol) connection.
|
|
This allows the two programs to communicate seamlessly. |
