Dedicated server map world swapping

I just got my first dedicated server from a provider. I'm hoping to be able to swap between a "Twitch streamed" world, and another world that can be used the rest of the time. In this fashion the world being streamed isn't being live and being affected when the streams aren't live. I can't seem to find any obvious configuration files that allow me to swap between 2 different worlds sitting in the 'Saves' folder. Is this possible?

 
If you're renting, this really isn't feasible. You would need two servers.

If you're hosting on a local machine, or a machine you have control over, you would simply make two separate batch files to use two different configs.

 
Why isn't this feasible with renting? I have full access to the file system that the game is installed in. I don't see it being significantly different from a local server in that way.

 
Well, you'll need to manually swap the config files out every time you start it. Most renters don't allow you to edit the startup command to use different configs. They also lock in the save path, so your maps will need to have different seeds so they will use different folders.

In the end, it's potentially a huge hassle depending on who your provider is, and how much access you have to make changes.

 
Yes. Basically every time you want to change saves, you will swap out the world generation section config.
