Customizing Your Server (Name, Description, Header Image)

Rust · 2 views · Updated 10 hours ago
## What Players See in the Server Browser When players browse Rust servers, they see: - **Server Name** — The title of your server in the list - **Description** — Text shown when players click on your server - **Header Image** — A banner image at the top of your server's info page - **Server URL** — A clickable link (usually to your website or Discord) ## How to Request Changes You can change these yourself from the **Startup** tab in your game panel: - **Server Name:** Edit the server name field - **Description:** Edit the server description field - **Header Image:** Provide a direct URL to your image (recommended: 512x256 pixels, PNG or JPG) - **Server URL:** Enter a link to your website, Discord, or community page After making changes, restart your server for them to take effect. ## Tips for a Great Server Name - Keep it short and searchable — players use the search bar to find servers - Include key info players look for: region, wipe schedule, rates (e.g., "2x", "5x"), and server type (PvP, PvE) - Example: AgilaHost PH | 2x Modded | Weekly Wipe | Active Admin - Avoid excessive symbols or special characters — they can make your server harder to find ## Tips for Your Description - List your key features: gather rates, plugin list, rules, Discord link - Mention your wipe schedule so players know what to expect - Keep it organized — players scan quickly, so use short paragraphs
