## 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
