Claiming Your Server and Setting Up Its Page

Verify ownership with a hostname token, then add a description, tags, country, banner, Discord, TeamSpeak and website.

Updated · 1 min read · by the AACGUARD team

Any server on the list can be claimed by its real owner. Claiming gives you a Server manager on the server's page where you can describe your community and link your Discord and TeamSpeak.

Animated example with made-up names and numbers.

Step 1: Start the claim

  1. Sign in with Steam on aacguard.com.
  2. Open the server list and choose Add server (or Claim this server on an unclaimed server's page).
  3. Pick the game and enter your server's address, for example 203.0.113.5:27015 or play.example.ro.

AACGUARD queries the server to make sure it is online and is the game you chose.

Step 2: Prove you own it

You get a short verification token. Add it anywhere in your server's hostname (the name shown in the server browser), restart the map or change the hostname with your server console, and press Verify. Only someone with access to the server can change its name, which proves ownership. After verification you can remove the token again.

If you move hosts or think someone else knows your token, generate a new one from the Server manager.

Step 3: Set up the page

  • Country (shown with a flag), a short description under the name, and up to 6 tags such as Public, Deathmatch or Surf. Tags are searchable in the list.
  • About this server: rules, modes and events (up to 500 characters).
  • Banner: PNG, JPG, WebP or animated GIF, up to 5 MB, at least 468×60 and at least twice as wide as tall. Images are checked and stored by AACGUARD.
  • Website, Discord invite (the page shows your Discord's members and members online) and TeamSpeak address with Copy and Connect buttons. If your TeamSpeak query port is open, the page also shows how many users are online.
  • Animated themes for your server page are available with PRO.

Content must follow the server list rules: no hateful, sexual or misleading banners, and no links to cheats.
