# Creating a Server

Fill out these fields when submitting a new server:

* **Name** - The name players will see everywhere: search results, the listing page, vote confirmations. Keep it recognizable and skip the special characters that might break formatting.
* **IP** - Your server's IP address or domain. This is what actually connects players, so double-check it before submitting. A wrong IP means players bounce off a dead connection and probably don't come back.
* **Port** - The port your server listens on. Most games have a standard default (25565 for Minecraft, for example), but if you've changed it, list the real one here.
* **Description** - Tell players what your server actually is. Game mode, rules, community vibe, whatever sets you apart. This is prime real estate — a vague one-liner gets skipped over.
* **Website** - Link to your server's website if you have one. Optional, but it gives players somewhere to go for rules, forums, or a store before they even connect.
* **Discord** - Your Discord invite link. A lot of players check this before joining a server for the first time - it's often the deciding factor.
* **Version** - The game version your server runs. Players filter by this, so an inaccurate version means you might get connection attempts from people who can't actually join.
* **Banner** - An image displayed at the top of your listing. Recommended size and format are shown on the upload form. This is usually the first thing players notice, so make it count.
* **Logo** - A smaller square image used as your server's icon across the site, search results, favorites lists, that kind of thing.
* **Tags** - Keywords that describe your server (survival, hardcore, roleplay, factions, and so on). Tags are how players filter search results, so pick ones that actually match what you're running. Mislabeling to game the search just gets you filtered out by frustrated players instead.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://wiki.gamesfinder.cc/server-owners/creating-a-server.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
