03Game server panel
Show your server – Discord status, banner and server page
Show your Nexthosting game server for free in Discord, as a status banner, on a server page of your own and in the community list.
In short
Four free ways to make your server known: a live status message in Discord, a status banner for your website and forum, a server page of your own at server-XXXX.nexthosting.app and an entry in the community list on nexthosting.net. You switch each feature on individually and can switch it off again at any time.
On the overview you find all four ways in the “Zeig deinen Server” (show your server) box.
- Zeig deinen Server with live status in Discord, status banner, server page of your own and entry in the community list – each with Einrichten (“set up”)
- Server-Seite (server page) in the sidebar

An image with server name, status and player count that you can embed anywhere – on your website, in the forum or in the Steam group. It updates every minute.

Section titled “Your own server page”With Server-Seite (server page) you build a small web page of your own for your server – without web space and without programming. It lives at an address like server-1234.nexthosting.app (your four-digit ID).
On the left you put the page together, on the right you see straight away how it looks.
