Promote and advertise

2 min read

Listing your server is free. For more visibility you can buy a paid placement for a few days with a one-time payment. Placements never change your rank or votes: they are shown apart from the ranked list and are always labelled “Sponsored” or “Ad”. Current prices and lengths are on the Advertise page.

What you can buy

Home page spot: your server above #1 on the home page, with a gold frame and a “Sponsored” label. Only a few servers at a time, shown in random order.
Banner ad: your 468×60 banner between the rows of the home page and every game mode, version and language page, labelled “Ad”. Animated GIFs work. You need a banner on your listing first.
Game mode spot: your server on top of one game mode page, such as Survival or Skyblock. You choose from the game modes your server is listed in.

The Pro plan is bought the same way, from its own tab.

How to buy

Your server must be approved and live in the list.
Open My servers and press Promote on your server.
Choose a product tab. For a game mode spot, pick the Game mode page.
If more than one payment method is offered, choose one under How do you want to pay?
Pick a length and press Buy now. You see the price before you pay.

How payment works

You pay once. There is no subscription and nothing renews by itself. The methods on the Promote page depend on what is available and can include card, PayPal, Apple Pay or Google Pay, and bank transfer. Card payments are handled by our payment partner; we never see your card details. Prices are shown in one currency, and your bank may convert them.

After paying you come back to the Promote page, which waits for the payment to be confirmed and refreshes by itself. For a bank transfer, send the amount with the reference code in the description and press I have sent the money. Your spot starts once we see the money, usually within a few hours. Read paying by bank transfer for the details.

While it runs

The spot starts as soon as the payment is confirmed and ends by itself. The Promote page shows when it ends (UTC).
Buying again while a spot is running adds the days on top.
If all spots are taken, the page shows when the next one frees up.
Your recent orders and their status are listed under Orders.

Refunds

Ask within 48 hours of buying and you get your money back in full. After that, unused full days can be refunded if you stop early. Placements for servers that break the rules can be ended, with a refund for the unused days. See the Refund Policy.
