About Websites & Templates
Most servers outgrow a Discord channel and a pinned message. A website gives players a stable place for rules, news, a player-facing status page, a store and an account system, and gives you analytics on who visits.
Content management systems built for game servers connect to the game through a plugin or API so the site knows who players are. Choose one that matches how much you want to self-host: a self-hosted system gives you control and the maintenance that comes with it, while a hosted service handles uptime for a fee.
Whatever you choose, think through payments and personal data before you launch a store. You are responsible for what the site collects, so read the software's documentation on data storage and update it as security fixes ship.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need my own web hosting? Self-hosted software does: a web host or a server that can run PHP or the software's stack. Hosted services run it for you.
