When acquiring a server through our ticket system or contact form, applicants undergo a thorough screening process. This screening involves a background check on both the individual and their community to ensure they align with our mission and values. Since we provide these servers at no cost, it is crucial for us to select the right candidates who share our goals of fostering positive and impactful communities. Applicants should also be aware that we reserve the right to terminate the service if our Acceptable Use Policy (AUP) is violated or if a medium to high-level staff member deems it necessary due to a change in goals or circumstances. (users will be given our AUP and Privacy Policy,)
Now that we’ve covered the essentials, let’s dive into the exciting part! Our community servers are among our most powerful machines, and we’re eager to see them put to good use. To qualify for one, you’ll need to provide us with a few key details. Firstly, let us know your member count—this helps us gauge the scale of your community. Secondly, tell us what you plan to use the server for. Are you hosting a website, a game server, or something entirely unique? Thirdly, we’d love to hear how you plan to make the best use of the server.
Additionally, consider these questions: What are your community’s goals? How do you engage with your members? Do you have any plans for growth or special events that the server will support? How will having this server impact your community? We’re excited to learn more about your vision and how we can support you!
Community Milestone Requirements
To ensure fair and effective resource allocation, we’ve established different levels of milestones that communities must reach to qualify for varying levels of server resources. Here’s a breakdown of how it works:
Small Communities
- Member Count: 10-50 active members
- Server Specifications: 2 CPU cores, 4GB of RAM, 50GB of storage
- Requirements: Basic community engagement, clear usage plan, alignment with our goals
Medium Communities
- Member Count: 50-200 active members
- Server Specifications: 4 CPU cores, 8GB of RAM, 100GB of storage
- Requirements: Regular events or activities, demonstrated growth, positive impact on members
Large Communities
- Member Count: 200-500 active members
- Server Specifications: 6 CPU cores, 16GB of RAM, 200GB of storage
- Requirements: High engagement levels, strong community management, evidence of sustainable growth
Extra Large Communities
- Member Count: 500+ active members
- Server Specifications: 8 CPU cores, 32GB of RAM, 500GB of storage
- Requirements: Exceptional community involvement, innovative projects, significant impact and alignment with our mission
It is important to note that the final allocation of resources is at the discretion of our admins. They may adjust the specifications based on the specific needs of your server. For example, a resource-intensive application like FiveM may receive more cores, while a less demanding application like a Minecraft server may receive fewer resources. This ensures that each community gets the appropriate support for their unique requirements.
Lastly, we want to assure you that while we typically maintain a formal approach, we are all humans here and understand the process can seem daunting. If you request it, we can adjust to a more informal interaction to help ease any concerns. Rest assured, your application will be handled with care by our human team members. And don’t worry about Benedict—he’ll be kept far away from the server application tickets, no matter how many times we have to tell him! It’s all in good humor. We’re here to support you every step of the way on your journey to acquiring a server for your community.
