Launching a Hytale server is an incredible feat, but the real challenge begins once the gates are open: getting players through the door. In a crowded marketplace, organic growth can be slow. That's why we've developed a transparent promotion system designed to put your project in front of the people who matter most: the players.
Why Promote Your Server?
The "if you build it, they will come" mentality rarely works in the competitive world of gaming. By opting for a featured slot on our platform, you aren't just buying a link; you're buying guaranteed visibility.
When you advertise with us, your server moves from the back pages directly to the front line. This means:
- Targeted Exposure: You reach players specifically looking for a new Hytale home.
- Credibility: Being featured at the top of our lists establishes your server as a serious, active project.
- Sustained Growth: A sudden influx of players helps build the "critical mass" needed for a healthy, self-sustaining community.
What Does "Featured" Actually Mean?
If you win a promotion slot, your server won't just be "somewhere on the site." It will be pinned to the very top of our most-trafficked lists. Specifically, your server will hold a prime position on:
- Popularity Lists: You will outrank even the highest vote-count servers for the duration of your promotion.
- Category Lists: Whether you run a creative building hub or a hardcore PvP realm, you'll appear at the top of the specific categories that match your tags.
- Country Lists: People searching for a more local server will see your server first on the top of your server countries list.
The How: A Fair Auction System
We believe in a level playing field. Instead of fixed, "behind-the-scenes" pricing, we use a monthly auction system. This ensures that the market determines the value and every server owner has a fair shot at the top spot.
Here is how it works: Once a month, we open bidding for a limited number of featured slots. The highest bidders secure the top positions.
Example: If we are auctioning 3 promotion slots:
- Server A bids $200
- Server B bids $150
- Server C bids $100
Server A takes the #1 spot, Server B takes #2, and Server C takes #3.
How to Get Started
To maintain the quality of our featured list, the auction system is currently invite-only. To request access, please send an email to support@hytale-servers.pro.
To speed up the process, please include the following (you can find these details on your server's dashboard):
- Server URL: Your specific server link on Hytale-Servers.pro.
- Business Info: Let us know if the server is registered under a formal company.
- Location: The country where the server or owner is based.
A Note on Fairness (ToS)
We are committed to keeping this system simple and fair for everyone. Before participating, we ask all owners to thoroughly review our Auction Terms of Service. These rules ensure that the bidding process remains transparent and that the community's trust is never compromised.
