Verify a Server You Own

Prove a server is yours by putting a code in its hostname or a server variable, then add a description and a website or Discord link.

To prove a server is yours, open My SoF2 and, in “Own a server?”, enter the server’s address and press “Get my code”. Put the code in the server’s hostname or in any server variable, such as sv_keywords, and leave it there until the server shows as verified. Then you can add a description and a website or Discord link, and the server gets the ✔ verified mark.

Step by step

  1. Sign in and verify your name. The “Own a server?” card is on your hub, which opens once you’ve verified your in-game name.
  2. Enter the address. In “Own a server?” on My SoF2, type the address and port exactly as the server list shows it, for example 1.2.3.4:20100, and press “Get my code”.
  3. Add the code to your server. Put the code, which looks like SOF2MP-AB12CD34, in the hostname or in any server variable. The simplest is to add it to sv_keywords in your server config or the server console, for example sets sv_keywords "SOF2MP-AB12CD34".
  4. Wait for the next check. The site reads every server’s public settings every 2 minutes. When it sees the code, your claim shows as verified on My SoF2.
  5. Take the code out. Once verified you can remove it from your server.

The code is valid for 48 hours. Codes are never shown anywhere public: they’re removed from hostnames and server settings before anything is displayed.

After verifying

  • Description and link: back in “Own a server?” on My SoF2, each of your servers has a Description (up to 600 characters) and a “Website / Discord link”. They show on the server’s page under “From the server owner”.
  • Verified mark: the server’s page says “Verified server”, it’s listed under Verified servers, and it shows when the server list’s “Verified only” filter is on.
  • Clan servers: if you own a clan, you can show your verified servers on the clan’s page. See Running your clan.

Questions

It says “We don’t know that server yet”

The address must match one on our list exactly, including the port. If your server isn’t listed at all, see My server isn’t on the list.

How many servers can I verify?

There’s no limit on servers, but codes for names and servers together are limited to 5 in 24 hours.

Can I put the code in the hostname instead?

Yes. Any public server variable works, including the hostname. Players never see the code on our site.
