To ensure your server is discoverable, you must first verify its status and basic identity settings.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 2: Stop the Server<\/h3>\n<p>If your server is currently running, click the red <strong>Stop<\/strong> button. Changing the server name while the server is online may prevent the &#8220;Digital Consensus&#8221; (the heartbeat sent to the master list) from updating correctly.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"107\" src=\"https:\/\/ggservers.com\/knowledgebase\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/image-45-1024x107.png\" alt=\"Hurtworld Server Panel Controls\" class=\"wp-image-18623\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ggservers.com\/knowledgebase\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/image-45-1024x107.png 1024w, https:\/\/ggservers.com\/knowledgebase\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/image-45-300x31.png 300w, https:\/\/ggservers.com\/knowledgebase\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/image-45-768x80.png 768w, https:\/\/ggservers.com\/knowledgebase\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/image-45-50x5.png 50w, https:\/\/ggservers.com\/knowledgebase\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/image-45-60x6.png 60w, https:\/\/ggservers.com\/knowledgebase\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/image-45-100x10.png 100w, https:\/\/ggservers.com\/knowledgebase\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/image-45.png 1216w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 3: Navigate to Server Settings<\/h3>\n<p>On the left-hand menu, select <strong>Server Settings<\/strong>.
