Schedules
Wipe & schedule pages
Where wipe countdowns and map notes live on Rust and DayZ templates, what to change before every wipe, and how to avoid the classic “site still says Thursday” problem when Discord already moved on.
Read guideGuides for your community website
Short how-tos for the jobs that come up after launch — keep wipe notes honest, point Discord buttons at a real invite, wire a domain, and keep staff, rules and whitelist pages in sync with how you actually run. GameSignal is web hosting for the site players open in a browser, not game server hosting.

What you can fix yourself
Each guide assumes you have a template on GameSignal hosting (or a local copy). For the full edit workflow — VS Code, config.js, colours and images — start with Edit Templates.
Discord
Discord invite links
How js/config.js drives every Discord button on the site. Honest limits: invite URLs and join CTAs work out of the box; live member widgets need a server ID and Discord’s own settings — not magic embeds.
Domains
Connect your domain
High-level DNS for pointing a domain you already own at GameSignal hosting — A vs CNAME, what SSL covers, and when to open a ticket instead of guessing at registrar screenshots.
Read guideApplications
Whitelist & application pages
Editing Ashfall-style whitelist pages, what the demo form actually does, and sensible ways to send applicants into Discord tickets or application bots without overselling “form backend” features.
Read guideTeam
Staff & officer pages
Duplicating and pruning staff cards, roles that match how you moderate, and keeping the roster current when people step down so the site doesn’t look abandoned.
Read guidePolicy
Rules players will read
Rewriting template rules so they match your wipe cadence, raid policy and Discord appeals — shorter sections, clearer bans, fewer walls of text nobody scrolls past.
Read guideHow to use these guides
Pick the guide that matches the page you’re stuck on. Keep a local backup of your template folder, edit in VS Code, preview index.html in a browser, then upload via cPanel File Manager when you’re happy. The step-by-step for that loop lives on Edit Templates.
If you’d rather not touch files, Managed plans can apply branding and common page updates for you — start from Hosting or Contact.
Hosting vs game servers
GameSignal hosts the website: home, rules, staff, Discord join links, wipe notes, whitelist copy. Your Rust, DayZ or Minecraft game server stays with whatever provider you already use. The site tells players where to connect; it does not replace the game host. That split is also covered in the FAQ.
