Nitrado Server Boost for Xbox

Running a thriving multiplayer world requires time, effort, and sometimes a little help from your community. Giving players a secure, direct way to contribute ensures your shared adventure never has to stop. In this Nitrado guide, we will walk you through Server Boosting, an essential feature that allows your community to easily fund and extend your Xbox server’s lifespan directly through the Nitrado Microsoft Store app. If your server is hosted directly on our website rather than the app, you can achieve this same community support by checking out our guide on using the Donations system instead.

What is Server Boosting?

As a server owner, you can easily extend your Xbox server’s runtime directly through the Nitrado app at any time. However, when your community wants to pitch in and help keep the world running, they need a secure and straightforward way to do so. Server Boosting provides exactly that. It is a built-in feature that allows any player to directly purchase additional runtime for your server by using a specific “Boost Code” that you generate. By enabling this feature, you allow your players to actively support the community, ensuring your server remains online without you having to carry the entire hosting responsibility alone.

Requirements for Boosting

To utilize the Server Boosting feature, both server owners and contributing players must meet a few basic requirements before proceeding:

• A registered Nitrado account.
• The Nitrado app installed from the Microsoft Store, available on both Xbox consoles and Windows 10 PCs.

How to Enable Server Boosting (For Server Owners)

As a server owner, you have full control over whether your community can boost your server. Enabling this feature is required to generate the unique code you will share with your players.

Generating a Boost Code

1. Open the Nitrado app and log into your account.
2. Navigate to My servers > [Your Target Server] to open your server’s configuration panel.
   
3. Locate and click on the Server Boost section.
   
4. Enable Server Boost and configure your Welcome Message and Thank You Message. A well-crafted message helps players feel appreciated for their contribution to your world.
   

   You can see a list of contributions in the Boost History section.

5. Copy your server’s Boost Code displayed on your screen. This is the exact code you need to send to players who want to boost your server.
6. Select Save and Close at the bottom of the page to lock in your changes and finish the setup.
7. Verify that the Server Boost status now correctly displays as “Enabled” on your panel.

💡 Pro Tip: Pin your Boost Code and a link to the Nitrado App in your community Discord or Xbox Club so players always know exactly how to find it when they want to contribute.

How to Boost a Server (For Players)

If you are a player looking to support your favorite Nitrado Xbox Server, redeeming a Boost Code is a quick and straightforward process that directly benefits the whole community.

Redeeming a Boost Code

1. Open the Nitrado app and log into your account.
2. Navigate to Boost a Server on the left-hand side of the app interface.
   
3. Enter the specific Boost Code provided by the server owner into the designated text field. By doing this, you’ll open a new window with extension options.
   
4. Make your choice, follow the remaining on-screen prompts to complete the transaction and successfully extend the server’s life.
