Go to blazesites.net and click Start for Free. Sign in with Discord — no credit card required on the free plan.

Once logged in, you'll land on the Setup Wizard. Follow the steps below.


Step 2 — Name your site

Enter your community name and choose a subdomain:

You can connect a custom domain later from Settings → Domain.


Step 3 — Choose a template

  3. Add the following to your server.cfg:
