Your Branded Portal
Every page served from your own domain — ban list, player lookup, appeals, and staff management.

How It Works
Three steps from sign-up to a live branded moderation portal.
Register Your Server
Create a free account and add your Hytale server. You'll receive an API key and instant access to the shared ban database.

Custom domains are free for every registered server. Head to your server's Settings tab and add the domain you want to use for your moderation portal.
Go to dashboard →Configure DNS & Go Live
Add a CNAME record pointing to appeals.hytalebanlist.org and a TXT record for domain verification. Once DNS propagates, click Verify — your portal is live.
View DNS setup →Everything in the Box
A fully managed moderation portal with your branding on top.
Your Own Domain
Players visit bans.yourserver.com — no Hytale Ban List branding in the URL. Your server, your identity.
Full Ban List
Your server's complete, paginated ban history at your custom domain. Players see every ban with reason, date, and status.
Player Lookup
Players search by username to find their own ban record. Straight to their specific ban — no scrolling.
Built-In Appeals
Appeal forms served from your domain. Players submit evidence; you approve or deny. Changes sync instantly.
Full Customisation
Custom title, logo, brand colour, and support link. Your portal, your style.
DNS-Verified Security
Domain ownership confirmed via TXT record before going live. No one can spoof your subdomain.
Common Questions
- Do I need technical knowledge to set this up?
- Just basic DNS access at your domain registrar. If you can add a CNAME record, you can set this up. Most registrars (Cloudflare, Namecheap, GoDaddy) make it a 2-minute job.
- How long does DNS verification take?
- DNS changes can take a few minutes to 48 hours globally, though most providers update within 15–30 minutes. Once propagated, hit "Verify DNS" in your dashboard and you're live.
- What pages does the portal include?
- Three pages out of the box: a paginated ban list at the root, a player lookup at /search, and a ban appeal form at /appeal/:banId. Staff can log in at /login to manage appeals from your domain.
- Can I use a root domain instead of a subdomain?
- We recommend a subdomain (e.g. bans.yourserver.com) since root domains can't use CNAME records. Any subdomain works — bans., appeals., moderation., whatever fits.
- Are custom domains free?
- Yes. Hytale Ban List is fully free for every registered server. Donations through Ko-Fi keep the project running.
- Can I white-label the branding completely?
- Yes. Custom title, logo, primary colour, and optionally hide the "Powered by Hytale Ban List" footer. The URL is already fully yours.
