# Public Server Hosting Guide

Understanding how public servers operate is essential for maintaining order and delivering high-quality roleplay across the Courtroom ecosystem.

***

## Public Server Usage Policy

Public servers are strictly regulated to ensure structured, fair, and immersive experiences for all participants.

<Note>
  **Core Policy:**<br />Public servers are reserved **exclusively** for sessions hosted by official **Partner Community Leads**. These leads are verified staff members from our partnered roleplay communities who utilize Courtroom for public events.
</Note>

If you wish to host your own private sessions, custom matches, or group roleplays without partner status, please utilize our **Free Private Servers**. The experience is currently **fully optimized for private servers**, offering you complete admin control and customization options.

## Community Partnership & Access

We welcome communities of all sizes to enjoy Courtroom! Here is how you can host based on your community size:

### Small & Growing Communities

If you represent a small group or a growing roleplay server, we encourage you to use our **Free Private Servers**. They offer the exact same core mechanics along with custom admin features to tailor your sessions without public disruption.

### Large Communities & Official Partners

If you manage a large, established roleplay community and wish to host official sessions on our **Public Servers**, you can apply for a partnership.
