# Getting Started

This guide provides a step-by-step tutorial on how to get started with DanBot Hosting (DBH). These instructions are mirrored from the #📗╏getting-started channel in our Discord Server.

# Step 1: Join the Discord Server

Joining the Discord server is essential because your panel account is managed via the @DanBot Hosting bot.

# Step 2: Create your Panel Account

Head over to the #⌛╏commands channel and run the following command:

DBH!user new

The bot will create a private channel for you. Follow the instructions provided in that channel to finish setting up your account.

# Step 3: Link your Account

To ensure your Discord account and Panel account are synchronized, run:

DBH!user link

Follow the bot's instructions to complete the linking process.

# Step 4: Create your First Server

You can create your first server directly through the bot before logging into the Web Panel.

1. View available server types: DBH!server create list

2. Create the server: DBH!create server <type> <name>

Note:

You can leave the server name blank if you haven't decided yet! You can change it later in the Settings tab on the panel.

# Managing your Server

# Deleting a Server

If you need to remove a server, use the following command:

DBH!server delete <server_id>

# How to find your Server ID

There are three ways to locate your unique Server ID:

The Panel: Go to the server's Settings tab in the DBH Panel.
Discord Command: Type DBH!server list to view all your servers and their IDs.
The URL: Look at your browser address bar when viewing a server: panel.danbot.host/server/2c84d848 (The last part is the ID).
