The point of AffiliateDomain is to help your server gain more players by making your players advertise your server FOR you.

• Instant subdomain creation
• Command based reward system, trigger rewards containing money/items/anything you can get via. command
• Command based trigger system, trigger rewards when players join/donate/vote
• Extensive commands, including info about players and domains
• Fast async cloudflare calls, basically zero impact on server performance
• Language files, edit every message the plugin has to your own language if needed
• Plenty of upcoming features written in the discord, feel free to post others!

As server owners, we are usually spending a lot of our time advertising our server. Some server owners even pay youtubers or server list sites to advertise their server for them. AffiliateDomain encourages the players on your server to do the advertising, by letting you reward your players for sharing your server IP (or more correct, a domain that leads to your server).

I’ll explain the concept of the plugin by giving an example in four simple steps.

1. Player1 runs the command ‘/ad new player1’ in-game. Within seconds a subdomain is set up and can be used to join your server. The domain will be player1.example.org
2. Player1 shares the domain on his social media, spreading word about your server to the world.
3. Player2 uses the domain ‘player1.example.org’ that he got from Player1 to join your server
4. The plugin now rewards Player1 when Player2 joins/donates/ranks up (rewards and reward triggers are 100% customizable by you)

• An available domain
• 5 minutes of your time to complete setup

Registering on cloudflare: (If your domain is already registered on cloudflare, you can skip these steps)

1. Make an account on cloudflare. If you already have one, just log in.
2. In the top bar of cloudflare, press “Add site”

[dropdown=How to add a site to cloudflare]
Start off by clicking "Add site" in the top right corner of cloudflare.

Type the the name of the domain you wish to be using as an affiliate domain.

Select a plan. The free plan works just as well as any of the other plans for the purpose we'll be using it for with affiliate domain. When you have selected a plan, press continue.

Wait for cloudflare to import your DNS records, this might take a few seconds.
When cloudflare has imported your DNS records, verify that the records matches what your domain registrar has registered (they most likely do) and press continue.
You now have to select a method for moving your domain to cloudflare. If you want to transfer your domain to cloudflare, select that option. It is however not necessary, and for this tutorial I will be selecting the default method.

You will now have to change your nameservers. This is done on the site of your domain registrar, so this is a different approach depending on which site you have chosen. Just follow the tutorial on cloudflare, and when you are done, press "Done, check your nameservers".
You will now meed the quick start guide, feel free to check out the domain settings which cloudflare offers, but for this tutorial we will just skip those by pressing "finish later".


You may now get one of two messages:
Message 1.

Your transfer is completed, but you'll have to wait a little while until cloudflare has verified that you have changed your nameservers properly.
Message 2.

Your transfer is successful.

[dropdown=/ad new (prefix) (player)]

Examples:

• Player1 runs ‘/ad new’ →  the subdomain insjr.yourdomain.org links to Player1
• Player1 runs ‘/ad new epic’ →  the subdomain epic.yourdomain.org links to Player1
• Player1 runs ‘/ad new boom Player2’ → the subdomain boom.yourdomain.org links to Player2.

A common use for this command, would be to trigger a reward when a player donates on your server, as shown below.
Example:

1. Player1 sets up a custom domain and shares it to Player2
2. Player2 joins with Player1’s domain
3. Player2 donates on your server, triggering the following command from console ‘/ad trigger your_donation_reward Player2’
4. Player1 receives the reward named your_donation_reward specified in rewards.yml.
