Adding notes to a server

Add notes, and a short description to your dedicated server!

What can notes be used for?

For example within the standard notes, you can save important commands that you commonly use, or note down the configuration of your software, and how to modify it.

The text in the general description will show up in your server list view, and can be used to label servers with for example: Database Server or Web Server
