Boosting Badge Perks
- BONUS: NEW EVOLVING BADGE!
When you boost a server, you’ll also see this new ✨shiny✨ badge in your User Profile to display your love for that boosted server!
This badge will evolve after it reaches a certain milestone of time as you continue your streak for your Server Boost!
As long as you keep boosting your favorite server, that badge will continue to evolve while you reach extra ✨✨✨ levels!
Note:
- If you have only one boosted server, and you moved your Server Boost, your badge will reset to the first level!
- However, if you have multiple boosted servers, the badge will always be whichever is your longest Server Boost streak (or the longest milestone of time achieved for your Server Boost) .
Nitro Subscription Perks
- BONUS BONUS: 30% OFF FOR NITRO + NITRO CLASSIC SUBSCRIBERS
If you have an active Nitro or Nitro Classic subscription, you'll get 30% off all Server Boost purchases! To learn the differences between classic Nitro and Nitro Classic check out this article here!

Ready to Unleash the Boost?
Have you found your favorite cereal server? If so, you can now head into the next steps of the article!
If you're still on the fence of which server you want to boost, just remember that while you can move your boost from one server to another, there's a 7 day cool-down period to make that change!
Choose your servers wisely and follow these steps below!
Server Guide
Step by Step Guide Summary
1. Select your server and head into the Server Boost in the Server Settings dropdown menu!
2. Confirm your selection and make sure you've selected the correct server to boost
3. Choose the number of Server Boosts you'd like to purchase!
4. Review and confirm your final payment for today's purchase!
5. YOUR BOOST IS NOW ACTIVATED!
- Step 1: SELECT YOUR SERVER!
When you're ready to unleash your Server Boost, head directly to the server itself! Just click on that Server Boost button within the Server Settings dropdown menu!
- Step 2: CHECK ON CURRENT BOOSTS/PERKS AND CONFIRM
A brand new screen will then appear to display the current perks of the server and you'll be able to see how many Server Boosts there already are for this specific server!
If you're still down to boost this server, make sure to press the Boost This Server button!
- Step 3: CONFIRM ONE MORE TIME (WE WANT TO MAKE SURE YOU ARE REALLY READY TO BOOST THIS SPECIFIC SERVER!)
You'll then see this pop up message to confirm that you've selected the correct server to boost! Whenever you're all good to go, press that Boost button!

Once you've confirmed that you've selected the right server, now you can choose how many Server Boosts you'd like and see your subtotal for the current purchase!

- Step 6: BOOSTING COMPLETE!
AND CONGRATS, YOU NOW HAVE YOUR✨SERVER BOOSTS✨!!!!
After you’ve boosted your absolute favorite servers, your love and appreciation will be broadcasted to everyone within the channel, and you’ll see a new ✨shiny✨ purple diamond by your name in the server.
NOTE: If you're the server owner or have Manage Server permissions, you'll be able to select which channel this message will appear in, or toggle this option on/off within the Overview section in your Server Settings!
Server Owner/Admin View
If you’re the server owner or have Manage Server permissions within the server, you’ll be able to go behind the scenes and head into the “Server Boost Status” tab in your server settings and see:
- Your server’s current level + perks
- How many people blessed the server with Boosts
- And how many more Boosts you need before your server reaches the next level!
I promise that 8 + 2 equals 15.
Note:
- If the server is running low on Server Boost fuel and loses a Level, the server will be able to keep the Level perks for a grace period of 3 days.
- However after the 3 days, perks such as the server banner and extra emojis will not be fully removed from the server, but will become temporarily invalid until the Level is regained.
- On the other hand, the custom vanity URL will be lost and become available to other servers after 3 days.
How do I change the server for my current Server Boosts?
If you didn’t heed our warnings and you boosted your second favorite cereal server by accident or you have a new favorite cereal server, you’ll be able to transfer the Server Boost to send the boost to a new server following the User Settings Guide below!
