How to Set a Custom Host Banner on Your Left 4 Dead 2 Server

Note:

You can display a custom image (banner) at the top of the “Message of the Day” screen. This is the first thing players see when they join. You just need a direct link to an image hosted online (like Imgur or a personal website)

1. Log In to Your Panel

2. Select the ‘Files’ Tab

L4D2 Server Dashboard, Files Tab Highlighted

3. Select the ‘left4dead2’ Folder

Navigating to the left4dead2 root folder in the Cybrancee server file manager

4. Select the ‘host.txt’ File

Locating the host.txt file in the root left4dead2 directory

5. Add Your Image URL

Open host.txt. Delete everything inside and paste this exact code. 

<html>
<head><title>Left 4 Dead 411</title></head>
<body style="margin:0px;padding:1px;background:#000000;">
<img src="URL_HERE" style="width:100%;height:100%;" />
</body>
</html>

Note: Replace the “URL_HERE” text with the direct link to your image

Pasting the custom HTML structure and image URL into the host.txt file
