# Server Rating System

Understanding how server ratings work on Clore.ai and how to improve yours.

## What is Server Rating?

Server rating is a score that indicates the reliability and quality of your server. Higher ratings lead to:

* Better visibility in marketplace
* More rentals
* Higher trust from renters

## Rating Components

Your server rating is based on several factors:

### 1. Uptime

The most important factor - how often your server is online and available.

| Uptime | Impact                       |
| ------ | ---------------------------- |
| 99%+   | Excellent - top rankings     |
| 95-99% | Good                         |
| 90-95% | Average                      |
| <90%   | Poor - may affect visibility |

### 2. Successful Rentals

Completed rentals without issues improve your rating.

* ✅ Rental completed normally
* ✅ No complaints from renter
* ✅ Server performed as advertised

### 3. Response Time

How quickly your server responds to connections and requests.

### 4. Specs Accuracy

Server performs according to listed specifications:

* GPU model matches
* RAM amount correct
* Storage available as listed
* Network speed as advertised

### 5. Renter Reviews

Feedback from users who rented your server.

## How to Improve Your Rating
