# 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

### Maximize Uptime

```bash
# Monitor your server status
systemctl status clore-hosting

# Enable auto-start on boot
systemctl enable clore-hosting

# Check for issues
journalctl -u clore-hosting -f
```

**Tips:**

* Use stable power supply (UPS recommended)
* Stable internet connection
* Monitor server health regularly
* Set up alerts for downtime

### Ensure Accurate Specs

1. Verify GPU is detected: `nvidia-smi`
2. Check RAM: `free -h`
3. Check storage: `df -h`
4. Test network speed: `speedtest-cli`

### Maintain Good Performance

* Keep drivers updated
* Monitor temperatures
* Clear unused Docker images
* Maintain sufficient free disk space

### Respond to Issues Quickly

* Monitor your Telegram notifications
* Respond to renter messages promptly
* Fix reported issues fast

## Viewing Your Rating

* Earnings history

## Rating Impact on Earnings

Higher-rated servers typically:

* Get rented more often
* Can command slightly higher prices
* Appear higher in search results
* Build repeat customers

## Common Rating Issues

### Low Uptime

**Causes:**

* Unstable internet
* Power outages
* Server crashes
* Clore software not running

**Solutions:**

* Use UPS for power backup
* Get business-grade internet
* Monitor and restart services automatically
* Check logs for crash reasons

### Spec Mismatch

* GPU not detected properly
* RAM reporting incorrectly
* Storage mounted wrong

**Solutions:**

* Reinstall NVIDIA drivers
* Check hardware connections
* Verify Clore hosting configuration

### Slow Response

**Causes:**

* Network issues
* High server load
* Firewall blocking

**Solutions:**

* Check network configuration
* Monitor server resources
* Verify port forwarding

## Best Practices

1. **Monitor 24/7** - Use monitoring tools or Telegram bot
2. **Automate restarts** - Set up automatic service recovery
3. **Keep updated** - Update Clore hosting software regularly
4. **Honest listings** - Only list specs you can deliver
5. **Good communication** - Respond to renters quickly
6. **Regular maintenance** - Schedule maintenance during low-demand times
