# Bump hubs

## Definition

Bump hubs are servers that contain a global bump channel. This bump channel receives **every** bump sent out by servers using ServerMate.

## How do I know if a server is a bump hub or not?

There are three simple ways to tell a bump hub apart from more traditional servers:

### In the `!hub` menu

Type `!hub` in any server to find the status of their bump hub eligibility. This can easily tell you if a server is a bump hub or not

###  ServerMate's profile picture in bumps

In a normal server, ServerMate's profile picture will look like this:

<div align="left"><img src="/files/-MRWrPAOyM3FA54TGuk3" alt="The normal ServerMate icon"></div>

Whereas, in a bump hub, ServerMate's profile picture will look like this:

<div align="left"><img src="/files/-MRWrg_CXNRrszLxyjZB" alt="The ServerMate icon with a globe appearing in the background"></div>

### The number of bumps appearing

Most servers using ServerMate tend to get 2-6 bumps within 12 hours (depending on the shard), bump hubs on the other hand receive 1-2 bumps per minute. If the flow of bumps seems very consistent, then you are probably in a bump hub&#x20;

## How to I convert my server to a bump hub?

1. Ensure you have purchased [premium](/servermate/info/patreon.md)
2. Apply for [server verification](/servermate/verification/guidelines.md) (type `!verify`)
3. Ensure ServerMate has the "Manage webhooks" permission enabled
4. Type `!hub` and click on the :repeat: reaction
5. Wait a moment as a webhook is generated
