Using host.txt for a Server Banner
From CyberWurx Customer Wiki
[edit] Understanding host.txt
A host.txt file is implementation of a server banner that will show up next to the MOTD while joining games. It is usually best to use a 500x100 jpg file stretched out inside an html file.
Here is an example of a html file used for host.txt
<html> <head> <title>My Awesome Gameserver</title> </head> <body style="margin:0px;padding:1px;background:#000000;" scroll="no"> <img src="http://mywebsite.com/l4dbanner.jpg" style="width:100%;height:100%;" /> </body> </html>
That example can be uploaded to a publicly accessible website. Your host.txt file would point to this html file.
[edit] Example host.txt
