What should I do when it says 'Server white-listed'?

I set my username without spaces but it still says 'Server white-listed'. What should I do to join the server?
Best Answer
When a server is white-listed, it means that only the players on the white-list can access the server. This option is normally used if the owner of the server wants to limit which players can access their server.
The list of white-listed players can be found under white-list.txt
in the root server directory. If you own the server, you can add yourself to this white-list to gain access to the server. (Please note that if you are an OP on the server you should already be white-listed).
If you are not the owner of the server, have a look at their website. Some servers require you to sign up on their website to be white-listed on the server.
If all else fails, contact the server owner directly.
