Discord asks you to keep the top 48 px fairly simple, so your server's name stays easy to read over it.

Six to start from
Rendered at 16:9 by the studio's own renderer. Each opens there at this size, ready to change and export.
No logo or text
Discord's own guidelines say to avoid a banner with a logo or text in it, and suggest subtle background art. A gradient in your server's colours is exactly that.
Who can set it
Servers at Boosting Level 2 can add a banner, and Level 3 can add an animated one. Owners, and members with the Manage Server or Administrator permission, set it in Server Settings, Overview. The studio has no GIF export, so an animated banner needs another tool.
Bigger is fine
Discord resizes a 1920 × 1080 upload for you, which is the size of the free first download here.
Other sizes
The same studio, set to another place a background goes.
