All the information you should need is in the previous and next paragraphs:

"When asking to be added, please provide contact information, the URL of the
mirror, and location of the mirror. Location should be provided similarly to
what is listed in the site list. Make sure that your mirror rsyncs directly from
cygwin.com at least twice a day. If your mirror site has up-to-date content,
once it is added, it will show up here automatically.

Please do not send questions asking how to set up a mirror. We don't provide
technical support for setting up mirrors. Sorry."

so if you can not understand those, you should investigate how to do so, or
delegate setting up and operating a mirror to someone else who can understand
those technical details, as the Cygwin project can not support mirror
administrators local infrastructure operations.

Those instructions, once pointed out and visible, were adequate for the OP.
