Frequently asked questions about Volyx.
Learn how free hosting, Volyx Coins, server resources, renewals, runtimes, backups, security and support work before creating your project.
Free hosting
The basics of the Volyx hosting model and what free hosting means on the platform.
Is Volyx hosting really free?
Yes. Supported Volyx hosting currently requires no direct cash hosting payment. Supported creation and renewal use the Volyx Coins model and remain subject to the resources, requirements and availability shown in your workspace.
Does Volyx sell normal paid hosting plans?
The current Volyx hosting model is focused on free supported hosting rather than traditional paid hosting plans.
Can I create more than one hosting instance?
Yes. Volyx is designed to support multiple hosting instances under one account, provided the requirements for each instance are met and the required resources are available.
Volyx Coins
Coins connect eligible platform activity with supported server creation and renewal.
What are Volyx Coins used for?
Volyx Coins are the platform balance used for supported hosting creation and renewal. The required amount is shown in your workspace when the relevant action is available.
Do multiple tabs or devices earn more Coins?
No. The Coins system is designed around one eligible earning session per account, so opening extra tabs or using multiple devices does not multiply the earning session.
Do I need to click advertisements to earn Coins?
No. Advertising and eligible Coins activity are separate. Advertisement clicks are not required for Coins and do not provide additional hosting benefits.
Accounts and access
Your Volyx account connects hosting, server controls, Coins and account activity.
Do I need an account to create hosting?
Yes. Hosting instances, Coins, account activity and server management are connected to a Volyx account.
Can another person manage my server?
Supported server-user controls can be used when a project needs additional people to access server management. Only grant access to people you trust.
Where can I review important account or server actions?
Volyx includes activity information for supported account and server actions so important changes are easier to review and troubleshoot.
Server creation and resources
Resource requirements differ between projects, so the creation flow shows information relevant to the selected workload.
Can I choose CPU, RAM and disk resources?
The server creation interface shows the resource options available for the selected hosting type. Available values can vary by workload, location and platform capacity.
Can I choose a server location?
When multiple locations are available for the selected hosting type, you can choose from those available options during creation.
How long does a hosting instance stay active?
The applicable hosting duration and renewal information are shown in the Volyx workspace. Review them before creating or renewing a host because requirements can differ between services.
Minecraft hosting
Minecraft servers have their own Java, memory, plugin and performance requirements.
Can I host a Minecraft server on Volyx?
Yes. Volyx supports Minecraft hosting with server console access, files, startup configuration, supported Java environments, backups and other management tools.
How much RAM does a Minecraft server need?
There is no single correct amount for every server. Memory requirements depend on player count, server software, plugins, mods and workload. The Volyx Minecraft RAM guide explains these factors in detail.
Can I use plugins or modify server files?
Supported Minecraft environments provide file management and server configuration tools. Plugin compatibility depends on the server software and version you choose.
Bot hosting and runtimes
Bots and applications depend on compatible runtime versions, dependencies and startup configuration.
Can I host a Discord bot?
Yes. Volyx supports compatible Discord bot projects using supported runtime environments such as Node.js or Python.
Can I host Telegram or WhatsApp projects?
Supported Telegram and WhatsApp bot or automation workloads can be hosted when their runtime and project requirements are compatible with the available environment.
Why does my bot keep going offline?
Common causes include application crashes, missing dependencies, incorrect startup configuration, incompatible runtime versions or project errors. Start by reading the server console and checking the relevant Volyx troubleshooting guide.
Server management and reliability
The control panel provides tools for normal operation, troubleshooting and recovery.
Can I edit files and use a terminal?
Yes. Supported servers provide file-management tools and console or terminal-style access for reviewing output and using supported commands.
Can I create backups?
Yes. Supported servers include backup tools so you can create recovery points before important updates, configuration changes or file operations.
Does Volyx support databases and schedules?
Database resources and scheduled tasks are available for supported hosting configurations when the selected workload and server setup support them.
Security, support and policies
Public documentation, service status and policies help users understand the technical platform and its usage rules.
Where should I look when my server will not start?
Check the console output and startup configuration first. Then review the Volyx Guides and Documentation for runtime, Java, dependency, file and startup troubleshooting.
How do I know if Volyx itself has a service problem?
Use the public Status page to review service and infrastructure information when a problem appears to affect more than your individual project.
Where can I read the rules and privacy information?
The public Legal section contains Volyx terms, privacy information, acceptable-use rules and other policies that can be reviewed without signing in.
