Common Questions

What operating system do servers run?

All servers run Ubuntu 22.04 LTS with a pre-configured development environment. Python, Node.js, Docker, and all 10 AI tools are installed and ready to use.

Can I use my own SSH key?

Yes. You can upload your SSH public key in Portal > Settings > SSH Keys, or use the browser-based terminal which handles authentication automatically.

How do I connect a custom domain?

Go to Portal > Domains, search for a domain name, and register it. The domain is automatically connected to your selected server with free SSL. DNS is managed for you.

Can I install additional software?

Absolutely. You have full root access to your server. Install anything you need with apt, pip, npm, or docker. The pre-installed tools are a starting point, not a limitation.

What are the payment options?

We accept all major credit and debit cards (Visa, Mastercard, Amex) through Stripe, plus cryptocurrency payments (Bitcoin, Ethereum, USDT, USDC). No KYC required for crypto.
