Looking for how something works, not just what it means? Each term links to the guide that covers it in depth.
Allocation
A public network endpoint assigned to your server — a hostname + port pair. Paid servers include at least one and can add more; Free Tier servers have none. See Network & Allocations.Billing Panel
Daki’s billing site at billing.daki.cc, used to purchase plans and manage invoices, credits, and payment methods. It has its own login, separate from the Free Tier Dashboard. See Create an Account.DDoS protection
Best-effort mitigation of distributed denial-of-service attacks, included on paid plans.Docker image
The specific runtime version your server’s container runs (e.g. Node.js 22, Python 3.12). Selected in the Startup tab. See Eggs & Docker Images.Egg
A preconfigured template that defines your server’s programming language and type (e.g. Node.js, Python). Chosen when you create a server; change it later in the Settings tab. See Eggs & Docker Images.Free Tier Dashboard
The free-hosting site at dash.daki.cc, where you create your free server, watch ads to extend runtime, and find your Portal credentials. See Create an Account.Node
A physical host machine that runs many customer servers. Daki nodes use shared IP addresses, which is why custom domains go through a reverse proxy. See Connect a Custom Domain.Portal
Daki’s server-management panel at portal.daki.cc, built on a customized Pterodactyl installation. Manage files, startup, console, network, and subusers here. See Portal Overview.Prepaid
Daki’s billing model: pay for time up front, with no contract or lock-in, and renew only when you want. See Billing & Payments.Purge
The permanent deletion of a Free Tier server after its runtime reaches zero and the grace period passes. See Renewing Your Free Server.Runtime
The time budget a Free Tier server runs for. New servers start with 3 days and can accumulate up to 30 days by watching short ads. See Free Tier Overview.SFTP
Secure File Transfer Protocol — upload and download server files with no size limits, using the credentials in the Settings tab. See File Manager.Split
A slice of a paid plan’s resources that runs as its own server instance. Bronze = 2, Silver = 3, Gold = 4. See Understanding Splits.SSO
Single sign-on — a one-click login to the Portal from the Free Tier Dashboard or Billing Panel, with no separate password. See Create an Account.Suspension
A paused state where your server is offline but its files are preserved, pending renewal. After the grace period without renewal, the data is deleted. See Free Tier Overview and App & Bot Hosting Plans.Uptime SLA
The 99.9% uptime guarantee included with paid plans (not the Free Tier). See App & Bot Hosting Plans.Next Steps
