A quick reference for the Daki- and hosting-specific terms used throughout these docs. Many of these also appear as **hover tooltips** inside the guides. 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](/guides/network-allocations). ### Billing Panel Daki's billing site at [billing.daki.cc](https://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](/guides/account-create). ### 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](/guides/eggs-and-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](/guides/eggs-and-images). ### Free Tier Dashboard The free-hosting site at [dash.daki.cc](https://dash.daki.cc), where you create your free server, watch ads to extend runtime, and find your Portal credentials. See [Create an Account](/guides/account-create). ### 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](/guides/custom-domain). ### Portal Daki's server-management panel at [portal.daki.cc](https://portal.daki.cc), built on a customized Pterodactyl installation. Manage files, startup, console, network, and subusers here. See [Portal Overview](/guides/portal). ### 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](/guides/billing). ### Purge The permanent deletion of a Free Tier server after its runtime reaches zero and the grace period passes. See [Renewing Your Free Server](/guides/save-free-server-from-purge). ### 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](/guides/free-tier). ### SFTP Secure File Transfer Protocol — upload and download server files with no size limits, using the credentials in the **Settings** tab. See [File Manager](/guides/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](/guides/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](/guides/account-create). ### 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](/guides/free-tier) and [App & Bot Hosting Plans](/guides/paid-plans). ### Uptime SLA The **99.9%** uptime guarantee included with paid plans (not the Free Tier). See [App & Bot Hosting Plans](/guides/paid-plans). *** ## Next Steps * [Free Tier Overview](/guides/free-tier) — Resources, runtime, and limits explained. * [Portal Overview](/guides/portal) — Where you manage everything. * [Frequently Asked Questions](/faq) — Quick answers to common questions.
