Waifly Documentation

Waifly is a French hosting provider running application servers for developers on two Intel Xeon Gold 6138 nodes in Paris. The free plan costs €0 permanently — 300 MB of RAM, 1 GB of storage, one server and one MySQL database, with no credit card — and paid plans run from €4 to €16 per month. Servers are containers managed through a Pterodactyl panel, so there is no root access or SSH shell, but you get a live console, SFTP, databases, scheduled tasks and backups.

The complete guide to using the Waifly ecosystem: free and paid hosting for developers, Discord bots and game servers.

Waifly runs on three sites that work together:

waifly.com

Marketing site: plans, infrastructure, payment methods, unsuspending a server, file transfer, custom domains.

dash.waifly.com

Your customer area: account, servers, shop, gift cards, community, support, BotForge.

panel.waifly.com

The Pterodactyl panel: console, files, databases and backups for each server.

Your dashboard account and your Pterodactyl panel account are independent: two separate passwords, each changeable directly from its own site (the dashboard also has a "Reset Panel Password" button so you can change the panel password without going there).

Where to start?

Create an account on dash.waifly.com.
Check out the pricing and plans (the free plan requires no credit card).
Create a server from the Servers tab of the dashboard.
Configure and deploy your content from the Pterodactyl panel.
Know the anti-abuse rules to avoid getting suspended.
