Other Tools

Beyond hosting, Waifly runs a handful of standalone tools: unsuspend.waifly.com reactivates a suspended server that is not blacklisted, transfer.waifly.com sends encrypted files with an optional password and an expiry from 1 hour to 1 week, and the domain page generates an Nginx reverse-proxy configuration so a custom domain points at your server. A speedtest, a QR code generator and a status page complete the set.

Unsuspend a server

Go to unsuspend.waifly.com:

1. Paste your server's link (https://panel.waifly.com/server/...).
2. If the server isn't blacklisted, it's reactivated automatically.
3. If it's blocked, a message invites you to contact support and check the terms of service.

File transfer

On transfer.waifly.com, send a file via drag-and-drop with:

• An optional password.
• A configurable expiration: 1h, 6h, 1 day (default), 3 days or 1 week.
• A limited number of downloads (1 to 1000, unlimited by default).

Files are encrypted and automatically deleted on expiration.

Connect a custom domain

1. Point your domain's A DNS record to the Waifly server's IP.
2. Go to the domain management page and enter your domain name along with the target IP/URL.
3. An Nginx configuration (reverse proxy) is generated automatically to route traffic to your server.

Other tools

• Speedtest (dashboard) — a personal speed test and a network test for the server.
• Resources (dashboard) — real-time monitoring of the nodes (CPU, RAM, disk, bandwidth).
• Download (dashboard) — desktop apps (Windows, Linux) and mobile apps (iOS/macOS, Android).

Unsuspend — what it can and cannot do

unsuspend.waifly.com reactivates a server automatically if it is not blacklisted. That covers the common case: a server suspended for 3 days of inactivity, which comes back as soon as you ask. It does not cover a suspension for a terms-of-service breach — there the page points you to support, and the reason has to be resolved before anything is restored.

Timing matters. A server created less than 7 days before suspension is deleted after 3 days; an older one is kept 15 days and recoverable from backups.waifly.com. Past those windows there is nothing left to reactivate.

File transfer

transfer.waifly.com takes a file by drag and drop and returns a link. Three settings: an optional password, an expiry of 1 hour, 6 hours, 1 day (default), 3 days or 1 week, and a download limit from 1 to 1000 (unlimited by default). Files are encrypted at rest and deleted automatically when the expiry passes or the download count runs out — there is no manual cleanup and no way to extend a link after the fact.

Custom domains

Two steps, in this order. Point your domain's A record at the server IP, then declare the domain and its target on the domain management page. An Nginx reverse-proxy configuration is generated for you. Doing it the other way round produces a configuration that resolves nowhere until DNS catches up, which can take up to 24 hours depending on your registrar's TTL.

Mega and Giga plans include a free Waifly subdomain with SSL, which avoids the DNS step entirely if you do not already own a domain.

The rest

A speedtest measures the connection between you and the Paris nodes — useful to tell a slow server apart from a slow link. A QR code generator and a GIF generator round out the set, and status.waifly.com publishes live availability and the rolling 30-day uptime figure quoted across this documentation.
