Your server is free for life — the life of MonkeyBytes Hosting, that is. As long as MonkeyBytes continues to operate and you confirm your server every 14 days using the lifecycle system, your hosting remains completely free. There are no trial expirations, no forced downtime, and no point where we start charging. "Lifetime" means the operational lifetime of MonkeyBytes as a platform, not your own personal lifetime.

Always enable it before uploading files, editing code, changing configs, or running npm/pip installs. Disable it only after everything finishes.

You risk corrupted deployments or crashes. Keep maintenance on until uploads and installs are done and you are ready to start the bot.

Yes. No sleep timers or forced restarts. Auto-restart on crash is enabled.

Set your start command in the panel (npm start, node index.js, or python main.py). Make sure the entry file matches the command.
