Hosting

Do I log into a server?
No. You log into Hoxi.net. The machine stays ours — no root, SSH, or aaPanel login.
Can I start with one site?
Yes. Plans start at a single site and scale up. Custom plans can be added in admin.
When does hosting actually start?
After payment is confirmed. Unpaid orders do not create a live site.
Is email hosting included?
Not yet. The mail module is reserved and off until we enable it.
Where are backups stored?
Jobs write to your hosting node and record a storage URI so object storage can be swapped in later.

Domains

Can I buy a domain here?
Yes. Open Buy a domain or the panel. We check if the name is free, compare live registrar prices, and charge $2 less than the lowest quote (minimum $0.99).
Are you a registrar?
Hoxi.net is a storefront. After you pay, staff register the name at an upstream registrar and set ns1.hoxi.net / ns2.hoxi.net.
I already own a domain.
Use Connect domain and point an A record at the node IP, or change nameservers if you want us to host DNS.

Billing & account

How do I pay?
Crypto (with on-chain hash verification), wallet funds, gift codes, or a submitted card/billing form for manual review. Hosting is not activated on an unpaid order.
Can I sign in with Google?
Yes, when the owner turns Google login on in Admin → Settings and adds a Google Cloud OAuth client. Email and password always work.
Refunds?
First hosting term has a 14-day window if we failed to deliver. Registered domains are not refundable. Full rules: Refund policy.
