Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Do I need programming knowledge to use this? A basic understanding of hosting or server deployment (like running a Node/PHP/Python environment or setting up a database, depending on your stack) is recommended. The included documentation guides you through the setup step-by-step.
Q: Are there any monthly fees? No. This is a one-time purchase. You only pay for your own server/hosting provider (like Vercel, Railway, DigitalOcean, or AWS), many of which have free or incredibly cheap tiers for this level of script.
