Centro Coin System
How it works
The coin system is the core of how we operate, you buy coins then these coins can be used to upgrade your server's resources, and pay for your renewal.
How To Obtain Coins
Purchasing
You can go to the "Buy Coins" Page found in the client panel here and buy. When you have enough coins, head on over to the shop to use your coins to make a pre-made server or a custom one!
Quick Tip!
All purchases are automatic!
Renewal System
Each server you create has 30 days before the renewal time is up again. You can view this on the invoice page found in the client area (date of renewal, and price). Your renewal will automatically be paid every 30 days as long as you have enough credits on your account to cover your server's cost.
Quick Tip!
If you connect your discord account to your CentroNodes account (found on the profile page.) You will be pinged in the discord 3 days before, 2 days before, 1 day before, and the day of your renewal in case you forgot.
What happens if I forgot or don't have enough credits?
You will have a 5 day grace period in which you can still unsuspended your server before it's removed forever. To unsuspend your server visit the invoice page in the client area and choose the "Renew" button on your server. This will unsuspended your server and put your server back into the 30-day renewal cycle.
If there ever seems to be an issue with this system, or you have questions. Please feel free to open a ticket!
Shop System
You can use your Centro Coins to upgrade your service resources! You can edit ram, disk space, slots, and more!

Can't Upload Or Unarchive Files!?!
This sometimes happens if the file size is large and compressed
with an unrecognized zip format. To safely transfer your files
to your server, you will need to SFTP (Secure file transfer
protocol) into the file system of your server. This is simple to
do in a few steps.
First, download and install Filezilla (Link below) Note, that the first image is how it looks once opened.
Next, you need to find your server's login credentials. You can find this information on the "settings" tab in the server panel. (Seen in image 2)
Next, you can connect to the server by copying and pasting your "server address" into the "host" section of FileZilla. Copy and paste your "username" to the "username" field in Filezilla. The password is the same your using for your server panel. To find this pass click here. The port can be left
blank, it will auto-fill.
Lastly, click quick connect to your server, you will then see all your files as you do in the server panels file manager. You can just drag and drop your folders to the desired folder just as you would in file explore.
