Getting Started

Last updated: September 2026

One Javer account now works across every Javer product — Web Hosting, Simple Hosting, and Game Hosting. You only ever sign up once.

One account, every product

Javer uses a single sign-in called your Javer Account, at id.javer.pro. One email and password gets you into Web Hosting, Simple Hosting and Game Hosting — as long as you use the Continue with Javer Account button on each one.

One account does not mean one plan or one bill. Each product keeps its own plan and its own billing. Paying for Simple Hosting does not change what you get on Game Hosting.

Signing out is per-product, though. Logging out of Web Hosting does not sign you out of Game Hosting, the same way signing out of one Google product leaves the rest alone.

Creating your account

You create one Javer account, at id.javer.pro. Every product's login page sends you there — just press Continue with Javer Account. If you type an email with no account behind it yet, you're offered Create a Javer account right there. You need an email address and a password of at least 10 characters. Continue with Google works instead, if you prefer.

Web Hosting's login screen has an email-and-password form too, tucked behind Sign in another way. It exists only for the handful of accounts that predate Javer ID — don't use it to create a new account. An account made that way is local to Web Hosting alone; it gets no username, no public profile, and won't sign you into Simple Hosting or Game Hosting.

There is no verification email to wait for. Your account is created and signed in straight away. Javer only emails you for sign-in codes and password resets — so if you are sitting waiting for a link, you are not stuck, you are already in.

Your username and public profile

Claim a username from your account page — three to twenty characters, yours to keep until you change it. Once you have one, javerstudios.com/@yourname is a real page, worth actually sharing.

Nothing shows up on it by default. A Game Host server or a Web Hosting app only appears there if you turn it on yourself, from that server or app's own settings — the join address, whether it's online, and (for servers) how many people are on right now. Nothing you haven't chosen to show is ever visible to anyone else.

Which product do I want?

The three products solve different problems. Picking the right one first saves a lot of time:

You can use all three with the same account, and nothing stops you moving between them later.

Your first deploy

On Web Hosting, from your dashboard:

If your app runs a server rather than serving static files, it must listen on the PORT environment variable that Javer provides. Hardcoding a port number is the most common cause of a deploy that appears to work but returns 502. The Web Hosting guide covers this in detail.

Domains

You can buy a domain from the Domains page in Web Hosting or Simple Hosting. A domain belongs to your Javer account, not to the product you bought it in: it shows up in both, and it stays yours if you stop using one of them.

Buying one. Search for the name you want. The first-year price and the renewal price are both shown before you pay. We register it, set up its DNS and connect it to your site for you — there is nothing to configure. A new domain usually starts working within a few minutes, and HTTPS is set up automatically.

Pointing it at a site. A domain points at one site at a time, in either product. If it is connected to a site in the other product, the Domains page says so and tells you where to manage it.

Renewing. Domains bought here do not renew automatically. We email you before one expires, and you renew it for another year from the Domains page, where the renewal price is shown.

Email on your domain. Under Email, you can have an address like [email protected] arrive in an inbox you already use. We pass the mail on, and you keep replying from wherever you read it. The first time you add a destination address, that inbox gets an email asking you to confirm it — mail is not delivered until you click the link in it. If mail for your domain is already handled somewhere else, such as Google Workspace, adding forwarding is blocked, so it cannot take that mail over and stop it arriving.

DNS records. Under DNS you can add A, AAAA, CNAME, MX and TXT records — for example to verify the domain with Google, or to point a subdomain somewhere else. The record that points the domain at your site is protected and cannot be removed there, so a DNS change cannot take your site offline by accident. Changes take a few minutes to spread.

Settings. Under Settings: your name, address and phone are hidden from public WHOIS records by default, at no cost. Send www to your site makes people who type www in front of your address reach your site instead of an error. The transfer lock stops anyone moving the domain away; it has to stay on for 60 days after a domain is registered, which is an ICANN rule. To move the domain to another registrar after that, turn the lock off and use Show code to get the transfer code they will ask for.

Already own a domain somewhere else? You do not have to move it here — see Custom domains in the Web Hosting guide.

Deleting your account

Each product has its own option to delete your account in its Settings. It will not go through while something is still running there: in Web Hosting, cancel any active subscription and remove your apps, databases and VMs first; in Simple Hosting, cancel your plan from Billing and delete your sites and databases; in Game Hosting, delete your servers. Deleting signs you out on every device and switches off any API keys.

Domains are not deleted with a product account, because they belong to your Javer account. They stay yours and can be managed from any Javer product you still use, and they expire on their own date unless you renew them.

Your Javer ID — the sign-in itself — is deleted separately at id.javer.pro/account. Do that last: once it is gone you cannot sign in to cancel a subscription in any product.

Getting help

The quickest route is the help in your panel — Support in Web Hosting, Help in Simple Hosting, Need help? in Game Hosting. In Web Hosting and Simple Hosting the assistant can already see your plan and your apps, so you do not have to explain your setup. If it cannot solve something it opens a ticket with a case number and a human replies on that ticket. Not logged in? Use the support page, and if you are locked out of your account entirely you can pull up an existing ticket there with your case number and the email you used. You can still email [email protected] if you prefer. Javer Studios is run by one person, so you are talking to the person who can actually change the thing you are asking about. Include your app name and roughly when the problem started.

Live service status for every product is at javer.pro/status.
