What is Lavalink and why do I need it?

Lavalink is a standalone audio sending node based on Lavaplayer. It handles the heavy audio processing for Discord music bots, allowing your bot to scale across thousands of servers without lag. If you run a music bot using libraries like discord.js, discord.py, or JDA, Lavalink is essential for modern v14+ libraries.

How do I connect my Discord bot to HeavenCloud Lavalink?

After purchasing a managed Lavalink plan, you will receive instant access to your Host, Port, and Password in the HeavenCloud panel. Simply add these credentials to your bot's configuration file (compatible with Shoukaku, Erela.js, Wavelink, Poru, etc.). We provide plug-and-play configs for all major libraries.

How many audio sources does HeavenCloud Lavalink support?

HeavenCloud managed Lavalink supports 30 resolvable music sources natively. This includes YouTube, Spotify, SoundCloud, Apple Music, Twitch, Vimeo, and regional platforms like JioSaavn and Gaana. All sources are pre-configured via Lavalink v4 and LavaSrc plugins on managed nodes.

What does JVM-tuned mean for Lavalink?

JVM-tuning refers to optimizing the Java Virtual Machine's garbage collector (GC) and heap memory allocation specifically for Lavalink's audio streaming workload. HeavenCloud applies proprietary JVM flags on our AMD EPYC and Ryzen 9 nodes to ensure low-jitter audio delivery, minimizing stuttering and bitrate drops for your Discord voice channels.

Do you use clean IPv4 addresses for Lavalink?

Yes. HeavenCloud provisions clean, dedicated IPv4 addresses for our paid Lavalink hosting plans. We actively monitor our subnets to ensure they are not blacklisted by Discord or major audio sources (like YouTube), guaranteeing uninterrupted playback and fewer "rate limit" blocks.

What is the difference between Managed, Dedicated, and Self-Managed Lavalink?

Managed Lavalink (from ₹525/mo) is a hands-off solution where HeavenCloud handles JVM tuning, source plugins, and SLA. Dedicated Lavalink provides isolated Ryzen 9 hardware for large-scale bots. Self-managed Lavalink (from ₹99/mo) provides a raw VPS where you must install Java, Lavalink.jar, and configure plugins yourself.

Can I use HeavenCloud public Lavalink nodes for production?

HeavenCloud provides free public Lavalink nodes for development and light testing. However, public nodes share community rate limits and do not include an uptime SLA. For production music bots, we highly recommend upgrading to Managed Lavalink for dedicated CPU priority, clean IPv4, and our 99.95% SLA.

Which regions are available for Lavalink hosting?

We offer 20+ live PoPs across USA, India, Singapore, Australia & Germany for Lavalink hosting. This includes Mumbai & Delhi (India) for <5ms ping in South Asia, multiple USA locations (Miami, LA, NYC, Chicago, Texas, Utah), Singapore for APAC, and Germany for European Discord voice regions.

Can I test the Lavalink audio quality before buying?

Yes! You can test our managed Lavalink infrastructure directly on our website. Visit https://heavencloud.in/service/lavalink-hosting#lavalink-audio-test to search for tracks, play audio, and view lyrics right in your browser—no Discord bot or Java installation required.

What is the difference between Free and Premium Discord Bot Hosting?

Free bot hosting is designed for development and small communities, offering basic resources with community support.

Premium plans also include advanced panel features like automated backups and schedules.

How do I deploy a Node.js Discord bot?

To deploy a Node.js bot: 1. Purchase a bot hosting plan and log into the HeavenCloud Panel. 2. Upload your bot files (index.js, package.json, etc.) via the web file manager or SFTP. 3. Ensure your token is securely stored in a .env file. 4. Go to the "Startup" tab and ensure the startup command is correct (usually `npm start` or `node index.js`). 5. Click "Start" on the console page. The panel will automatically run `npm install` and start your bot.

How do I deploy a Python (discord.py) bot?

To deploy a Python bot: 1. Access your server on the HeavenCloud Panel. 2. Upload your main Python file (e.g., bot.py) and your requirements.txt file via SFTP or the web panel. 3. Set your startup command in the "Startup" tab to `python bot.py`. 4. Start the server; the panel will install the dependencies listed in requirements.txt using pip and launch your bot.

Will my Discord bot run 24/7?

Yes! All Premium Discord bot hosting plans on HeavenCloud run 24/7 and are backed by a 99.9% SLA. Unlike some free hosts that put bots to sleep when inactive, our premium infrastructure keeps your bot online continuously.

What features are included in the bot hosting panel?

Our Pterodactyl-based panel includes a live console, web-based file manager, SFTP access, automated backups, scheduled tasks (cron jobs), resource monitoring (CPU, RAM, Network), and one-click database deployment. It also supports sub-users so your development team can access the panel securely.

What is a VPS and what can I do with it?

A VPS (Virtual Private Server) provides you with dedicated resources on a shared physical server. You get full root/administrative access, allowing you to install any operating system (Linux or Windows), software, or custom scripts. It's ideal for hosting web servers, large databases, custom game servers, or applications that require custom environments.

Why choose HeavenCloud India VPS?

Our India VPS nodes are located in Tier-4 datacenters in Mumbai and Pune. They feature AMD Ryzen 9 processors, NVMe SSDs, and premium domestic uplinks, ensuring ultra-low latency (<5ms) across India. They are perfect for Indian game servers, low-latency trading algorithms, and regional web applications.

How do I access my VPS via SSH?

To access your Linux VPS via SSH: 1. Download an SSH client like PuTTY or use your computer's built-in terminal. 2. Find your VPS IP address and root password in the HeavenCloud billing area or welcome email. 3. Run the command `ssh root@your_vps_ip`. 4. Enter your root password when prompted.

Is DDoS protection included on VPS plans?

Yes, all HeavenCloud VPS plans include enterprise-grade DDoS protection at the network level. Our mitigation systems automatically detect and filter malicious traffic (L3/L4 and some L7 attacks) without affecting legitimate user traffic.

What VPS regions are available?

HeavenCloud offers VPS hosting in multiple global regions: India (Mumbai, Pune), USA (Miami, Los Angeles, New York, Dallas, Chicago, Utah), Singapore, and Germany (Frankfurt). This allows you to deploy infrastructure close to your target audience for the best performance.

Our India nodes provide low ping for domestic players.

Will you support Hytale server hosting?

Yes! HeavenCloud is fully prepared to offer high-performance Hytale server hosting as soon as the game and its server files are officially released. Our infrastructure is already optimized for the Java and C++ environments Hytale is expected to use.

How does game server DDoS protection work?

Our game server DDoS protection uses custom filters specifically designed for UDP traffic (which most games use). It blocks volumetric attacks, UDP floods, and query floods while allowing legitimate player traffic through with minimal latency impact. This ensures your players don't disconnect during an attack.

How do I create a MySQL database?

If you are using our Premium Bot Hosting or Game Server Hosting, you can create a free MySQL database directly from the "Databases" tab in your control panel. Just enter a name, and the panel will generate the host, port, username, and password for you to use in your application.

What standalone database engines do you host?

We offer standalone managed database hosting for MySQL (MariaDB), MongoDB, PostgreSQL, and Redis. These are isolated instances with dedicated resources, NVMe storage, and automated backup solutions for production applications.

Are my databases backed up automatically?

Yes. For our managed database hosting plans, we perform automated daily snapshots. You can also manually trigger backups from the control panel before making major schema changes or running large migrations.

How do I order a service?

Browse to the specific service page on our website, select the plan that fits your needs, and click "Order Now". You will be redirected to billing.heavencloud.in where you can create an account, complete payment, and your service will be provisioned instantly in most cases.

What payment methods do you accept?

What is your refund policy?

We offer a refund within a specified window for most new services if you are unsatisfied, subject to our Refund Policy terms. Dedicated servers, domain names, and specialized software licenses are generally non-refundable. Please review our full Refund Policy page for exact details.

How do I claim SLA credits for downtime?

If your service experiences downtime exceeding our 99.95% monthly network uptime guarantee for paid managed Lavalink hosting, you can claim SLA credits. Open a billing ticket in your client area within 7 days of the incident, providing logs or proof of downtime. Once verified against our internal monitoring, credits will be added to your account balance for future renewals.

What are Premium ISP Uplinks?

Premium ISP Uplinks mean we route your traffic through high-quality Tier-1 internet service providers rather than cheap transit networks. This results in fewer hops, lower packet loss, and more stable ping for sensitive applications like Lavalink audio and game servers.

Can I rent additional IPv4 addresses?

Yes. We offer clean /24 IPv4 subnets and single IPv4 leases for dedicated servers and VPS clients. These IPs are checked against spam and bot blacklists before allocation.

Where can I check the network status?

You can view real-time network status, upcoming maintenance, and historical uptime data on our public status page at status.heavencloud.in. We recommend subscribing to updates there.
