|---|
| Binding | volume-quota 300 MB of RAM with a 30 per cent CPU cap binds first: the anti-abuse rules also forbid tunnels and proxies on the free plan, so the machine cannot be repurposed as a relay when the application outgrows the memory. |
|---|
| Identity | email no card: quoted 'No payment method is requested for the free plan'. Signup is a username of at least 4 alphanumeric characters, an email, a password of at least 6 characters, a 'how did you find us' field and acceptance of the terms; Discord, Google or Apple login are alternatives. No phone and no document. |
|---|
| Egress | not published: no traffic allowance appears on the pricing page, the rules page or the documentation index read |
|---|
| Per-object cap | '1 server, 1 MySQL database' on the free plan. An extra server slot costs EUR 1 a month, which is a paid add-on rather than a free cap. |
|---|
| Retention | 'A server's status is checked daily; it gets suspended after 3 days offline.' A suspended server created less than 7 days earlier 'is deleted after 3 days'; an older one is kept '15 days' and recoverable from backups.waifly.com. An automated inspection runs every 30 minutes. So the machine persists indefinitely while it keeps running, and dies 3 days after it stops. |

| Interface | sftp, rest a Pterodactyl panel with a live console, file manager, SFTP, databases, scheduled tasks and backups; the docs state 'there is no root access or SSH shell' |

| Reliability | The operator publishes 99.9 per cent measured uptime over 30 days on status.waifly.com. |
|---|
| Notes | A French host with two named Paris nodes, a documented anti-abuse rule that is unusually explicit about its own suspension clock, and a free plan that needs no card. The founder is named in the documentation but no company registration number was found on any page read, so the entity is a named individual rather than a company. The one thing that would change the verdict is an egress number, which is not published. |
|---|
| Evidence note | documented Shape, price, the no-card statement and the suspension clock are quoted from the vendor's own documentation read. Egress is not published, so the row is documented about the allocation and unverified about bandwidth. |
