*Where each task lives in Velumhold’s client area and control panel*

## Which numbers answer most questions?

**Seven numbers cover most questions about a Velumhold hosting account, and each one comes from the client area or the published rules.**

- **$25**: the smallest crypto top-up; above it, you pay the exact price of a term.
- **30 minutes**: how long the payment screen holds the exact crypto amount and its rate.
- **1 to 20**: the network confirmations a top-up waits for, from Solana to USDT on Tron.
- **1 hour**: the longest the team takes to set up an account after the payment is confirmed.
- **4 terms**: 1, 3, 6 or 12 months, at 0%, 10%, 20% or 30% off the monthly price.
- **7 days**: how long files, email and databases are kept after an account expires.
- **30 days**: the window to ask for the unspent minimum-only part of a top-up.

Prices follow the same pattern: one price per plan and term, the same at the order and at each renewal, all on the [pricing page](https://velumhold.com/pricing/ "How much does Velumhold web hosting cost?").

## How do you reach Velumhold support?

**Open a ticket in the client area, under Support, or write to support@velumhold.com: a person answers within 12 hours, seven days a week, in English.** No phone number is published, and no chat.

The new-ticket form asks for a topic: Technical help, Payments and billing, My account, Report abuse or Something else. A precise ticket gets a quicker answer:

- For a payment, give the coin, the network, the exact amount and the time you sent it.
- For an order, quote its reference, shown on the payment page and under Billing.
- For a website, give the domain and what you see, with the time.

Nobody from the support team will ever ask for your account number, your control panel password or your private SSH key, by email or in a chat. Abuse reports about a website go to abuse@velumhold.com, with its address, the time in UTC and what happened.

## Do you need an account to get help?

**No: anyone can write to support or read these guides, and the account is only created at the first order.** Velumhold has no sign-up form. When you continue at checkout, the client area creates an account and shows a random 16-digit account number, which is the login from then on.

Keep that number safe. Keep your account number somewhere safe: whoever holds it holds the account. With an email on file the number can be recovered; with no email, a lost number stays lost.

Once an account exists, most answers sit on its own pages. The hosting account page explains its state in plain words, Billing shows where every payment stands, and the timeline of an account keeps a dated line for each event: payment, setup, renewal, change of term. General questions about the service and its rules are answered on the [FAQ](https://velumhold.com/faq/ "What is Velumhold, and how does it work?") and on [how Velumhold works](https://velumhold.com/how-we-work/ "How does Velumhold private web hosting work?").

## What does a first order look like from start to finish?

**A first Velumhold order takes four moves: choose, pay, wait for the login, point the domain.** Choose the rental length, the plan, the location and the starting point at checkout. Pay from a crypto top-up, from $25. Wait for the account to read ready, which happens within minutes after confirmation and in no case later than an hour. Then copy the Server IPv4 and set the A record of your domain.

According to Velumhold’s survey of 2 November 2026, 14 of the 18 hosts read that day accept crypto, but only 4 of the 15 that sell shared hosting let a customer sign up with no identity check. Velumhold asks for none at any step. The smallest start is Tulle, 1 website, 20 GB NVMe, unmetered bandwidth, 10 email accounts, 10 databases, daily backups kept 7 days, from $2.49 a month on the yearly term.

## Frequently asked questions

### Where do I find my Velumhold account number?

In the client area, under Account settings, while logged in. If it is lost and an email was added, Velumhold can send it there; without an email, it cannot be recovered.

### Does Velumhold offer phone or chat support?

No. Velumhold answers tickets and emails to support@velumhold.com within 12 hours, seven days a week.

### Can I ask Velumhold a question before ordering?

Yes. Write to support@velumhold.com; Velumhold needs no account to answer a sales question or receive an abuse report.

### Does Velumhold help move an existing site?

Yes, for free. Send Velumhold support a backup or the old host’s login, and the team copies the site over.

### What should I never send to Velumhold support?

Your account number, your control panel password or a private SSH key. Velumhold never asks for them, so a message that does is not from Velumhold.
