  The Vellix Hosting documentation site is live. This release brings a full set of guides for managing your game server, scaling your plan, and securing your account.

  ### New features

  **Self-serve plan upgrades and downgrades**

  Scale your server's RAM, CPU, and disk at any time from the client area — no data loss, with pro-rated billing for the remainder of your cycle. See [Billing & Support Tickets](/getting-started/billing).

  **Startup options and port allocations**

  Switch Java versions, tweak startup variables, and request additional port allocations for plugins like Dynmap, Votifier, and Simple Voice Chat. See [Startup Options & Port Allocations](/management/server-settings).

  **One-click MySQL databases**

  Provision and manage MySQL/MariaDB databases for plugins like LuckPerms, CoreProtect, and Dynmap directly from the panel. See [MySQL Databases](/databases/mysql).

  **Subusers with granular permissions**

  Invite builders, developers, and co-owners to your panel with fine-grained per-feature permissions. See [Subusers & Permissions](/collaboration/subusers).

  **Automatic and manual backups**

  Create on-demand backups before risky changes, schedule recurring backups, and restore in a click. See [Backups & Restoration](/backups/backups).

  **SFTP access**

  Move modpacks, maps, and bulk files faster using any SFTP client (FileZilla, WinSCP). See [SFTP Connection](/management/sftp).

  **Two-factor authentication**

  Protect your account and server files with TOTP-based 2FA from the account settings page. See [Account Security](/getting-started/security).

  ### Updates

  **Optimization playbook**

  A new performance guide covers chunk pre-generation with Chunky, server config tuning, view-distance recommendations, and tips for keeping servers at a steady 20 TPS. See [Server Optimization & Performance Tips](/management/optimization).

  **Mod and plugin installation workflow**

  Step-by-step guidance for installing plugins, mods, and full modpacks, including version-compatibility checks across Spigot, Paper, Forge, Fabric, and NeoForge. See [Uploading & Installing Mods/Plugins](/customization/install-mods).

  **Updated Discord support link**

  The Discord community invite has been refreshed so you can reach support and other server owners faster.
