# Coin System Explained

*Bot-hosting uses a coin system. Servers cost a certain number of coins every week or month, depending on your active server's plans and payment cycle, so you need coins to create your server and keep it running.*

**There are 3 ways to get coins:**

#### **1. Free Coins Generator** <a href="#lxke7kwlzz4" id="lxke7kwlzz4"></a>

The generator can be found at the top of the [Earn Coins page](https://legacy.bot-hosting.net/panel/earn). You must complete the captcha and then click the button labeled `Click here to claim one free coin!`. You can claim up to 10 coins per day with this method.

#### **2. Affiliate Program** <a href="#i1rpfrwzpes" id="i1rpfrwzpes"></a>

The affiliate page can be found [here](https://legacy.bot-hosting.net/panel/affiliate). Invite new users to create an account through your affiliate link. You get **10 coins** when a new user signs up for the first time.

**Didn't get coins?** See [Why didn't I receive coins after inviting to register?](/bot-hosting.net/faqs-and-information/no-coins-affiliate.md)

#### **3. Buy Coin Packs** <a href="#tdx757wa6s8" id="tdx757wa6s8"></a>

You can also buy coins with money. This may be required if your bot needs more resources.

You can pay by credit or debit card with Stripe, or with the other payment methods listed in the [Payment Guide](/bot-hosting.net/faqs-and-information/payment-guide.md).

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://bothosting-net.gitbook.io/bot-hosting.net/legacy/coins-system.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
