How it works

Four steps from download to earning.

Download & Install

Run the CloudNode installer on any Windows or Linux machine. No technical expertise required.

Link your account

Enter your CloudNode Account ID so credits go straight to your account. Takes 30 seconds.

Set your limits

Choose how much CPU, RAM, and disk space to share. CloudNode never exceeds what you allow.

Start earning

Press Start. Your machine joins the network and earns credits automatically — even while you sleep.

What you contribute & earn

Every resource your machine shares earns credits redeemable for hosting or cash.

⚡

CPU compute

Run web app jobs, build tasks, and background workers for CloudNode customers. Billed per vCPU-second with a 1-minute minimum per job.

💾

Disk storage

Host static sites, backups, and uploaded files. Your allocated disk quota earns a continuous storage credit while data lives on your machine.

📡

Bandwidth

Serve site traffic directly from your node. Outbound bandwidth you contribute is tracked and credited against your hosting bill or paid out.

🔒

Redundancy bonus

Nodes that store replicas of customer data earn a redundancy multiplier — the network values durability and pays more for it.

🏠

Your own backup node

Link your Account ID and CloudNode prioritises replicating your own sites and data to your machine first — giving you a free personal offsite backup.

💰

Credits & payouts

Earnings accumulate as CloudNode credits. Use them to pay your hosting bill, or request a payout. Workers are settled hourly.

Frequently asked questions

Everything you need to know before you start.

No. You set the CPU, RAM, and disk limits in the app. CloudNode Worker runs at the lowest OS process priority and only uses resources you explicitly allow. You can pause or stop it instantly at any time.

No. CloudNode Worker connects outward to the coordinator — it never requires inbound connections. It works fine behind NAT, firewalls, and home broadband routers with no configuration changes.

Nothing breaks. CloudNode Worker monitors your public IP and automatically notifies the coordinator whenever it changes. The coordinator also pings your node on a schedule to keep the address fresh.

Yes. All customer files are encrypted before being distributed to worker nodes. Your machine stores encrypted blocks — not readable content — and has no access to decryption keys.

Create a free CloudNode account at /register. Your Account ID is shown in the dashboard. Paste it into the “My Account ID” field in the Worker app before pressing Start.

The Worker app tracks resource usage locally every second and flushes a billing report to the coordinator once per hour. Credits appear in your account shortly after each flush.

Yes. On Linux the installer registers a systemd service so CloudNode Worker starts automatically at boot. On Windows you can run the .exe in the background or add it to your startup folder.
