FAQ

​
Can I change the brand name?

Yes. Update lib/config/site.ts, replace assets, and adjust page copy where needed.

​
Can I use Sonata for a client?

No. Sonata is licensed for one individual, company, or organization to use for their own hosting website. If a client wants to use Sonata for their hosting brand, they need their own valid license.

​
Can I sell websites made with Sonata?

No. Sonata is not licensed for selling finished websites, client websites, or website-building services based on Sonata. You may modify Sonata freely for your own licensed individual, company, or organization website, but you may not resell Sonata, sell a modified copy, or use it as a base for client work.

​
Can I add more products?

Yes. Add product data in: 
lib/data/game-hosting.ts
lib/data/product-config.ts
Then update or create the relevant page.

​
Can I use another billing panel?

Yes. Update billing URLs and query parameters. For game hosting, check the billing config in game-hosting.ts.

​
Can I remove anti-piracy markers?

No. License markers, download identifiers, and anti-piracy placeholders must not be removed or tampered with.

​
Can I publish my modified version publicly?

No, not as source code, a reusable template, or a redistributed product. You may deploy the finished website or app as part of a licensed project.

​
Can I make Sonata dark mode only?

Yes, but review the theme toggle and html.light tokens if removing light mode support.

Do I need Pterodactyl?

No. Sonata can be used without Pterodactyl. Pterodactyl is only needed if you want live stock or infrastructure data connected to the included stock API flow.

​
Do I need UptimeRobot?

No. UptimeRobot is optional. If you do not use it, remove or customize the status page content to match your monitoring provider.

​
Can I use Cloudflare?

Yes. You can use Cloudflare for DNS, CDN, caching, SSL, and basic protection. Make sure API routes that need fresh data are not cached incorrectly.

​
Can I deploy to Vercel?

Yes. Vercel is one of the easiest deployment targets for Sonata. Add production environment variables in the Vercel project settings before deploying.

​
Can I deploy to a VPS?

Yes. Build Sonata with pnpm build, run it with pnpm start, then place it behind a reverse proxy such as Nginx.

​
Why does it work locally but fail in production?

Common causes:
  • Missing production environment variables.
  • Case-sensitive path issues on Linux.
  • Old Node.js version.
  • Build command mismatch.
  • External API requests blocked or rate-limited.
  • Placeholder billing URLs.

​
Can I add a new page?

Yes. Add the page under app/, then update navigation and footer if customers need to access it easily.

​
Can I change the design system?

Yes. Start with app/globals.css and shared components. Avoid rewriting every page unless the brand direction is completely different.

​
Should I edit components or data files?

Edit data files for content, pricing, specs, products, and URLs. Edit components when you need to change layout, interaction, or visual behavior.
