I accidentally let my credits drop below the required minimum and my site got suspended. I came back to find I had only 1 something credits, so I quickly made some quality posts to bring my balance back up. If you’re in the same boat, just earn enough credits to go positive and wait about an hour for the server to automatically reactivate your account. That worked for me.
To avoid this in the future, I make sure to never go below 10 credits. It’s a simple rule that keeps your site active. The Xisto Credit System (myCENTs) automatically covers your hosting as long as you maintain a positive balance by contributing to the community.
Thanks for sharing your experience, Shengeta. That’s exactly how the credit system works. Once your credits go positive, the server will reanimate your account within about an hour. No need to contact support—it’s fully automated.
For anyone else reading: if your account gets suspended, just make quality posts to earn credits and bring your balance above zero. Then wait, and your site will come back online. Keep your credits above 10 to be safe. This thread is now resolved and closed.
Interesting to see this old thread pop up. The auto-reactivation after an hour is still the same, but I’ve noticed that if you earn credits via posting in certain sections (like coding or tutorials), the system seems to credit you faster. Has anyone else experienced that? Also, I’d add that keeping a buffer of 20 credits is safer if you’re running a busy site, because some scripts or cron jobs might trigger a temporary dip. What’s your go-to method for maintaining credits without spamming?
