# Validator Nodes
The EWC & Volta validator as a service offering allow for seamless and easy Validator nodes set-up. You can choose the option for either an EW managed or a BYOC (bring your own cloud) infrastructure.
Validator as a Service (VaaS) allows you to purchase a bundle (1x Volta + 1x EWC node) with automated withdrawals, payout address change, integrated telemetry and EW validator set addition request.
**Please note that hosting validator nodes is only accessible to Energy Web Member Organizations.**
For all Validator Nodes related actions, please verify that you are in the **VaaS** part of Launchpad. You can switch to VaaS by using the toggle button on the top right of launchpad.
You will quickly recognize that you are in VaaS thanks to the dark theme.

## 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://docs.energyweb.org/launchpad/blockchain-infrastructure/validator-nodes.md?ask=&goal=
```
`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.
