What Is Roblox?

Updated: Nov 7, 2022

If you want to know what Roblox is, click here. You've come to the right site if you're looking for information on its features and safety measures. Without further ado, let's get to the point.

Describe Roblox.

Children between the ages of 8 and 18 can play games online on Roblox. On the website, you can play games made by big groups of independent developers, as well as games labelled Studio that were made by the Roblox Corporation.


While many of these games are geared toward younger audiences, several are created for older or more seasoned gamers (e.g., Trigger Time, Apocalypse Rising). The service has been around for a while, and it was primarily designed for kids between the ages of 8 and 14. However, over time, that target audience altered to include older players as well; from my own experience, anyone may participate if they so choose.


Who is the creator of Roblox?

David Baszucki and Erik Cassel created Roblox in its basic form in 2004. Their goal was to provide a platform where users could create and share games with one another, as well as play games together. Correlated-Keywords was established in 2005 to oversee the creation and upkeep of Roblox and host it on their servers.

The business is still around today. However, it is controlled by the same individuals that control Roblox. It moved its headquarters from California to Luxembourg in 2016 for a number of reasons, including tax reasons. You can read more about that specific move here.


What Location Hosts Roblox?

At the moment, Roblox is hosted by Dynadot, which is the company's domain name registrar, Amazon Web Services, and a number of other service providers, such as Cloudflare. It can also be accessible from outside the US, but owing to geographical limitations, some functions (such as Studio and Builders Club) won't function.


What is the price of Roblox?

Playing Roblox is cost-free. But a number of in-game items (like Robux and Builders Club) can be purchased with actual cash through the user's platform account. Users can also purchase additional services for their avatars, such as hats, shirts, and pants. Here is where you may learn more about them.


Do I Have To Register For An Account?

Not always, but it would be beneficial. Some games (like Phantom Forces and Lumber Tycoon 2) ask you to log in if they discover your Roblox account using their session API or OAuth application. If this is the case, you should be able to access the Free Play mode of these games without creating an account, but only while your credentials are being confirmed.

How do I get started?

To log in to Roblox, go to this page and click the "Log In" button at the bottom right of the screen. It will then turn into a "Sign In" button and take you to the screen where you log in. If this doesn't happen, press Ctrl+F5 to reload the page.


Is Roblox Safe?

Short answer: yes. But there's a little more to it than that. The service does a lot to make sure its users are safe, but there are many things you can do to make sure you are safe and private while you play. Here are some tips and tricks that will help you stay as safe as possible on Roblox.


Precautions

Use a username that doesn't reveal your real name. This is pretty standard for online services, but it's worth saying again. Not only will a unique username stop people from impersonating you, but it will also keep people from finding out who you really are. Usernames on Roblox don't have to be unique, so if you want, you can just pick one at random from the list of users.

Keep your account safe. This is more important than it sounds. Your password should always be hard to guess, and you should never give it to anyone, even if they say they work for the service. Roblox doesn't have two-factor authentication yet, so use an email address that you only use for your Roblox account and keep it secret.


Choose the right browser. You can learn more about how different browsers handle privacy here, but in general, I would recommend Google Chrome or Firefox. Internet Explorer isn't the best choice here, but if you have to use it, you can make it safer by using the In Private browsing feature.
