The whole point of paid bot hosting is that it does not go to sleep.
Never idles out
Free tiers suspend your process after inactivity and your bot shows offline. This one does not.
Auto-restart on crash
If your bot throws and dies, it comes back up without you noticing.
Any language
Node.js, Python and Java — discord.js, discord.py, JDA and the rest.
Live console and SFTP
Deploy and debug the way you would locally, with real output to read.
Cheaper than a VPS
For one bot, considerably. A VPS makes sense once you are running several services.
Germany and New York
The same Zen 4 fleet as our game servers. Those are the only two regions we run.
How much RAM does a Discord bot need?
512MB is enough for most bots. Music bots and bots caching a lot of guild state want 1024MB.
A typical command-and-response bot on a handful of servers sits comfortably in 512MB. What pushes memory up is caching — holding member lists, message history or voice state for many guilds — and audio processing. If your bot plays music in several servers at once, start at 1024MB.
Will my bot go to sleep if nobody uses it?
No. It runs continuously until you stop it, and restarts automatically if it crashes.
This is the main difference from free hosting tiers, which idle your process out after a period of inactivity and cause your bot to appear offline. Your bot here is a persistent process on the same infrastructure as our game servers.
Which languages and libraries can I run?
Node.js, Python and Java bots are all supported — discord.js, discord.py, JDA and the rest.
You get full SFTP access to upload your code and a live console to watch output and errors, so you deploy and debug the same way you would locally.
Discord Bot hosting questions
Common questions about hosting a Discord bot with us.
How much is Discord bot hosting per month?
Plans start at $0.75/month for 256MB of RAM. 512MB is $1.25, 768MB is $1.75 and 1024MB is $2.00.
Can I host a music bot?
Yes. Music bots use more memory than command bots because of audio processing and voice state, so we would suggest the 1024MB tier if you are playing in several servers at once.
Does my Discord bot stay online 24/7?
Yes. It runs as a persistent process and does not idle out, and it restarts automatically if it crashes.
Can I use my own code and dependencies?
Yes. You get full SFTP access and a console, so you upload your own project and install its dependencies as normal.
Is Discord bot hosting cheaper than a VPS?
For a single bot, yes — considerably. A VPS makes sense once you are running several services or need root access; for one bot it is more machine than you need.
Where are your Discord bot servers hosted?
Germany and New York. Germany runs AMD Ryzen 7 7700 with 192GB DDR5; New York runs AMD EPYC 4244P.
