The short answer

Discord bot hosting keeps your bot process running all day so it answers commands and events at any hour. A bot connects out to Discord with its bot token, so you do not open game ports. Upload your code, set the token as an environment variable, and start it from the panel.

Minimum RAM: 2 GB
Comfortable: 2-4 GB
Guide: Most bots use far less than 1 GB. Large bots with caching, music or many servers can use more. Our smallest plan suits most bots.

Always online

Your bot runs on a server, not your laptop, so it stays online 24/7.

Console and restarts

Watch logs in the live console, and restart or stop the bot from the panel.

File manager and SFTP

Upload code, package.json or requirements.txt, and edit files in the browser.

Backups

Keep your code and data safe with daily backups and one-click restore.

What does a Discord bot need to run?

A bot needs a running process, an internet connection, and its bot token from the Discord Developer Portal. Bots connect outbound to Discord's gateway, so you do not forward any ports.

Keep the token out of your code: set it as an environment variable in the panel, and never commit it to a public repository.

Node.js and Python bots

The two most common stacks are discord.js on Node.js and discord.py on Python. Upload your project, install dependencies, and set the start command in the panel.

Growing your bot

Bots in a few servers need very little. As your bot grows, watch memory in the console. Discord requires sharding once a bot is in around 2,500 servers, and larger bots may also want a database.
