Bot hosting

Bot hosting overview

Your Discord bot runs around the clock on our servers, and you look after it from its page in the Portal: the files, the console, its token, backups and schedules are all there. There is nothing else to sign in to.

What you get #
One bot Each plan runs one bot
Language Node.js 24 or Python 3.13, chosen when you order
Memory Your plan's figure. A bot that goes over it is stopped and started again
Storage Your plan's figure, for the bot's files. Backups do not count against it
Processor In step with your plan's memory: more memory, more processor. The cores are shared with other bots on the same server
Backups As many as your plan says. Some plans have none
Schedules Up to ten per bot: a restart or a backup at a time of day

Your bot's page in the Portal has these tabs: Overview, Console, Files, Variables, Backups, Schedules, Manage, Billing and Activity.

Getting started #

  1. Order a bot plan and pick its language.
  2. We set it up and email you when it is ready. Its page then opens in the Portal under Services.
  3. A new bot is stopped, with an empty folder. Upload your bot.
  4. Put your Discord token in the Variables tab.
  5. Press Start and watch the Console.

What a bot cannot do #

The bot runs in a box of its own, so that one customer's bot can never reach another's. A few things follow from that:

  • Nothing can connect to your bot from the internet. It has no address of its own and no open ports, so it cannot serve a website, a dashboard or an HTTP interactions endpoint. A bot that connects out to Discord's gateway, which is how almost every bot works, is fine.
  • It cannot send email directly. The mail ports are blocked. Use an email provider's HTTP API if your bot sends mail.
  • It cannot reach other bots or our servers. Only the internet.
  • There is no SSH or SFTP. Files go in through the Files tab.

Changing the language #

The language is set when you order. To change it, use Reinstall on the Manage tab: it empties the bot's folder and sets it up again in the other language. Your backups are kept.

If you cancel #

Your bot keeps running until the end of the time you have paid for. It is then deleted, with its files and its backups. Take a copy of anything you want to keep before then.
