Discord bots

Awake around the clock

Your bot, running on the same machine as our game servers, with the same console and the same file manager.

Bot hosting opens shortly. We are finishing the tooling that keeps one noisy bot from affecting anybody else on the machine, which is the part most hosts skip and everyone else pays for. The prices below are the real ones. Come and claim a slot in Discord and you will be first in when it opens.
Bot plans

Three sizes, because bots are small

Almost every Discord bot is tiny. We would rather sell you the one that fits than invent five tiers to make the middle one look sensible.

Whiteout

For bots doing real work: many servers, a database, image or audio processing.

$6/mo

Billed monthly, cancel anytime

  • 1 GB RAM
  • Up to 1 core
  • 10 GB NVMe
  • Python or Node
  • Always on, restarted if it crashes
  • Daily backups, 3 kept

Opening soon — first come, first served

Avalanche

For a bot that has outgrown one machine's worth of attention: hundreds of servers, heavy media work, or a cache it cannot afford to lose.

$11/mo

Billed monthly, cancel anytime

  • 2 GB RAM
  • Up to 2 cores
  • 20 GB NVMe
  • Python or Node

If you do not know which you need, take Flurry. A command-and-moderation bot in discord.py or discord.js sits comfortably under 200 MB. Whiteout is for bots that hold a database, process images or audio, or serve a lot of servers at once. Moving up later does not disturb your files.

Why there is no free bot tier

Our free Minecraft plan works because an empty server sleeps, and a sleeping server costs us almost nothing. A bot cannot sleep — nothing connects to it, and it has to hold its connection to Discord open to hear anything at all. A free bot would mean giving away memory permanently, so we would rather charge $3 than offer a free plan that quietly gets throttled.

Your token is yours

A bot token is a full takeover of your bot if it leaks, so it goes in an environment variable rather than in your code. Be aware that anyone you give access to your server in the panel can read it — that is how the panel works, and we would rather you knew than found out. If it ever leaks, regenerate it in the Discord developer portal immediately.

What you can and cannot run

Bots that serve your community: yes. Self-bots, mass-DM tools, token checkers, scrapers, proxies and miners: no, and we will suspend for it without much ceremony. This is not boilerplate — that kind of abuse is the single thing most likely to get this product shut down for everyone.

Straight answers

Questions worth asking first

How does my code get onto the server?#

Either upload it through the file manager in the panel, or give us a public Git URL and we clone it. Dependencies come from your requirements.txt or package.json, installed when the server is built and again whenever you ask for a reinstall.

What happens when my bot crashes?#

It gets restarted automatically, and the crash stays in the console log so you can actually read what happened. A bot that dies quietly at 3am and is still dead at lunchtime is the main thing people are paying to avoid.

How will I know if something goes wrong?#

Straight away, on the status page, and from a person rather than a form letter. Your bot restarts itself if it crashes, and anything needing attention at our end gets it from someone who is already looking at the machine.

Can I run something that is not a Discord bot?#

Ask us. The plan is a Python or Node process that stays running, so plenty of things fit — a scheduled task, a small worker. What does not fit is anything needing an inbound web address, because we do not offer that yet. Websites are a separate thing we have not built.

Why should I trust a small host with this?#

You should trust us exactly as far as this page earns it. We are telling you the product is not open, why it is not open, and that we have no uptime guarantee. If a host is willing to be dull and specific about its limits before taking your money, that is usually a better signal than a page full of badges.

Want one when it opens?

Tell us what your bot does and roughly how big it is. We will let you know when we can take it, and say so plainly if it is not a good fit.
