Deployment
On this page, we'll list some options on how to host your bot, including free options!
Self hosting
Either at home or in a data center, these solutions are full managed by you!
Home computer
Nothing really particular here, you can use an old computer or a Raspberry Pi in order to host your bot. With this solution however, you'll be in charge of the uptime and production of your bot.
Discord bot specific hosts
- Sparked (from 1$/month)
- Something Host (from 1.5$/month)
VPS
You can use a VPS (Virtual Private Server) to host your bot.
It is basically a no-GUI remote linux computer on which you connect through SSH.
Here is a sample list of some VPS providers:
- Vultr (from 3.5$/month)
- DigitalOcean (from 4$/month)
CapRover free
Cloud hosting
Railway free
Railway billing is quite particular. In fact, you pay for the resources usage you make.
Then, if your bill of the month is under 5$, it is free.
But if you haven't set a credit card, you'll be limited to 500h of usage per month (~21d). To disable this limit, just register a credit card but take care: if your usage exceed 5$/month, it'll be paid automatically using your card.
Don't worry however, the estimation for a classic discord bot is 3$/month.
