Discord Bot Hosting for Game Communities
Your game server has a Discord. Keep its bot online in the same place you keep the server online: managed, always on, and looked after by the people who already run your community's world.
- Runs 24/7, no sleeping
- Moderation, music, server status
- Same panel as your game server
- Backups included
Plans
Billed quarterly or yearly. At this price a monthly plan costs more in card fees and admin than it returns, so we do not pretend to offer one. The yearly price is the one we would actually want you on, and it is cheaper.

What you actually get
| Always on | The bot process runs continuously. It does not idle out or spin down between commands, which is the usual failure of free tiers. |
|---|---|
| Your bot or ours | Upload your own Node.js or Python bot, or start from a ready-made community bot with moderation, welcome messages, reaction roles and a live game-server status panel. |
| Live server status | If you host a game server with us, the bot can post its status, player count and restarts into your Discord without you wiring anything up. |
| Same panel | Console, logs, file access and restart, in the panel you already use for your game server. |
| Backups | Config and data backed up on the same schedule as our game servers. |
| Token handling | Your bot token is a credential. It is stored as an environment secret, not in a file we display, and it is never shown back in the panel or in logs. |
Should you just self-host it?
Honestly, sometimes yes. If you write your own bots and already own a Raspberry Pi, a spare mini PC or a VPS, that is a perfectly good place to run one and it costs you nothing extra. Plenty of bot developers do exactly that, and we would rather say so than sell you something you do not need.
This is for the other case: you run a game community, the Discord matters to it, and you do not want a second machine at home to babysit. When the power goes out, when the SD card wears out, or when the person who set it up leaves the community, the bot goes with it. That is the problem we are selling a fix for, not raw compute.
Questions
Why is there no monthly plan?
Because at a few dollars a month, card processing takes a double-digit percentage of it and one support email costs more than a year of the plan. We would rather offer a quarterly and a yearly price we can actually stand behind than a monthly one we would quietly need to skimp on.
Can it host a bot I wrote myself?
Yes, Node.js or Python. You get console output and file access, the same as a game server.
Is my bot token safe?
It is stored as an environment secret rather than a file in your directory, and it is not echoed back in the panel or written to logs. If you would rather not hand a token to anyone at all, self-hosting is the right answer and we said so above.
What is not allowed?
Crypto mining, model training and anything else that is really a compute job wearing a bot costume. These plans are sized for a bot, and that is what they are for.
When can I get one?
Not yet. This page is how we find out whether enough people want it before we build it. Reserve a price and we will email you when it exists. Nothing is charged now, and nothing is charged automatically later.
Already running a game server with us? Your community's bot belongs next to it. If you are not yet, start with the game server and add the bot when it opens.
