One-line takes

  • discordbothost: Discord-only host; flat $0.99 / $1.99 / $3.49 plans with 512 MB / 1 GB / 2 GB, no renewal on paid plans, push-to-deploy from GitHub, crash alerts in Discord, and separate outgoing addresses for free and paid bots. Offers Node.js, Python, Java, Bun, Go and Rust runtimes.
  • Sparked Host: very close on price ($1.00 for 512 MB) with more runtimes; backups and dedicated IPs are paid extras.
  • fps.ms: the cheapest tiny plan (€0.59 for 128 MB); a €3 minimum top-up applies to paid plans.
  • bot-hosting.net: the biggest runtime list (Node, Python, Java, PHP, Go, Rust, C++, Lua, Bun), pooled resources across deployments, frequent backups; paid starts at $2.29.
  • FadeHost: GitHub-first, with Dockerfile support and every bot getting 1 GB from $2.
  • PebbleHost: 1 GB with a free MySQL database and 7-day backups for $3.
  • Fly.io: Docker machines billed per second; good if you're comfortable with a CLI.
  • Railway: the smoothest general platform; a bot running all month costs memory and CPU time on top of the $5 plan once usage passes the included $5.
  • Heroku: Basic at $7 is always on; Eco web dynos sleep after 30 minutes idle.
  • Render: great for web apps; background workers have no free tier.

How we'd pick

  1. Small bot, no budget: a free bot host. Compare renewal rules in free hosting compared.
  2. Small bot, wants no chores: a $1–3 paid bot host. discordbothost Starter at $0.99 removes weekly renewal. Backups are available: manual on Free, daily and manual on paid plans.
  3. Music or a large bot: 1–2 GB of RAM. discordbothost Pro ($1.99, 1 GB) or Plus ($3.49, 2 GB); Lavalink runs on your own eligible plan.
  4. Bot plus web dashboard plus database in many languages: a general platform such as Railway or Fly.io, or a VPS.

Why discordbothost is our pick for most bots

  • Price: the lowest always-on 512 MB plan we found, and yearly billing at $9.99.
  • No surprises: flat prices, no usage meter, no sleep, no renewal once paid.
  • Built for Discord: templates for discord.js, discord.py and JDA; Bots restart automatically after a crash. Repeated crashes pause restarts; check the console before starting again. Paid plans post a crash alert to your Discord channel.
  • Rate-limit hygiene: free and paid bots leave from different shared addresses with per-tier connection limits (explained).
  • Fast to start: sign in with Discord, Google or email, pick a template, add your token.

Honest limits: one bot per plan, card payments only, and no shell or API yet. If you need those, the table above shows who has them.

Backups are available: manual on Free, daily and manual on paid plans.

Questions

What is the best Discord bot hosting?

For most hobby and community bots, a dedicated Discord bot host beats a general cloud platform: flat monthly prices, no sleeping, and Discord templates. discordbothost is the lowest-priced always-on option we found at $0.99/month for 512 MB with backup slots when available, plus a free 256 MB tier. Developers who want any language and usage billing often pick Railway or Fly.io.

What is the cheapest Discord bot hosting?

Among the hosts checked on , discordbothost Starter is $0.99/month for 512 MB, Sparked Host Basic is $1.00/month for 512 MB without backups by default, and fps.ms has a 128 MB plan at €0.59/month. bot-hosting.net starts at $2.29 and PebbleHost at $3.00.

Should I use a VPS instead?

A VPS gives full control but you manage the OS, updates, restarts and security yourself. A bot host handles those for a smaller price; a VPS makes sense once you run many services or need root access.
