Discord bot hosting

Is there free Discord bot hosting with no renewals?

Yes, on FadeHost. One bot free per person: 256 MB of RAM, 3 GB of disk, online 24/7. No credit card, no ads, no coins and nothing to renew.

Every verified account gets one hosted bot free: 256 MB, always on, deployed from GitHub, from a one-click template or from code you upload. No coins to earn, no renewal button to press every day, no sleep timer, no card.

The catches to watch for elsewhere

  • Sleep timers. Free web dynos sleep after minutes without traffic. A sleeping bot is offline, and the keep-alive ping hacks that fight it are fragile and against most hosts' terms.
  • Coins and daily renewals. Some bot hosts make you click a renewal button every day, watch ads or invite friends, or the bot stops. That is a chore with an uptime problem, not hosting.
  • Queue-shared CPU. Free forever tiers where the bot shares an overloaded machine and a slash command takes thirty seconds.
  • Card-required free. Free until the trial ends and the card is charged.

What 256 MB actually runs

Most utility bots idle at 60 to 150 MB: moderation, roles, logging, slash-command tools, welcome messages. The free tier runs them with room to spare. The ready-made music bot runs on it too. What it does not run well: heavy AI bots, and music bots that play all day in several servers at once. A bot that grows into a database (economy, levels, tickets) gets a managed MySQL, PostgreSQL, MongoDB or Redis one click away, the first one free.

Free bots get a web address that sleeps when nobody opens it and wakes on the next visit; paid tiers keep it always on.

Five minutes to a free bot

  1. Create the account, no card.
  2. Host a bot: pick a template (role menus, logging, levels, tickets, a game server status bot) with just your token, connect GitHub and choose your repository, or upload your code.
  3. Set DISCORD_TOKEN as an environment variable and deploy. The live console shows the bot coming up.
  4. Push to GitHub any time; the bot redeploys itself.

When it is time to pay

Starter is $2 a month for one bot with 1 GB, Standard $3 for two bots with 1.5 GB each, Pro $6 for four bots with 2 GB each. Paid tiers build any language (Go, Java, PHP, Ruby, Rust, .NET) from the repository, keep the web address always on, and run several bots on one account.

Questions

Is it really free?

Yes: one bot per verified account, 256 MB, always on, no card, no coins, no renewal clicks. Paid tiers start at $2 a month for 1 GB.

Does the free bot sleep?

No. The bot process runs around the clock and restarts if it crashes. Only the free web address sleeps when nobody opens it.

Which languages work on the free tier?

Node.js and Python, detected from the repository. Any other language builds on paid tiers.

Can I run a music bot for free?

Yes. The ready-made music bot runs on the free tier and plays audio links and internet radio in your voice channels. A music bot that plays all day, or in several servers at once, wants a paid plan; see the music bots page for what to expect.

What happens if I stop using it?

A free bot that has been idle for a week gets a notice, then a reminder, and is removed after two weeks so the slot goes to someone else. Starting it again keeps it.
