- Daily snapshots are included on every paid plan, not sold as an add-on.
- Lite ($1.69 a month) is cheaper than FadeHost's 1 GB plan at $2 a month, for the same RAM.
- The free plan has a bigger RAM pool (256 MB against 256 MB) and is not limited to one bot.
- HostDC runs Go as well, and the health card shows the bot's gateway connection.
Where FadeHost is the better fit
- Its free bot needs no coins and no daily renewal clicks.
- It gives more RAM per dollar on bigger plans: 2 GB for $3 a month.
- Its Pro plan is aimed at music bots. HostDC's Pro and Max plans host a Lavalink server next to your bot too, Lite can add one, and Free and Mini connect to one you run elsewhere.
- It deploys from GitHub on every push and offers a web address as an add-on.
