HostDC

Python Discord bot hosting

HostDC runs Python 3.12 and 3.13 bots online 24/7, on a free plan with a 256 MB RAM pool, 0.5 CPU and 512 MB storage. We install your requirements, start your entry file and supervise the process.

Three steps

1. Bring your project. Put a requirements.txt next to your entry file:

requirements.txt
main.py

import os

print("Logged in as", os.environ.get("HOSTDC_BOT_ID"))

2. Add your token on the Secrets tab. It arrives as os.environ["DISCORD_TOKEN"].

3. Press Deploy. We install your requirements, run python main.py and stream the console. Set a different entry file on the Settings tab if yours is named otherwise.

Limits you should know

The free plan gives a 256 MB RAM pool, 0.5 CPU and 512 MB storage, and needs reactivating weekly. Mini, Lite, Pro and Max are the paid plans: Lite is $1.69 a month with a 1 GB pool and daily backups. Pro is $2.49 a month with a 2 GB pool. The pricing page lists the differences.

Any PyPI package installs through our proxy, which checks each version against the known-malicious list and its published checksum. Nothing installs at runtime, and installed packages count toward your storage.

FAQ

Which Python versions are available?

3.12 and 3.13. New bots default to 3.13.

Can I use a virtualenv or Poetry?

We build the environment for you from requirements.txt. Export a requirements file from Poetry and commit it.

Is asyncio fine on half a CPU?

Yes. A typical gateway bot spends its time waiting on the socket, not burning CPU.

What if a package will not install?

The build log says why: a known-malicious version, a checksum mismatch, a file over the size limit, or no wheel for your Python version. Pin another version, or open a support ticket if you think the refusal is wrong.
