Deploy Bot VPS From $15.59/mo · 1 GB RAM is enough for most bots

Quick start: discord.js bot under systemd

Tested on Ubuntu 24. Pick a 1 GB+ plan, deploy, SSH in.

# 1. Install Node 20 (or use nvm, or install Python/Go/Rust if you prefer)
curl -fsSL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_20.x | sudo -E bash -
apt install -y nodejs

# 2. Drop your bot code in /opt/bot
mkdir /opt/bot && cd /opt/bot
# git clone your-bot-repo .   (or scp, or rsync, or upload)
npm ci

# 3. Make it a systemd service so it auto-restarts on crash and reboot

Why a VPS beats free bot hosting

No idle-sleep

Replit/free Heroku-likes sleep your bot on inactivity. A VPS runs 24/7. Slash commands respond in milliseconds, always.

Stable IP

Discord throttles new IPs. A dedicated VPS IP keeps you off cold-start rate limits and avoids "you must reverify" loops.

Real CPU and RAM

Music bots, AI bots, image-processing bots all need real resources. Free tiers cap you at 256-512 MB and shared CPU.

Persistent disk

Free tiers wipe disk on restart. A VPS keeps your SQLite DB, logs, and cached assets across reboots.

Multiple bots, one VPS

Host 5-10 small bots on the same 1-2 GB VPS. systemd or Docker keeps them isolated.

Anonymous & cheap

No email, no card-on-file required. Crypto-first checkout. Cheaper per month than most "free with limits" tiers if you stay all year.

Frequently asked questions

Will 1 GB RAM be enough?

For 95% of bots, yes. Slash command bots, moderation bots, utility bots, fan-club bots all run on a few hundred MB. Music bots that decode multiple voice streams want 2 GB. AI/LLM bots want 2-4 GB minimum.

Can I run a music bot?

Yes. ffmpeg + lavalink + a Discord library all run fine. 2 GB is comfortable for a single guild; bigger fanouts want more.

Will my bot survive a reboot?

With systemd or Docker --restart=unless-stopped, yes. The bot starts on boot and self-restarts on crash. We recommend setting up systemd from day one.

Can I host multiple bots on the same VPS?

Yes. One systemd unit per bot, or use Docker Compose. Resource isolation is good enough for 5-20 small bots on a 2 GB box.

How do I deploy updates?

rsync or git pull + systemctl restart. Or hook a CI service to ssh in and redeploy on git push. The whole flow takes about 15 minutes to set up.

What about Discord rate limits?

Use the official libraries (discord.js, discord.py, JDA, DSharpPlus). They handle rate limits for you. Avoid hitting Discord's API in tight loops.

Can I host on a US/EU/SG location for latency?

Yes. Servury has 7 locations. Pick the one closest to most of your users for the lowest API and gateway round-trip.

Does Servury log my bot traffic?

No. No application-level logging on customer servers. Anonymous signup, crypto/card payment, no logs.
