How to host a Discord bot for free

Hosting a Discord bot is actually pretty simple. You don’t need a full VPS or anything complicated—just follow a few quick steps and you’re good to go.

Step 1: Create your bot

If you don’t already have a bot, go to the Discord Developer Portal, create an application, and add a bot to it.

• Open your application
• Go to the Bot section
• Reset token and copy it (you’ll need this later)

Step 2: Create a container

Head over to our panel and create a cloud container. This is where your bot will run.

Step 3: Upload your code

Go to the "Files" tab and upload your bot’s code files.

Step 4: Configure and run

• Go to the Startup tab and set things like versions or start command
• Paste your bot token in the environment variables
• Open the Console tab
• Start your server

That’s it. Your bot should now be running.
