Host a Discord Bot for Free on Deplexo
Deploy your Discord bot from GitHub and keep it running 24/7. No cold starts, no sleep timers — your bot stays online.
Why Deplexo for Discord bots
Most free hosting platforms sleep after inactivity. Discord bots need to stay connected to the gateway — a sleeping host means your bot goes offline. Deplexo's free tier is always-on. No sleep, no cold starts. Your bot stays connected.
What you need
- GitHub repo with your bot code.
- Bot token from the Discord Developer Portal.
deplexo.yamlin repo root (optional — auto-detect handles most setups).
Deploy steps
- Push bot code to GitHub.
- Connect repo on Deplexo.
- Add
BOT_TOKENas an environment variable in the dashboard. - Deploy — bot starts automatically on its container.
Example configuration
framework: node
start: node bot.js
port: 3000Port is required even if your bot doesn't serve HTTP. Set it to any value. See the Node.js deploy guide or Python deploy guide for more configuration options.
Resource limits
Free tier: 128 MB RAM, 1 shared CPU, 250 MB disk. Enough for most Discord bots. Upgrade to Starter ($5/mo) for 512 MB if your bot handles heavy workloads. See pricing.
