Frequently asked questions
Why does my bot go offline when I close my laptop?
The bot is a program running on your laptop. When the laptop sleeps or loses internet, the bot stops. Hosting it on a server keeps it running all the time.
Which location is best for a Discord bot?
USA, because it's closest to Discord's own servers, so commands respond faster. Choose India if your bot mainly talks to services hosted in India.
Can I host a Telegram bot or a website too?
Yes. Bot hosting runs Telegram bots, APIs and Node.js or Python web apps. Use an extra port with a free HTTPS link for websites.
My bot keeps going offline. What should I check?
Usually it's a crash in the code or the plan running out of memory. See My bot keeps going offline.
