Discord bot hosting with Node.js, Python and Java runtimes, 24/7 uptime SLAs.
The rankings are warming up.
Discord (and other) bot hosting needs few resources (typically 256 MB to 1 GB RAM per bot) but 24/7 availability. Specialised hosts offer Node.js, Python, Java, Go, Rust runtimes with auto-restart, uptime monitoring and Git-based deployment. Pick based on your language, storage needs (local DB vs external) and the ability to expose a webhook or HTTP API.
Multiplayer games are mostly single-thread - favour a high CPU clock (4 GHz+) over a high core count. RAM depends on the game: 2-4 GB for 10 Minecraft players, 8-16 GB for 50 Rust players.
A game host bundles panels (Pterodactyl, TCAdmin), mod management, calibrated anti-DDoS and backups - hours of setup saved. A VPS costs less but expects sysadmin skills.
L4/L7 DDoS protection is mandatory - check the absorption capacity in Gbps the host advertises, and favour those who filter upstream without rerouting.
