A server for Telegram and Discord bots

1,814 servers from 53 providers, from €3.06 a month. Prices checked 5 hours ago

A Telegram or Discord bot is a small program that has to stay online: when your laptop sleeps, the bot stops answering. A VPS keeps it running day and night for the price of a coffee. Most bots, written with aiogram, python-telegram-bot, discord.js or discord.py, use well under a gigabyte of memory, so this list starts at 1 vCPU and 1 GB and ranks plans by the monthly bill, with the IPv4 address and renewal prices included.

161 servers with IPv6 only are hidden because bills include an IPv4 address. Show them without IPv4

Some links may earn ServerDiff a commission. It never changes the order, which is the bill under the assumptions shown. How we rank

When to choose more: a bot that only answers commands runs on the smallest plan for years. Raise the memory filter to 2 GB if the bot keeps a database such as Postgres on the same server, serves thousands of users, plays music in Discord voice channels or calls a headless browser. Several bots fit on one server; run each in its own Docker container or systemd service so a crash in one does not stop the others.

Polling or webhooks: with long polling, the bot asks Telegram or Discord for new messages and needs no public address at all, so an IPv6-only plan, often the cheapest, works fine. Telegram webhooks need a public HTTPS address; keep the IPv4 address on if you use them. Turn off Public IPv4 in the settings above to see the IPv6-only bills.

What the price tag hides: the smallest plans are where an IPv4 fee or a renewal price weighs most, sometimes doubling the bill after the first term. This list compares the average monthly bill over the period you choose, so a cheap first month does not win on its own.
