Use case
Run your Discord bot on your own VPS
A bot that stays online needs a machine that never sleeps. Rent a Linux VPS from us, install Node.js, Python or Docker from the panel and run your bot on it around the clock.
We don't offer Discord bot hosting
VMSky is not a bot hosting service: we don't upload, set up, run or look after your bot. You rent a virtual server (VPS) from us and can host your own bot on it yourself. Setting it up and keeping it running is up to you.
Recommended sizes
These are our ready-made plans with their current prices. You can also put together a smaller server in the configurator.
One or a few bots (XEON 16G)
More than enough for small and medium bots, with room for a database.
Many bots, Docker or a web dashboard (XEON 32G)
For several bots in Docker containers, a dashboard and a bigger database.
Prices include the IPv4 address, the network port and DDoS protection. Servers are prepaid, nothing renews by itself.

- Node.js, Python and Docker in one click

Guides
- Discord-Bot 24/7 auf dem VPS hosten (Node.js und Python)
Damit dein Bot nicht offline geht, wenn du den PC ausschaltest: Node.js oder Python einrichten, den Token sicher ablegen und den Bot als Dienst laufen lassen.
- Docker und Docker Compose auf Ubuntu 24.04 installieren
Docker aus dem offiziellen Repository installieren, Compose nutzen und die häufigste Falle mit der Firewall vermeiden.
- Per SSH mit deinem Linux-VPS verbinden
Die ersten Schritte auf einem Linux-Server: mit SSH von Windows, Mac oder Linux verbinden, den Fingerabdruck verstehen und die wichtigsten Befehle kennen.
- SSH absichern: Schlüssel, Passwort-Login und Fail2ban
Brute-Force-Versuche auf Port 22 sind Alltag. Mit SSH-Schlüsseln, abgeschaltetem Passwort-Login und Fail2ban machst du deinen Server in zehn Minuten deutlich sicherer.
