discord.py hosting
Python Discord bot hosting
Keep your discord.py bot online 24/7 without maintaining a VPS. Upload the project, add your token securely and control the managed container from one dashboard.
Upload your Python project
Upload a ZIP with bot.py, requirements.txt and your source files. NodeForge installs the listed Python packages before startup.
Protect your Discord token
Store DISCORD_TOKEN and API keys as encrypted environment variables instead of including secrets in Python files.
Read live bot logs
Watch package installation and discord.py output from the browser when debugging commands, cogs or gateway connections.
Managed bot controls
Start, stop and restart the bot without SSH while NodeForge applies the CPU, memory and storage limits of your plan.
How to host a discord.py bot
- 1. Put your startup file and requirements.txt at the root of a ZIP.
- 2. Create a Python bot in NodeForge and select a plan.
- 3. Upload the ZIP and store DISCORD_TOKEN in Environment Variables.
- 4. Select bot.py or your real entry file, apply the configuration and start.

Python hosting questions
Which Python Discord libraries can I use?
Projects install dependencies from requirements.txt, including discord.py, Pycord and other packages your bot requires.
Will the bot run without my computer?
Yes. The bot runs in a managed container on NodeForge infrastructure, so your home computer does not need to stay switched on.
Can I use cogs and multiple Python files?
Yes. Include the whole project in the ZIP and select the correct main startup file.
