24/7 Discord bot hosting with automatic recovery

Ashburn is one of the largest internet interconnection hubs in the world, and it sits close to infrastructure many major platforms — Discord included — run on. Hosting your bot there keeps the network path between your bot and Discord's gateway short, which shows up as lower, steadier latency on every command.

Health monitoring restarts your bot automatically after a crash, an out-of-memory failure, or a failed health check, with a circuit breaker after repeated attempts so a broken deploy doesn't loop forever.

Any of the nine supported runtimes — Node.js, Python, Go, Java, PHP, C#, Ruby, Elixir, or a custom Docker image — covering discord.js, discord.py, JDA, and most other popular libraries.

discord.js, discord.py, JDA, discordgo, and any other Discord library that runs on one of the supported runtimes.

Yes. FFmpeg is already installed in the application containers. For Lavalink, deploy it as a separate application in the same account and connect your bot to it.

Connect a GitHub repository or upload a ZIP or RAR archive. Shard Cloud detects the runtime and starts the bot automatically, then keeps its files under /app on a free 10 GB persistent disk.

Yes — attach a managed PostgreSQL, MySQL, MongoDB, or Redis database to store guild settings, prefixes, or other bot data, the same way you would for any application.

Yes. Live CPU, memory, and network metrics are available from the application dashboard, and metric alerts (Pro plan and above) can notify you before usage becomes a problem.

Each application receives its own dynamic IPv4 address from our shared pool. That separates outbound Discord API traffic by IP, so another application's abuse does not put your bot behind its Discord IP block. This does not bypass rate limits for your own bot, token or application; your bot should still handle Discord's 429 responses correctly.
