Questions
Is Bot-Hosting.net really free?
Its free plan is: 256 MB of RAM, 25% of a CPU core and one deployment, with no card. Its pricing page says you renew it by hand every 4 days. PlayNHost has no free plan; the smallest bot plan is 0.5 GB at €1.99 a month.
Is PlayNHost cheaper than Bot-Hosting.net?
No. For the same RAM, Bot-Hosting.net's monthly prices are lower even with VAT added: 1 GB is €1.99 before VAT there (its page, checked 3 November 2026) and €2.99 with VAT at PlayNHost. A PlayNHost plan is a server of its own, in the region you pick.
Can I host a music bot?
Bot-Hosting.net offers Lavalink as a one-click service. PlayNHost has JMusicBot and Red as ready-made bots, and a Lavalink node as a plan of its own. Sites such as YouTube change often and can block music bots, so a source that works today may need an update. We keep your server running; we cannot change what a source allows.
Which languages can I use?
Bot-Hosting.net lists Node.js, Python, Java, PHP, Go, Rust, C++, Lua and Bun. PlayNHost runs Node.js 20, 22, 24, 25 or 26, Python 3.10 to 3.14, Java 17, 21 or 25, .NET 6, 8, 9 or 10, Bun, Deno, and compiled Go and Rust bots.
How can I pay?
Bot-Hosting.net takes cards, crypto and prepaid credits. PlayNHost takes cards, Apple Pay, Google Pay, PayPal and Link, and BLIK in zloty.
How do I move my bot from Bot-Hosting.net to PlayNHost?
Download your bot's files from your current host, or keep them in a Git repository. Upload them in the PlayNHost file manager or over SFTP, or connect the repository and press Update from Git, then paste your token on the Bot page and start the bot.
How fast is a PlayNHost bot server ready?
Setup starts as soon as payment clears. You then run everything from the PlayNHost panel: console, files, the Bot page and backups.
Can I change my plan later?
Yes. You can move to a bigger or smaller plan from the panel, and your bot's files stay where they are.
What if PlayNHost is not right for me?
Ask within 72 hours of your first payment and you get your money back.
