Questions
Is Space-Node cheaper than PlayNHost?
Yes, for the same RAM, if you pay for 6 months or more: 512 MB is €0.50 a month there, billed €3.00 for 6 months plus a one-time €0.50 setup fee (its page, checked 3 November 2026). At PlayNHost 0.5 GB is €1.99 a month, billed monthly, with backups and a database included.
Does Space-Node have a free plan?
Its page lists a free Starter plan with 64 MB of RAM and 1 GB of storage, out of stock on 3 November 2026. PlayNHost has no free plan; every plan has a 72-hour money-back guarantee.
Are backups included?
At Space-Node, 3 backup slots are an add-on at €1.00 a month, and off-site backups another €1.67 a month. Every PlayNHost bot plan includes 3 backup slots.
Can I run a music bot?
Space-Node suggests its 2 GB XL plan for a Lavalink node next to your bot. 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.
How do I move my bot from Space-Node 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.
