What a hosted bot is
Your bot gets its own container: a private, isolated space with its own memory, processor share and storage. Inside it, your code runs exactly as it does on your machine, with full network access for the APIs, webhooks and model providers it talks to.
The difference is what surrounds it. The container is watched, restarted if it stops, and kept running around the clock, so the bot answers at four in the morning the same way it does at noon.
From your laptop to always online
Getting a bot hosted takes four steps.
- Pick a plan, create your account and add credit by card through Stripe.
- Deploy your code from a Git repository, a zip file or your own Docker image.
- Add your API keys and tokens as environment variables in the panel.
- Start it. From then on it restarts automatically if it ever crashes.
Why secrets live outside your code
A bot needs credentials: a Discord token, a Telegram token, an API key for a model provider. Written into the code, those end up in your repository, in every copy of it and in any image built from it.
On Puranode you set them as environment variables on the container, in the panel. Your code reads them when it starts. They are never committed to your repository and never baked into an image, and you can change one without touching the code.
What keeps it running
Three things do most of the work.
- Automatic restart: if the process crashes, it is started again without you
- Persistent storage: memory, databases and files survive restarts and new deploys
- Live logs: the console output streams in the panel, so you can see what the bot is doing
What you can run, and what it costs
Anything that runs in a container. Discord bots in discord.js or discord.py, Telegram bots, Claude-powered assistants such as ClawdBot, automation bots such as Hermes, or your own agent in Node, Python, Go or a Docker image.
The Hobby plan runs one bot for €4.99 a month. Standard runs up to three for €9.99 a month and adds persistent storage and environment-variable secrets. Both prices include VAT, with no setup fee and no minimum term. If your bot outgrows its plan, we move it up the same day, during business hours.
