Everything you need to know before you deploy your first bot on C1Compute.

C1Compute is a premium bot hosting platform built for developers. We provide enterprise-grade infrastructure — EPYC CPUs, NVMe storage, and a 99.99% uptime target — with a deploy flow that runs entirely through Discord.
Any bot written in Node.js, Python, Java, Go, Rust, Bun, Deno, or shipped as a Docker container. Discord bots, Telegram bots, game bots, and background workers are all supported.
Yes. The Free tier includes 256 MB RAM, 0.5 vCore, and 3 GB NVMe SSD — enough to run a small bot indefinitely, with no credit card required.
No. Deployment runs entirely through Discord commands or a Git push. You never need to SSH into a server or write systemd units.
A VPS gives you an empty Linux box — you manage the OS, the runtime, the process manager, and the recovery. C1Compute gives you a purpose-built bot runtime with automatic restarts, backups, monitoring, and a Discord-native workflow out of the box.
Yes. Agencies and freelancers host client bots on C1Compute — each bot gets isolated resources, its own environment variables, and can be transferred to the client's account when handoff is ready.
Yes. Realtime status, historical uptime, and incident post-mortems are published publicly. Every incident is disclosed within 15 minutes of detection.
Yes. Discord.js runs on our Node.js LTS runtime out of the box, with automatic restarts and hot-reload on redeploy.
Yes. Python 3.10+ is supported, including discord.py, py-cord, and any pip-installable dependency.
Yes. Any Docker image builds and runs natively on our infrastructure — bring the exact environment you develop against.
The latest LTS and current release lines are both available. You can pin to a specific version through your package.json engines field.
Yes. Both Bun and Deno are first-class runtimes — deploy a single index.ts and we handle the rest.
Yes. The JVM runtime supports JDA, Kord, Discord4J, and any Maven or Gradle build. Just push and we compile on our side.
Yes. Native builds run bare-metal on our nodes with no container overhead — ideal for latency-sensitive workloads.
On Plus and above, yes. Bring any public or private registry image and we'll pull, verify, and run it.
Absolutely. Deploy directly from Git, upload a zip, or push through the browser console. Environment variables and secrets are handled securely.
Most bots are live in under 30 seconds. Larger dependency trees or Docker builds may take up to a minute.
Yes. Every deploy is versioned — one command reverts your bot to any previous release without downtime.
Yes. Secrets are encrypted at rest and injected only at runtime. You can manage them from Discord or via Git-ignored .env files.
Yes. Connect GitHub, GitLab, or Bitbucket with a deploy key and we'll pull on every push to your chosen branch.
Yes. Enable auto-deploy per branch and every push builds, tests, and rolls out a new release with zero downtime.
Yes. Define cron expressions in your bot config or through Discord commands — they run in the same isolated environment as your bot.
Logs stream live to Discord and to the browser console, with 7 days of history on Free and up to 90 days on higher tiers. Full-text search is included.
Yes. Move between any plan at any time — resources are re-provisioned instantly with no downtime.
Credit and debit cards, PayPal, and most major cryptocurrencies. Enterprise accounts can pay by invoice.
Yes. If something isn't right within your first 7 days on a paid plan, contact us on Discord and we'll issue a full refund.
No. The price you see is the price you pay — bandwidth, backups, and console access are included on every plan.
Yes. Pause any paid plan for up to 30 days at a time — your data and configuration are preserved.
Yes. Students, non-profits, and maintainers of open-source bots can apply for a 50% discount on any paid plan.
Yearly billing is coming soon with a two-month discount. Existing monthly subscribers can switch anytime once it launches.
Every plan includes at least one snapshot. Plus and above receive daily automated backups with one-click restore.
AMD EPYC and Ryzen CPUs with enterprise NVMe SSDs, DDR4 ECC memory, and redundant 10Gbps networking across every node.
We operate in multiple regions across North America and Europe, with more coming online. You can pin your bot to a specific region for latency-sensitive workloads.
Yes. Every node sits behind enterprise DDoS protection with automatic mitigation — included on every plan at no extra cost.
We target 99.99% monthly uptime. Status and historical incidents are published live on our status page.
Yes. Every bot runs in its own hardened container with dedicated CPU, memory, and disk quotas — never shared with another workspace.
Yes. Managed PostgreSQL and Redis are one command away — provisioned in the same region as your bot with automatic backups.
Yes. Outbound connections to any public database — Supabase, PlanetScale, MongoDB Atlas, or a self-hosted Postgres — are fully supported.
Bots automatically failover to a healthy node within seconds. Persistent storage is replicated so no data is lost.
Yes. Every bot has an IPv6 endpoint by default, and you can attach a custom domain with a free managed TLS certificate.
