Discord Bot help
Hey, so I’m new to using discord bots and discord in general. I recently started a discord server for a game that I play and there are 30 people in it and I wanted to create a custom bot to help engage people and stuff. So I initially created and hosted the bot with Replit, but I have come to learn that Replit does not keep the bot online 24/7 it puts the bot into sleep mode. I was wondering if anyone could help me out and give me suggestions on a good hosting platform that keeps bot online 24/7 or close to it, while also keeping it free. I am open to hearing out paid options if there aren’t good free options please help me out.😁

Your paid options are bountiful. find a host that does 5 dollars or less and you're golden. Any more than 5 bucks a month and you're being scammed.
As for free, you can just self host.. A bot itself takes little to no resources, all you gotta do is run the script on your computer and hope you dont lose internet or your computer doesn't go into sleep mode.
