So archive and delete do the same thing.

im using discordbothosting.com rn

but it is annoying to code on it

you can turn off projects using this post

Thank goodness static sites are not part of this limit, or else I would have died. Technically, aren’t sites built with frameworks like React and Vue considered static, even if they have a package.json?

wdym by that extension?

If they have a package.json, Glitch sees it as a full-stack app, not a static site.

This idea is both good and a ehh. Good because our wonderful Glitch Team saves resources. And a ehh since were limited to only a minimal amount of projects open.

it aint cool when the Glitch Team took away our only means to keep our discord bots awake :confused:

To be fair, Glitch is the service providing the things needed to develop, test and send to github for production, and not the one that you would use for production.

Project Uptime For Glitch Projects! pls help

I’d not recommend buying from them. I just had an interesting chat with the CEO, it is really expensive compared to other services. Instead I would just recommend you setting up a vps with contabo.com. Discord Bot Hosting charge 4 times more than Contabo.

The CEO started getting really aggressive once I started discussing the prices, they also behaved rather like a child once I mentioned contabo’s prices. The representation was rather very unprofessional and I’m very unpleased with their behaviour. I was gonna take some screenshots, but I couldn’t take screenshots of the last messages because they removed it before I had time to take screenshot of it. I got screenshots of the beginning of the chat if you’re interested.

Bots are also hosted on a single server with shared resources not guaranteeing the performance you were promised.

If I was you I’d ask for a refund and hurry away from their services.

where would i code the bot if the vps hosts it?

Generally you would use a git repo to store the code for safe-keeping and a CD (Continous Devlivery) to update the code on your vps. Meaning that making changes to your bot is as easy as pushing code to your git repo.

Personally I use GitLab to store my bots, and I have my own runner setup to update the bot on my VPS whenever I push some changes.

if someone could save us cheap discord bot developers by making a website specifically for hosting bots and coding them similar to glitch :pray:

Well you would still have to pay most places, anyway, if you buy a vps from Contabo I could help you set it up so it will be easy for you to write discord bots on it.
