Bot Hosting
Bot hosting refers to cloud-based platforms and services that provide the infrastructure to deploy, run, and manage automated software agents (bots), such as chatbots, Discord bots, or web scraping bots. These services handle server provisioning, scaling, monitoring, and maintenance, allowing developers to focus on bot logic rather than infrastructure management. They typically offer features like uptime guarantees, automated backups, and integration with messaging platforms or APIs.
Developers should use bot hosting when building bots that require reliable, scalable, and cost-effective infrastructure without the overhead of managing servers themselves. It's essential for production-grade bots that need high availability, such as customer support chatbots on websites or community moderation bots on platforms like Discord, where downtime can disrupt user interactions. It also simplifies deployment for bots that handle variable workloads, like those responding to real-time events or seasonal traffic spikes.
