Free Bot Hosting Policy

Last Updated: September 18, 2026 | Effective Date: September 18, 2026

Our Core Pledge: No Data Leak • Strict Tenant Privacy

Unlike many free hosts that harvest user tokens, read bot source code, or resell customer telemetry, ARC HOST guarantees 100% cryptographic isolation. Your bot code, .env files, API tokens, and databases are strictly private to your account.

1. Purpose of Free Hosting

ARC HOST provides a permanent free hosting tier to support aspiring developers, student coders, and small gaming communities in launching their first Discord bots without financial barriers. We believe every developer deserves access to high-speed NVMe storage and stable cloud runtimes.

2. Customer Backup Responsibility

While our physical host nodes are protected by RAID enterprise arrays, free tier users are solely responsible for maintaining current local backups of their bot files, configuration, and databases:

3. 24/7 Uptime & Auto-Restart

Free bots hosted on ARC HOST run 24/7 alongside our paid nodes. Our process supervisor monitors your container and automatically revives your bot if it restarts or experiences an unexpected exit, ensuring continuous availability for your Discord members.

4. Inactivity & Container Renewal

To prevent resource waste from abandoned test projects and keep high-capacity servers available for active builders:

5. Prohibited Free Tier Uses

Free containers are designated strictly for lightweight Discord bots, webhooks, and automation scripts. The following uses are strictly forbidden on free containers:

6. Seamless Upgrade Paths

When your Discord bot grows beyond 500+ servers or requires high-bandwidth Lavalink audio streaming, you can upgrade to an enterprise plan seamlessly without losing your database, files, or configurations.
