How it works

From clicking to running in under a minute

What happens between checkout and a running bot.

The steps

Choose a plan

Pick a size. Most bots fit on Flurry, which is free for seven days. Nothing is built until you start, and you can move up later without losing anything.

Your server gets built

Your own space on the machine, with your own filesystem and your plan's limits enforced on it. Nobody, including you, can exceed theirs.

under a minute

We put a fence around it

It cannot send email, reach the machine underneath, or touch anyone else's server. Where each server connects out to is recorded, so complaints are answerable.

Your code goes on

Connect a GitHub repository in the panel, or upload your files in the file manager or over SFTP. A new server starts with a small example bot so you can see it answer first. Packages install from requirements.txt or package.json, and you watch it happen in the console, with no spinner hiding whether it worked.

Add your token and press Start

Paste your Discord bot token into the Bot token box on the Startup tab (it is kept out of your files), press Start, and your bot is online. If it crashes it starts again, and the console shows why.

Backups just happen

Everything you have is copied every day and the last three days are kept. Putting one back is a single click, which you will be glad of eventually.

Under the hood

What your traffic touches

Traffic reaches an address, that address reaches our machine, and what you run is walled off from every other tenant on it.

1 · Someone connects

Players use a normal address, and a bot reaches Discord the same way it always would. Nothing in between rewrites it or slows it down: a bot is an ordinary program talking to Discord, and a game server is an ordinary game server.

2 · Attacks filtered

Traffic crosses our host's network first, which drops floods aimed at knocking your server offline before they ever reach the machine.

3 · Your server

It arrives at your server and nowhere else. The servers either side of yours are sealed off, with no way to reach each other.

Every server is isolated from the others, and DDoS filtering is included on every plan.

Upgrading keeps everything

Changing plan just lifts the limits on the server you already have. Your files, settings and address all stay exactly as they were. Nothing to download, nothing to re-upload, no new address to send round.

Napping and waking

A server can be set to stop when the last person leaves and start again when someone tries to join, taking a few seconds. It is off by default and every plan runs around the clock unless you ask for it. Either way nothing is ever deleted.

Who runs this

SnowServers is run by Omur, who built the platform and looks after the servers and support. It has hosted Discord bots since August 2026.

Say hello in the Discord or send a message.

That is the whole process
