UK VPS optimised for Discord bots - full root, Node.js, always-on uptime from £4.99/mo
About This Game
Setting up ClawdBot on a UK VPS.
ClawdBot VPS Hosting in the UK from Glitch Servers provides dedicated cloud compute with fixed CPU allocation and no resource contention - backed by AMD Ryzen hardware, NVMe Gen4 storage, and UK-native routing through AS212868. A UK VPS is the ideal environment for ClawdBot: you get a fixed IP address, consistent resource allocation, full root access for runtime management, and the reliability of enterprise-grade hardware. Unlike shared hosting or home-run setups, a VPS keeps your bot online through ISP outages, power events, and local hardware failures. Our UK VPS plans start at £4.99/mo - enough for ClawdBot plus several other small services on the same instance.
Performance on Glitch VPS plans is driven by AMD Ryzen 9 7950X processors - single-core clock speeds that handle application workloads, database queries, and concurrent web traffic without the CPU credit limits that cap performance on burstable cloud instances. Storage runs on NVMe Gen4 drives with sequential read speeds of 3,500 MB/s, eliminating the I/O bottleneck that affects VPS plans running on SATA SSD or shared SAN.
Glitch Servers operates AS212868 with direct peering at LINX and LONAP - the London Internet Exchange and London Access Point - providing low-latency paths to BT, Virgin Media, Sky, TalkTalk, and other major UK ISPs without unnecessary Continental European hops. For users connecting across the UK, that translates to consistent single-digit-to-low-double-digit millisecond round-trip times under normal UK network conditions.
Every plan includes Corero Smartwall inline DDoS mitigation operating at the network edge. Traffic scrubbing runs continuously without latency penalty, absorbing volumetric floods before they reach the hypervisor layer. Full plan specifications and pricing are on the UK VPS hosting page.
Why Glitch Servers
Game servers demand high single-core clock speeds, fast storage for map loading, and DDoS protection as standard - not an upsell.

Getting Started
Most servers are online within minutes of ordering.
Deploy a 1 vCPU / 1GB RAM Ubuntu VPS. Install your runtime: for Node.js, use nodesource.com's setup script. For Python, python3 is included by default. Upload your bot files via SFTP.
Install your bot's dependencies and test it runs correctly. Then set up PM2 or systemd for process management. PM2 is simpler for Node.js: npm install -g pm2 && pm2 start bot.js && pm2 save && pm2 startup.
Configure a simple monitoring check - a cron job that pings your bot's health endpoint or a free UptimeRobot monitor. This alerts you if the bot stops responding, independent of the server.
