**TL;DR:** Production bot hosting needs 99.9% uptime, auto-restart, session backups, monitoring alerts, and isolated environments — not just a cheap VPS.

Running a bot on your laptop works for testing — not for production. Here's what production hosting requires.

## Essential requirements

- **99.9%+ uptime** with health checks every minute

- **Automatic restart** on crash or OOM

- **Session file backup** — losing a Pyrogram session can lock users out

- **Isolated environments** per client or per bot

- **Log aggregation** for debugging payment and auth issues

## Why VPS alone isn't enough

A raw VPS without monitoring means you discover downtime when customers complain. Managed hosting includes alerting, updates, and someone who answers at 2 AM.

BDBOTS [bot hosting](/services/bot-hosting) includes all of the above with optional dedicated resources for high-traffic bots.
