24/7 Telegram Bot Hosting
French Linux VPS for 24/7 Telegram bots: Telegraf, python-telegram-bot, aiogram.
Starting at €4.99/mo
Introduction
Host your Telegram bots 24/7 on a French Linux VPS at By-Hoster. Works with Telegraf (Node.js), python-telegram-bot, aiogram, GramJS and any other library that talks to the official Telegram Bot API.
Telegram puts less load on infra than Discord: simple long polling or an HTTPS webhook is enough. By-Hoster offers Linux KVM VPS with root SSH access, Node.js and Python available, automatic Let's Encrypt SSL (useful for webhooks) and a dedicated IPv4 for high-volume bots.
Technical stack: Linux Ubuntu 22.04 or Debian 12, Node.js 22 LTS or Python 3.11+, PM2 or systemd for 24/7, optionally Redis for cache and task queues, PostgreSQL for user storage. DC-FR_NA(01) datacenter in Nouvelle-Aquitaine, real human 24/7 support. From €4.99/mo.

Frequently asked questions
Python 3.11+, virtualenv, python-telegram-bot or aiogram, with a systemd service for 24/7 uptime.
Long polling: easy to set up, works behind NAT, ideal for small or medium bots. The bot polls Telegram regularly (~1 req/sec). HTTPS webhook: better performance, Telegram pushes updates over HTTP POST to your server. Needs a public IP and valid SSL (Let's Encrypt). Recommended for high-traffic bots (>100 msg/min).
1) Get a valid SSL cert (certbot). 2) Configure your /webhook endpoint in your framework (Express, FastAPI, etc.). 3) Register the webhook: curl -F "url=https://yourdomain.com/webhook" https://api.telegram.org/bot<TOKEN>/setWebhook. 4) Check: curl https://api.telegram.org/bot<TOKEN>/getWebhookInfo. Updates now arrive via push.
The Bot API caps files at 50 MB on upload (up to 2 GB via the MTProto API with GramJS/Telethon). For bots that handle heavy media (videos, archives), use GramJS or Telethon with a dedicated user account. Our NVMe VPS and 1 Gbps bandwidth handle uploads without issue.
Several layers: 1) Native rate limiting from Telegram (30 outbound msg/sec maximum). 2) Whitelist/blacklist users in code (Redis for persistence). 3) Anti-bot captchas at sign-up. 4) fail2ban server-side to block malicious IP scans. 5) Infrastructure Anti-DDoS included on By-Hoster.
Recommended tools: PM2 for real-time CPU/RAM (pm2 monit) and logs (pm2 logs), Sentry (free tier 5k events/mo) for application errors, Uptime Kuma (self-hostable) for bot availability, BotFather statistics for Telegram-side metrics. Our support team includes a monitoring checklist.
