This is a follow up post to Part I of How to make and host a Discord Bot where I go through the steps to make a simple bot using the discord.py library. In this post, I will conclude the tutorial by explaining how we can host the bot we made in part I. Hosting the Bot We will host the bot on Amazon AWS. Amazon offers a basic plan on EC2 (Elastic Compute Cloud) free for a year!...
