How to Keep Your render or replit Projects Online 24/7 with hosting.aifordiscord.xyz

🚀 How to Keep Your render or replit Projects Online 24/7 with hosting.aifordiscord.xyz

If you're hosting bots, APIs, or websites on Render.com for free, you've probably noticed they go to sleep after a few minutes of inactivity. That results in cold starts and delays, especially when you need your project most.

In this guide, I’ll show you how to keep your Render.com project alive 24/7 using a free service called hosting.aifordiscord.xyz, built specifically for developers and bot makers.

🧠 Why Render.com Puts Projects to Sleep

Render’s free web services are excellent for small apps and bots, but they come with limitations:

  • Apps go to sleep after 15 minutes of inactivity
  • First request after sleep = cold start lag
  • Limited monthly usage

This isn't great for bots, APIs, or uptime-critical tools — so we need a workaround.

🌐 What Is hosting.aifordiscord.xyz?

hosting.aifordiscord.xyz is a free uptime and pinging tool made for developers using services like Render, Replit, Railway, etc.

🔥 Features:

  • Pings your app every 5 minutes
  • Keeps Render projects awake 24/7
  • 0% downtime (compared to UptimeRobot's limits)
  • Easy to use, no signup required
  • Built for bot developers by @aifordiscord

🛠️ How to Use It

✅ 1. Deploy Your App on Render

If you haven’t already:

  • Visit render.com
  • Create a Web Service
  • Connect your GitHub repo or use a Dockerfile
  • Deploy and get your URL Example: https://your-app.onrender.com

✅ 2. Add Your URL to hosting.aifordiscord.xyz

  1. Go to hosting.aifordiscord.xyz
  2. Enter your URL (e.g., https://your-app.onrender.com)
  3. Click Submit
  4. Done! Your project is now pinged every 5 minutes 🚀

You can add multiple URLs, and there’s no account or email required.

🧪 Bonus Tip: Use a /ping or /health Endpoint

If you're running an API or bot backend, it’s a good idea to expose a lightweight route like /ping:

app.get('/ping', (req, res) => {
  res.status(200).send("Bot is alive!");
});
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Then you can add this to the pinger:

https://your-app.onrender.com/ping
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

💡 Why It's Better Than UptimeRobot

While UptimeRobot is great, it:

  • Requires account setup
  • Has a 5-minute minimum interval
  • Limits monitors on free plan
  • Sometimes misses requests

On the other hand:

  • hosting.aifordiscord.xyz has 0% downtime
  • No login, no limits, no fluff
  • Built by the dev community for devs 👨‍💻

💬 Final Thoughts

If you want your Render project to stay awake 24/7 with zero cost, hosting.aifordiscord.xyz is the way to go. It's simple, fast, and optimized for bots and webhooks.

Try it now, and say goodbye to cold starts forever 🔥
