Performance without compromise
Every bot runs on NVMe storage with dedicated resources. We do not oversell nodes or share RAM between customers. When you pay for 8 GB, 8 GB is reserved for your containers.
About MelonNode
We are a small team that has been running community infrastructure for years. After frustration with opaque providers and panels that were not built for Discord workloads, we built the platform we wanted to use ourselves.

MelonNode started in 2022 as a straightforward hosting service for small communities. We ran workloads on shared hardware, used a standard panel, and kept prices low. It worked, but it was not the service we wanted to stand behind long-term.
In 2025 we shut everything down and rebuilt from scratch. We moved to dedicated hardware on Scaleway's POP2 platform in Paris — enterprise CPUs, NVMe storage, and isolated containers with no resource sharing. More importantly, we wrote a completely custom control panel: live logs, SFTP file management, dependency tooling, subdomain routing, and backups — none of which you get out of the box with generic panels.
We relaunched publicly in 2026 with a Discord-first product: deploy and operate bots with the same rigour we expect for production software. The pricing reflects real dedicated resources — we do not offer "unlimited RAM" plans because those promises are not real. Every plan lists exactly what you get.
We are a small team. Every support ticket goes to someone who actually knows the platform. When something breaks — and occasionally it does — we post an incident note rather than hoping nobody noticed.
Six principles that guide every decision we make about the product, pricing, and support.
Every bot runs on NVMe storage with dedicated resources. We do not oversell nodes or share RAM between customers. When you pay for 8 GB, 8 GB is reserved for your containers.
Our plans list exactly what you get — RAM, vCPU, NVMe, and concurrency headroom — with no hidden fees. Yearly billing saves 20% and we never lock you into multi-year contracts.
MelonNode is designed for guilds, creators, and teams that need reliable automations: moderation, ticketing, music, custom commands, and integrations — without babysitting a VPS.
We wrote our control panel from scratch. It includes live logs, a full file browser with SFTP, dependency management, and backups — none of which you get from generic Pterodactyl skins.
We currently operate from Paris, France (Scaleway POP2, fr-par). Rather than spreading thin across regions we cannot monitor, we optimise one location and do it properly. Additional regions are on the roadmap.
Support runs through Discord and an in-panel ticket system. We publish incident notes when something breaks and we respond to every ticket — no bots, no AI-generated copy-paste replies.
All bots run as isolated Docker containers on dedicated hardware in Scaleway's POP2 data centre in Paris, France (fr-par). POP2 machines use AMD EPYC processors — a significant step up from the general-purpose VMs most hosts use — with NVMe SSDs on every node.
Each deployment gets its own container with a fixed RAM and CPU limit. Containers do not share memory pools. If your bot is allocated 8 GB, no other container can use that memory, even if the physical node has spare capacity.
DDoS protection is handled by TCPShield before traffic reaches our infrastructure. Public endpoints pass through multi-terabit scrubbing with automatic attack mitigation.
Current infrastructure
Built entirely in-house. No Pterodactyl. No generic reskins.
Live logs
Stream stdout/stderr from your container. Debug startup issues without SSH.
File manager & SFTP
Browse, edit, upload, and download project files from the browser. Each bot gets a dedicated chrooted SFTP account with one-click credential rotation.
Stack & dependencies
Manage your runtime profile and dependencies from the panel so rebuilds stay predictable.
Package helpers
Install and update common dependencies from curated flows where the panel supports them.
Plans & resources
Every tier lists RAM, CPU, NVMe, and headroom — upgrade when you outgrow your current footprint.
Subdomain routing
Every bot gets a unique subdomain under melonnode.com. You can customise it from the bot settings page.
Backups
Automated daily backups with configurable retention. Download or restore any snapshot from the panel.
