# Discord Bot

Discloud allows you to **host applications directly from Discord**, making deployment fast and accessible without needing to use a dashboard or command-line tools.

***

## 🔑 Account Verification

Before deploying applications using the **Discloud Bot**, you must first **verify your account** on the Discloud Discord server.

#### **🤔 How to Verify Your Account:**

{% stepper %}
{% step %}
Join the [**Discloud Discord Server**](https://discord.discloudbot.com/).
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
Follow the instructions in the verification channel.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
Once verified, you will be assigned the **`Verified en-us`** role.
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}

{% hint style="info" %}
After verification, you will gain access to the [**`#🔌・commands`**](https://discord.com/channels/584490943034425391/1051126795883261962) channel, where you can manage your applications.
{% endhint %}

## 🚀 Hosting Your Application

There are **two ways** to deploy an application using the Discloud Bot:

<table><thead><tr><th width="212">Method</th><th>Best For</th><th>How It Works</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td><a href="#advanced-setup"><strong>⚙️ Advanced Setup</strong></a></td><td>Users who want a <strong>one-command</strong> deployment with pre-configured settings.</td><td>Configure everything in the <a href="https://github.com/discloud/docs/blob/english/configurations/discloud.config"><code>discloud.config</code></a> file and use <code>.upconfig</code>.</td></tr><tr><td><a href="#quick-setup-step-by-step-guide"><strong>⚡ Quick Setup (legacy)</strong></a></td><td>Users who <strong>prefer a guided setup</strong> via the bot’s prompts.</td><td>The bot will ask for the necessary details after running <code>.up</code>.</td></tr></tbody></table>
