A small free server for one Discord bot or Node.js or Python app — good for trying Daki or running a simple bot. You keep it online by watching a short ad every few days. For projects people rely on, our App & Bot plans start at €2/month.
Checking free slots…
All free nodes are full. Slots usually open up again within a few days, once inactive servers expire.
New free servers are paused right now, for example during maintenance.
Existing free servers keep running and can be renewed as usual. Don't want to wait? A paid server is ready in minutes — from €2/month, without ads.

Free servers are built for small bots that connect out to a service like Discord. Here is what that means in practice.

Yes. There is no credit card, no trial period and nothing to cancel. Free servers are paid for by ads: you watch a short one whenever you add runtime.
Your server runs around the clock as long as it has runtime left. Each ad adds 3 days, so on average one short ad every three days keeps a bot online. You can bank up to 30 days, so you don't need to come back daily. The Free Tier has no uptime guarantee.
When the runtime reaches zero the server is suspended. You then have 2 days to renew it. After that it is deleted permanently, including all files. With renewal reminders turned on, the Daki bot sends you a Discord DM 48 hours before suspension and 24 hours before deletion.
Any package you can install with npm or pip, such as discord.js, discord.py, py-cord or nextcord. You choose the Node.js or Python version in the Startup tab of the Portal.
No. Free servers have no public ports, so nothing on the internet can connect to them. Discord bots are not affected because they connect out to Discord. For anything that has to be reachable, you need a paid plan.
Your bot doesn't care, but renewing does: pause your ad blocker on the Free Tier Dashboard while you add runtime, otherwise the ad can't load and no time is added.
Yes, whenever you like. A paid plan is a separate server ordered in the Billing Panel. Download your files as a zip or copy them over SFTP, then set the same startup command on the new server.
