Discord bot hosting

discord.py bot hosting
free, always on, no card.

The standard Python library, with app commands (slash commands), cogs for structure, and a large ecosystem of examples. On Enzonic the free bot tier gives your discord.py bot 512 MB RAM and 50% of a CPU core, running 24/7 without sleeping. Small bots idle at about 50 to 90 MB, so that is usually plenty; the Dirt plan ($0.99/mo) adds a second allocation and more headroom.

Where the token goes with discord.py

Create the bot in the Discord Developer Portal, copy its token, and store it as the DISCORD_TOKEN environment variable in the panel's Startup tab. The code reads it from the environment; nothing secret is in your files.

import os, discord
intents = discord.Intents.default()
client = discord.Client(intents=intents)
client.run(os.environ["DISCORD_TOKEN"])

Running discord.py on Enzonic

Things that trip people up when a discord.py bot moves from a laptop to a server.

  • List your dependencies in requirements.txt; the template installs them before the first start.
  • Intents are opt-in: set intents.message_content = True only when you read message text.
  • Long-running tasks belong in discord.ext.tasks loops, not in sleep() calls inside handlers.

What the free bot tier includes

512 MB RAM, 50% CPU, 10 GB disk, a live console, SFTP and file manager access, automatic restart when the process exits, and one bot per account. Free bots run on the bot nodes in London, Frankfurt and Singapore (and the United States as capacity allows). Because the bot talks to Discord's gateway, not to your users directly, the node's location barely matters.

Free bot creation is subject to capacity; when the bot nodes are full you join a short queue and the panel emails you when your bot is placed.

Set it up in three steps

  1. 01

    Create the bot server

    Choose the discord.py template (or the Python runtime) and the free tier.

  2. 02

    Upload your code

    Drag the project into the file manager or use SFTP. Set DISCORD_TOKEN in the Startup tab; the template runs "pip install -r requirements.txt" and then "python bot.py".

  3. 03

    Start and watch the console

    The console shows the login. Invite the bot to a test server with the OAuth2 URL from the Developer Portal.

Questions

Yes. The free bot tier runs around the clock and does not sleep like free Minecraft servers do. It is subject to capacity (you may queue briefly when the bot nodes are full) and to the fair-use rules in the terms. No card is needed.
