Discord bot hosting
hikari bot hosting
free, always on, no card.
A lower-level, fast Python library; most people pair it with a command framework such as lightbulb, tanjun or arc. On Enzonic the free bot tier gives your hikari bot 512 MB RAM and 50% of a CPU core, running 24/7 without sleeping. Small bots idle at about 40 to 80 MB, so that is usually plenty; the Dirt plan ($0.99/mo) adds a second allocation and more headroom.

Where the token goes with hikari
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, hikari
bot = hikari.GatewayBot(token=os.environ["DISCORD_TOKEN"])

Things that trip people up when a hikari bot moves from a laptop to a server.
- Install hikari with the [speedups] extra if you want the faster JSON and uvloop paths.
- Command frameworks are separate packages: add the one you use to requirements.txt.
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
- 01
Create the bot server
Choose the hikari template (or the Python runtime) and the free tier.
- 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 hikari hikari-lightbulb" and then "python bot.py".
- 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.
