General

Daki Hosting is a Freemium hosting provider founded in 2021, based in Germany. It offers free hosting for Discord bots and Node.js/Python applications, paid plans with dedicated high-performance resources, dedicated game server plans, and custom solutions (VPS, dedicated servers) on request.
All servers — Free Tier and paid — are hosted in Germany.
Daki does not currently offer third-party partnerships. If you’d like to support Daki, consider upgrading to a paid plan or recommending the service to others in your community.
Yes. Daki participates in carbon offset programs. See the Stripe Climate page linked from daki.cc for details.

​
Free Tier

Yes, completely free — no credit card required. Runtime is maintained by watching short ads: each ad (~2 minutes) adds 3 days, up to 2 ads per day, with a maximum of 30 days total runtime.
Your free server starts with 3 days of runtime when first created.
Watch ads in the Free Tier Dashboard at dash.daki.cc. Each ad adds 3 days, up to 2 ads per day (+6 days max/day), with a 30-day cap.
When runtime hits zero, your server is suspended. You have a 2-day grace period to renew by watching ads. After those 2 days, the server is permanently deleted and cannot be recovered.
No. Each person is limited to one Free Tier account and one server. Creating multiple accounts is a Terms of Service violation.
Only Node.js and Python.
50% CPU (shared), 512 MB RAM, and 1,024 MB (1 GB) disk storage.
No. Free Tier servers do not have publicly accessible ports. Applications that need to receive inbound connections (web servers, APIs, webhooks) require a paid plan. Discord bots are not affected — they connect outbound to Discord. See Network & Allocations.
Three plans on AMD Ryzen 9 9900X hardware: Bronze (€2/month, 100% CPU, 2 GB DDR5, 6 GB NVMe, 2 Splits), Silver (€4/month, 200% CPU, 4 GB DDR5, 9 GB NVMe, 3 Splits), and Gold (€6/month, 300% CPU, 6 GB DDR5, 12 GB NVMe, 4 Splits). See App & Bot Hosting Plans.
No. Daki uses a prepaid model — no contracts, no lock-in. Pay for the time you need and renew only when you want to. If you choose not to renew, your service simply expires.
Splits let you run multiple server instances on one paid plan by dividing your plan’s resources. Bronze = 2 servers max, Silver = 3, Gold = 4. See Understanding Splits.
Yes. Game server plans (Quest through Legend) run on AMD EPYC processors and start at €4/month. See Game Servers.
The server is suspended (goes offline, files preserved). You then have a 7-day window to renew. After 7 days without renewal, the service is permanently cancelled and all data is deleted.
All paid plans include a 99.9% uptime SLA. See daki.cc for the full SLA document.
Not currently. Pre-load credits in the Billing Panel to cover multiple months without manual renewal.

​
Portal & Server Management

The Portal (portal.daki.cc) is Daki’s server management panel, built on a customized Pterodactyl installation. Free Tier and paid app/game servers are all managed here. VPS and dedicated servers are managed separately.
Use the SSO button in the Free Tier Dashboard (Credentials tab) or in the Billing Panel (active service page). Or log in directly with your Portal email and password — found in the Credentials tab (Free Tier) or Access/Password tabs (Billing Panel).
The web file manager does not support direct folder upload. Either (1) compress to a .zip or .tar.gz, upload, and extract in the Portal; or (2) use SFTP for unrestricted transfers. See File Manager.
Set the startup command to bash in the Startup tab, then restart. The console will then accept shell commands interactively. See Console & Power Actions.
Create a .env file on your server using the file manager or SFTP, and use a library like dotenv (Node.js) or python-dotenv (Python) to load it. See Environment Variables.
Go to the Subusers tab in the Portal, click New User, and enter their Portal email address. They must have a Daki account. See Subusers.
The egg defines the programming language and server type (e.g., Node.js). The Docker image is the specific version of that language (e.g., Node.js 22). Change the egg in the Settings tab; change the Docker image in the Startup tab. See Eggs & Docker Images.

​
Billing & Payments

Stripe (cards, Apple Pay, Google Pay, Klarna, WeChat Pay, Alipay, Satispay, and more), MOLLIE (iDEAL, Bancontact, and other regional methods), PayPal, and NowPayments (crypto: SOL, LTC, USDT, and more).
Go to Account → Credits in the Billing Panel at billing.daki.cc.
Go to Account → Payment Methods in the Billing Panel.
At the end of each 30-day period, credits are used first; a saved payment method is charged if credits are insufficient. There is no obligation — if you prefer not to auto-renew, simply don’t load credits or save a payment method, and your service will expire naturally at period end.
Yes. Load credits in the Billing Panel to cover as many months as you want in advance.
Use the “Forgot Password” link on the Billing Panel login page at billing.daki.cc. A reset link will be sent to your registered email address.
