Self-hosting
|
|
------------
|
|
|
|
You can always self-host on your own hardware.
|
|
A Raspberry Pi 3 will be more than sufficient for small to medium sized bots.
|
|
|
|
For bigger bots, you can build your own server PC for usage, or buy a rack
|
|
server. Any modern hardware should work 100% fine.
|
|
|
|
------------
|
|
Free hosting
|
|
------------
|
|
|
|
Google Cloud and AWS both have free tier VPS suitable for small bots.
|
|
Additionally, new Google Cloud customers get a $300 credit which is valid
|
|
for 12 months.
|
|
|
|
Other than that... no. There is no good free VPS hoster, outside of
|
|
persuading somebody to host for you, which is incredibly unlikely.
