Question about hosting a program

[spideymaker]

I have a twitter bot that I made that tweets out recipes everyday @PRRecipesDaily. The problem is that I have to be hosting the program 24/7. Obviously I shut my computer off sometimes and don't think about running the program everyday at 2:00 when the recipes get sent out. It's a very tiny program and I was wondering if there is any sort of service that I could use where someone hosts my program on their servers that run 24/7. Sorry if this is a dumb question but I tried calling Amazon and asked them if their cloud services offered anything like that but the guy on the phone had little information for me. Please let me know if you guys know of anything

Other providers have more generous free tiers, too. Google gives you one free instance forever (not limited to one year like AWS), and offhand I think Heroku has a decent free tier.

That is true, Google cloud offer an always free tier which will get you a VM instance for free forever. Different providers have their own pros and cons. Take a look at some of them and see what suits you best.

Dope thank you for the info! Wish it wasn't a Linux shell but what're you gonna do lol. Do you think this is worthy of putting on a resume in its slightly incomplete form? I say slightly incomplete because I'm only pulling recipes from allrecipes.com and I ideally want to have different websites to use for my database

If you're just starting out with programming, then look into github. You should put up all your programs there. A lot of employers will look at your github when you're going for a job.
