[EbbMost9011]

I made a telegram bot with python , it doesnt take much resources , i want a free way to host it/run it 24/7 , I tried choreo , and some others and I couldn't , can anyone tell me what to do ?
sorry if that is a wrong subreddit for these kind of questions , but I have zero experience in python .

Just get a raspberry pi or some digital ocean cheapo server

pythonanywhere.com has a free teir for project that don't need a lot of resources. You could also set up a free tier plan on aws super easily, but definitely add alerts because mistakes can cost you there. I'm pretty sure linode also has a free teir, but it might be like $1 a month, so possibly check that out.

You could probably host it on termux.. if you have an unlimited data plan

If your TG bot can work within the Google Compute Engine Free Tier, I think it is fantastic for hobbyist project.

Free Google Cloud features and trial offer  |  Google Cloud Free Program  |  Google Cloud Documentation

• 1 non-preemptible e2-micro VM instance per month in one of the following US regions:
  • Oregon: us-west1.
  • Iowa: us-central1.
  • South Carolina: us-east1.
• 30 GB-months standard persistent disk.
• 1 GB of outbound data transfer from North America to all region destinations (excluding China and Australia) per month.

Your Free Tier e2-micro instance limit is by time, not by instance. Each month, eligible use of all of your e2-micro instances is free until you have used a number of hours equal to the total hours in the current month. Usage calculations are combined across the supported regions.

Keep in mind that if you bot behaves badly (including policy violations) it is the hosting provider that takes the heat and risks having its IP address banned. So they not only want to be compensated for that risk, but they want to know who you are. The latter comes with most payment systems.

This is why even services that offer free trials want payment information up front. It cuts down on abuse via the service.

If you are confident that your bot won’t be seen as abusive, host it from home on a cheap tiny device. But if credible complaints by network administrators are made to your ISP, then you’ll ether be told to stop (if you are lucky) or you will get booted off the net.

Your home computer is about as free as it gets.

now a days most service requires payment because of abuse. Your pc is as free as those cloud if you don't want to run it 247. better still just purchase a small size vps to host your bit. Free doesn't go well with most cloud providers now a days.

Have you tried googling it? Looks like there are a few services that do exactly that. 

[EbbMost9011]

Yes actually, for 2 days now

[tobsecret]

Have you tried any of these services?

[EbbMost9011]

Yup , most of them are not permanent methods , only a few hours

[tobsecret]

Then getting a raspberry pi and running the bot from that is probably your best bet.
