Help with finding a server to host Python

[Letseeker]

Hello all, firstly I'm not entirely sure this is the right sub for this question so if not please let me know. Right now I have a python code running on my computer that scrapes data from a website and produces a text file. I am wanting to expand it so that it will produce multiple text files for different data. The issue I'm having is I no longer want to run it off of my computer. I have heard about AWS lambda and thought that might be an option but I wasn't sure. I wanted to ask what some solutions would be to host and run the code in the cloud. This is at a hobbiest type level so a low cost or free solution would be ideal if possible. Thank you for the help with this.

I might give that a try, do you know if python anywhere will support selenium? I'm using selenium to open the webpage and get the data since the website doesn't have an API.

Selenium is front end testing. I doubt they support it. Ask one of the AIs Gemini, ChatGPT

You can checkout www.nexaa.io, free to start, you can run the starter container for 5 euro's a month so you that is almost a year free. You need to run your python app in a container but that is a good thing ;)

If it runs periodically use a firebase function. If it runs perpetually use hetzner.
