Hi everyone,
I’m looking for a basic, continuously running hosting platform for my Telegram bot scripts, much like Google Colab. Any suggestions?
Based on my experience running similar projects, a potential solution would be to consider a low-cost VPS service like DigitalOcean or Linode for continuous hosting. I found that these platforms offer a stable environment that can be easily configured to keep your Telegram bots online without the interruptions sometimes seen in free hosting solutions. Although they require some initial setup, the benefits often outweigh the minimal costs involved. The setup process is straightforward and many community resources are available if you encounter any issues during deployment.
hey ppl, i used pythonanywhere for my tg bots and it worked ok. easy to set up and fairly stable 24/7. though not as free as colab, its a simple fix if u need a low-maintenance host without too many vibe hassles.
I have personal experience with running Telegram bots on AWS Lightsail and found it a good alternative when Heroku and similar platforms didn’t guarantee uninterrupted service. Initially, I attempted to use a free hosting service, but over time the restrictions and limitations led to inconsistent uptime. AWS Lightsail provides a robust environment that, after the initial configuration, allows for continuous deployment without too many hassles. The cost is manageable and the control over the server gives you better reliability overall. It may require a bit more setup, but in my experience it’s well worth the investment for truly 24/7 coverage.
