Hi everyone, me and my friends are thinking of making a Telegram bot to use GPT-4 as one of us has access to the API.
We’re not going to release the bot to the public (only use between us), however we’d like the bot to run 24/7 so it’s accessible whenever one of us needs it. Sadly we can’t host it ourselves as neither of us is able to get a Static IP and has a free machine to run 24/7.
My question is, are there any recommended hosting providers (if it’s free even better) where we could host our telegram bot on? Thanks!
recently did my own research on hosting providers for my own telegram bot project and i found ec2 had the easiest set up process and most transparent pricing structure for my needs

Yeah I was thinking about EC2 as I’ve used it before for another project. Wanted to see if there are any other options just in case.
