Hosting provider advice for a Telegram bot? - eviltoast

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!

    probably could fit into fly.io free tier. also as others have mentioned - oracle oci provides a nice free vm, which can be shut off if usage of resources is low, but you can workaround it by increasing a volume a bit more than free tier allows and pay something like a 1-2$ for it monthly.
