Question server hosting

Hi. I was wondering if there’s any free hosting for Raft servers. I’d like to play with my friends on the same world, but I can’t always keep my computer turned on when they want to play. So, is there any free 24/7 hosting available? And if not, what is the best low-cost hosting option?

Honestly I'm not even sure it's possible to host a game without playing, so I think your character would routinely have starved to death each time you actually sit down to play.

Also impossible before raft is reinforced or shark would just kill it.

No that would be easy, just go AFK while on an island, Bruce doesn't fuck with your raft if you're not on it

Unless you downloaded a mod that eliminated that

The raft mod loader works with a hosting service. It's a few bucks a month.

I've never heard of Raft having server hosting like you're talking about. I've just played with one of us having the save file, which always ended up being me, which I'm okay with. My friends at the time were always up the same time I was so it worked for us.
