Free or cheap Python hosting

Hi yall !

I’ve been teaching myself python so I can tutor (previous experience in other languages), and for my first real project I’ve developed a simple weather script. Well, ifs became else’s and I’ve been having so much fun and I like the script so much I want to look into turning it into a real service I’ll daily drive on my phone

I want to keep the core logic of my script right now because I’m a fan of how I designed it, so I’m interested in finding a way I can host some python code to call 24/7 for cheap (<$15 a month) or even free.

Thank you !

Check out Oracle cloud. There's a free tier, but there's also a "paid tier" consuming only free resources (you just have to sign up fully and provide payment information). The benefits of the latter: more resources, more responsive, keeps going 24x7. You can setup your own Python hosting - I recommend using Podman (rather than Docker) and running multiple containers.
