Where can I host my Python script?

Where can I host a simple Python script to run on via cron every few hours?

  • I don't want to run my own server, and I'd rather avoid the complexity of shared hosting - is there a modern service where I can just paste a few dozen lines of Python in to a textarea and have it run every few hours?

  • Answer:

    https://www.pythonanywhere.com/ They have a super simple interface for cron-type jobs.
