Bebot cannot be run on a normal webserver. You need a shell account with access to php in the cli version for that. As well as access to mysql, and the php sockets extension.

Even you find a free one, you'll get it deleted or will lag alot. Better set up ur home pc for it or buy one imo :D

The first may be ok, not enough information.

The second seems to require some peer-linking or something like that to be free, doubt it's free for you.

Just one general warning: be careful with account information on such free offers, you can never be sure how save your files are from remote accessing. So best use a froob account with no pointers in name and pw to your main accounts as bot account.

The first is very restricting on outgoing traffic. only certain protocols are whitelisted.
So it surely won't allow bots. It also doesn't mention if it allows background processes.

nope it's not.
as already stated: you're not looking for a web server. A web server serves websites, not bots.
At most you're looking for a web server with enough extra's so it includes the actual requirements.
You're better off looking for a "shell account".

What you need is a server with:
- PHP installed
- SSH access (or some other ability to start the bot)
- Allows background processes
- Allows outgoing connections

what you dont understand?
You cant run a program on a webserver, becouse the hosters wont allow you to and you cant without proper access to server.
If you cant host bots on your own pc, then buy a shell account and not a webserver.
i'd recomand you some but i really dont know if creavion still is active, since i left loads of stuff changed.

you can try creavizion.com or .ca, speak with yannick if hes still there he'll help you but of course you will need pay a few bucks a month.

I bought a webserver with ssh access and stuff, i can host bots on it, but its way to expensive imo to host just 1 bot or 2.. I'd recomand you try find a friend to host them on they own pc or buy a simple shell for 2-3 $ a month :D
