Hey...this was probably already discussed...and I've tried searching the archives (but I don't think I've found what I was looking for).
I want my bot to run on some host server or something. As it is, it's running on my laptop, which is fine, but that means every time I go to class, I have to shut off the bot, and the reason I started the thing was to have it run while I'm not around.
....so....
Anyone know of any good (free) hosts/servers that I can upload my AIM bot to and run it?
Or perhaps, does anyone know what to do to make it run off of a website I suppose?...like I can get a 20Gig web address on my school's system, and perhaps run it off there (i suppose)..I don't really have a clue how it would work.
...any help/suggestions are appreciated

well to run it from a remote location ideally you would need shell access, which free hosts dont (usually) offer. but i guess it is possible without having it as Joe used to run his from a webbrowser. That causes lots of problems tho, the biggest one being if you have an error anywhere in your code you will get a 'internal server error'. thats the servers way of telling you your code doesnt work :rolleyes:, which makes it extreamly hard to debug it if thats your only way to run the code. but either way, you need perl installed on the server, and any modules and stuff you would normally need to run your bot you would need ie. net::aim, msn.pm ect..
