I need to host a really small program written in java. It is a "server" program, so it needs to be running 24/7. It takes fuck all cpu/ram/storage requirements.
How can I do this for free? I was looking at Amazon AWS free tier but I am still confused.

You are a student?

Yep, but I don't want to ask my uni if they can host it.
The stuff isn't illegal at all, but it is questionable.
Run it on your home computer lol

Home computer
Or
Look up Dreamspark or Azure, MS gives students free hosting

This is the one time where a Raspberry Pi would be perfect.
I have no issues with hosting it myself, I don't pay for power or electricity
BUT
I can't port forward it to be internet facing, as I don't control my internet :/

Rent a server for like $5/month

Yeah but there is a million vps hosting companies. Which is the best/cheapest? idc about lag, 1mbps connection is more than enough.
Github Student pack -> digitalocean

I don't know if this would work but it's very cheap: https://www.nearlyfreespeech.net/
Also there are some $1/month VPNs around I think.

Slap it on a raspberrry pi?
Hi I'm a professional developer and I use for Linux compatible stuff a vps named dime vps, the 7 dollar plan is good and it's ready almost instantly. Also the support team is good, do not recommend if you're used to setting up a server, whatever are your needs.

If you're not used *
You can host it on a tor hidden service
Are you trying to host Hentai@Home?

My exact thoughts
Google cloud computing. You can spin up free instances. I'm not sure what the catch is though. Probably bandwidth limits and all that.
