yungsinatraHosting provider advice for a Telegram bot?
Hi everyone, me and my friends are thinking of making a Telegram bot to use GPT-4 as one of us has access to the API....
FYI you don’t need static IP for telegram bots if you use polling instead of webhook. So if your house connection is stable enough, you can nake do with Raspberry Pi.
I’m hosting my stuff on cheapest DigitalOcean droplet (but still use polling for telegram bots). Any stable VPS provider would do just fine and you’ll have system resources left for other stuff, telegram bots are very light.
I'm not sure I understand how I could use polling in this case. Would I just keep sending requests to the endpoint to see if there are any new messages sent or something like that?
