Can I automatically run a Python program outside my computer?

0

Good morning, I've done a Python script that searches the various websites for the occurrence of some words and stores them in SQL database. I would like to track the occurrence of these words over time, but I do not want to be left clicking to run it or leave the computer running to run this routine.   I would like for example that every 6 hours he would do this research and save the results. Can I get it to run on any server? What would I need to learn to make this work? Thanks!

You can use a hosting service such as PythonAnywhere to run your script. In this service you can create a free account and create or upload your script. You can run your script using a console in your browser or perform the schedule for periodic execution. You can also use a mysql database made available by the host. In the free account there are some limits of storage, internet access and CPU that your application can use, but it is possible that in your case should not exceed any of them.
