If you want to use the bot it would be best it will be up 24/7. You need to put it on the hosting service or craft your own. We provide full support for Heroku. It isn't best service but it's extremely easy to use, and free tier is enough to keep the bot running. Alternatively, If you have any device that can run all day long like Raspberry Pi you can use PM2 to handle processes programs on your device easily.
