Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/benbusby/whoogle-search/issues/833

As we all know heroku is no longer a viable option for people who want to deploy whoogle for free just for personal use.

So i just tried render.com , it works flawlessly. Just while deploying choose python 3 and build command as " pip install -r requirements.txt " and start command as " ./run " .
Now go down to advance and add all the environmental variables you need , just deploy after that .

ENJOY !!! 🎉

For everyone who wants to host their Whoogle instance anonymously: Don't bother! It's a bait and switch. They tell you "free" for the base service but after registration, when you want to deploy, they ask for your Credit Card details "for verification".

render.com actually is very similar to heroku . they gave you around 700 hrs each month with even custom domain support . no credit card needed. Its perfectly usable .

Thanks for those instructions @AkumaX1 . render.com does work, and it is definitely free without requiring a credit card. But it seems to take around 10 seconds to load pages, even when the "dyno", or whatever render.com calls it, is already up & running. It's super easy to set up, and definitely free, but unfortunately this won't be an adequate replacement for me.

Yep, It's work, but performance suck, sometimes it takes 2-5 seconds to response for a search keyword.

I use replit, but boosted repl. I bought for 1.5 dolars. And its so fast

Render works great! This is probably a documentation task (it should be added as an option in the README).
