in short, i made a script that logins to telegram account once in a week just to keep it alive in case of my death or etc. (dont ask why :]) sooo i need really cheap vps plan like under $25 per year for this need. yeah thats pretty strange request...

Have u got any sort of minimum specs? I assume you won't need much, but a general estimation?
srry but i dont quite understand what specs i shall include, like how much is enough to handle that, idk
Like how much ram do you think you would need or storage. I assume it would be very little but idk
To my knowledge, they haven't got the best of rep, but I've yet to have issues with them you could try this its 6$ for 2 years

As a side note, wouldn't you want to log in yourself? What if u pay for a year, then die? I assume you're setting up a deadman switch/whatever you wanna call it, so it'll be hella delayed
Big spender, 25 per year. Most of LET vps are even less expensive.
I don't understand this post. For a script that runs once per week and doesn't seem to be CPU intensive, you can basically use any VPS from any provider. Why doesn't OP just pick any current offer from any of the providers? Pretty much any random pick would be under budget.
Or is there something special about Telegram I'm missing like IP ranges blocked etc?
@backtogeek tierhive $0.1/m.
Tierhive seems like a good alternative. Cheapest VPS is 10 cents per month. You preload funds and it will keep on going until the money runs out.
Until deadpool. Technically, you could use cloudflare worker cronjobs
If you want a VPS that you can trust will still be there after your death, you need to find a provider that isn't going to deadpool shortly after you do.
What does this script do exactly?
It logs in, types "Penis", sends it to all contacts and logs out again. @OP knows the exact timing and giggles whenever it happens. Well, at least that's what i would do if i would write Telegram login scripts.
Too frequently IMO.
By default TG accounts are deleted after 18 months of inactivity, IIRC. You can change that to 24 months.
For quite some time I was running my TG bots (basic Python) on a smallest NAT VPS from @Cam - https://hosting.gullo.me/
Can recommend for sure.
But that's regular bots. I would care not about the price, but about the IP to log in from.
Hard to tell how TG's anti-bot system would react to a "user" constantly logging in from a DC IP.
So much effort without attaching a photo?
Waste of time.
ionos vps for 1€ / month.
Comment @coopplayer?
Just deposit like $100 in AWS Lambda or Azure Functions and run that lambda/function once per week. This will be better because LET providers can deadpool, AWS or Azure don't.

Seconded. $100 might be overkill, logging into Telegram once a week shouldn't cost more than a few cents a month.
In your will, specify that whoever inherits your estate is responsible for keeping your Telegram account alive forever.
As soon as the Telegram account dies, the inheritance becomes null and void: it all goes to a named charity.
This protects against provider deadpool, Telegram API changes breaking the script, and other technical risk.
To further protect against the death of your heir, you can alternatively gift your inheritance to a non-charitable purpose trust.
The sole purpose of this trust is to ensure the Telegram account stays alive.
The trust funds are used to rent a sever to run the automated login script, and to hire a programmer in case of Telegram API changes.
At the same time, two law firms act as trust enforcers.
If the corporate trustee is found to have not carried out its purpose, the trust enforcer could hire a new trustee.
If one trust enforcer finds the other not doing its job, it can have the court replace the other trust enforcer.
This cycle repeats until the trust funds run dry.
Just get oracle cloud, cheapest of them all..
Oracel will kick your free VPS if you don't login in every so often.

But this will allow you to refresh your account like this for 100 years.
Thanks for the Tag!
I suggest you to make a public Github Repo with a Github Action to run every week. It is free to run actions on github repo.
racknerd has cool vps deals under $25 a year. I'm using it for telegram bot. so you can too
telegram supports IPv6, so get a cheap IPv6 only server.
If you use cligram (a Telegram client for the terminal) then any VPS or shell account can handle it, even the smallest one
Download the
.debpackage from the release page and install it.The first time you run
cligramyou’ll be prompted to log in. Your session credentials will be stored in this file:(Backup this file. Later you can simply transfer it between VPS servers so you won’t need to manually login again).
See the help page for instructions on how to actually use it
If your only goal is to keep the account active, you can create a simple script that periodically starts and stops the program.
You can commit on every scheduled action. Can it be considered as an activity?
Maybe:
