 ### [Local Hosting](local-hosting-vps/) (free)
 
 If you have an old PC, a Raspberry Pi, or a Linux box that you're able to keep online 24/7, you can also host Modmail with your own machine at home. Since Modmail doesn't require intensive resources to run, you can get by with a system having as low as 1GB of RAM. Setting it up can be quite advanced but you have complete control over your bot instance. Refer to our local hosting guide supporting a few popular OSes by clicking [here](./#local-hosting-free).

-Northflank is a Platform as a Service (PaaS) like Railway that offers abilities to run micro-services like bots, schedule jobs that run periodically and databases with a powerful UI, API and CLI. Their panel is a bit more advanced as compared to Railway but comes with the perk of more customization and features. You will need a valid payment method to verify your account, but will unlock a free tier project that's separated from paid resources. They will not charge your card if you go over resource usage as you have limited allocation per service.

-> Northflank has been observed to have uptime and reliability issues on their free project for a few months where deployed apps are constantly crashing or being restarted every few hours. Due to this, I no longer recommend hosting Modmail on Northflank and no support will be offered with this platform. This guide will only serve as an archive from now on. - _raidensakura_

 ## [Oracle Guide](http://docs.lidistat67.xyz/) by lidistat67
 
 Oracle Cloud Compute is an Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) platform. Unlike Railway and Heroku, Oracle gives you access to a VPS where you can have a more direct control of your instance. Oracle is a reputable company known for owning products such as Java, VirtualBox, MySQL, etc. Oracle Cloud offers 3,000 OCPU hours and 18,000 GB hours per month. This is equivalent to 24 GB of RAM and 4 OCPUs. TL;DR, Oracle offers powerful instances for free! Oracle requires a credit card for verification but will never charge you as long as you are on their free plan. The setup is similar to self-hosting Modmail as Oracle offers a VPS.
