Repl always running

So if i close my repl editor tab, my repl web page dissapears from the web. The same thing happens if I stop running it from withing the tab. So how can I keep it always running, 24/7?
Sevices like UpTimeRobot only make sure it doesn't sleep, or am i getting that wrong?
Also, I need sonething that is free forever.

You need a HTTP server. Try hosting it on heroku.com.

@RYANTADIPARTHI

but isnt repl.it a http server itself?

. kind of, but it doesn't run for a long time. meaning forever.

@RYANTADIPARTHI

Yep, and that's why I haaate repl.it for hosting stuff.

You will need an http server. Without telling me what language, I won't be able to help you with the code specifics, but overall:

create an HTTP server
use https://uptimerobot.com on the server URL
- server URL is in the form of [replname].[username].repl.co

sleeping means the repl stopped.

its html/php.

How wpuld i create a http server?

Can't the url also be [replname]--[username].repl.co

oh and btw here is a working repl:
https://repl.it/@Coder100/UnhealthyLimpingCarrier#main.py

whats this?

nice

So I think you should probably make your own uptime my pinging your own project
