You can get a VM for way less for simple needs. I have a VM from those lowendbox providers from a few years ago that costs $4 a YEAR - static IP, 256MB RAM/512

You can get a VM for way less for simple needs. I have a VM from those lowendbox providers from a few years ago that costs $4 a YEAR - static IP, 256MB RAM/512MB virtual, 10GB storage, U18.04 I do not use it for anything serious, but it actually has had 99.9% uptime. Again, with cheap providers there is a good chance they go belly up but for cronjob that should suffice. For more serious cronjobs on the budget Hetzner is nice.
