I am very close to getting into my first alpha test for an app I have been creating and now I need to either find a server provider online or build one (I wouldnt mind building one but do not have alot of money) raspberry pi's are cheap and I believe would work!

 

I have never built or really needed a server till now... can anyone please help me? Thank you!

you will be better with some VPS - virtual private server. 1 cpu core 2gb ram, 20gb ssd storage for a dollar or euro a month, depends on your needs

When you have a Raspberry why you souldn't use it. There is a lot of info about it on the web, how to configure your Raspberry.

 

It's only for test purposes! 

 

When you don't have a Raspberry, a VPS is cheaper for 1 or 2 months.
