Free server environment to test python capabilities on networking etc - Emekadavid - Jun-05-2020
Good morning. Please, the computer I am using is not a server and learning python, I see that it has a lot of capabilities that requires a server. Please, can someone recommend me a free online server, possibly, a cloud server, that I can use to be practicing my networking and other skills that I am learning from python. I will much appreciate it.
As a noob, I am ready to learn new things to up my skills.
Thanks.

It would be helpful if you could explain a bit more what you are trying to do.
It is possible for you to set up various servers on your own computer so that you can keep your work local.
Not saying that this is an option in your case, but likely.

My system is old. I don't think installing a server op sys is a good option. I want something I can do over the net. That way I will really be simulating a live working environment.

You can run Python locally on your Computer.
The term server is not well-defined. It could mean hardware or software.
Related to hardware: expensive, 24/7 usage, fail safe
Related to software: some kind of software, which offers a kind of service
Even on your old system Python will run.
Python3 runs on my Raspberry Pi Zero W which has 512 MB RAM and a 1GHz ARMv6 CPU.
It's enough memory to run dnsmasq, nginx, fastapi (Python3), wifi-control via GPIO-Switch, tty data logger
with a sqlite3 database and some other services. It's even possible to create in memory a Graph and display it on a website.
I guess your system is not the problem.
