Hello! I have a Redbot for Discord that I would like to be always-online. 

I started a Google Cloud free-trial because I was told it was capable of hosting small bots for free (or larger ones free for a time since you get $300 credits to work with), but I have absolutely no idea what anything means. I don't know where to begin. If anyone would be willing to explain to me how to go about getting Cloud to host for me, as if I were a 5 year old, I would really appreciate it. 

Redbots use Python, not node, if that makes a difference.

The Google Cloud Platform Free Tier allows you to use any GCP product for a period of 12 months or a maximum limit of $300 (whichever comes first). However, it is always recommended to check the 'FAQ' and the 'free trial supplemental terms of service' before using any resource under free trial. 

As per the documentation mentioned in the github.com, you could be able to install Red-Discord Bot on any major platforms. I also recommend you to read the installation guide mentioned there for its implementation on different platforms and other requirements as well.
