+## Hosting
+
+To host your own instance of this bot, you need to have a Telegram bot token, Telegram API Token
+and a server to run the bot on. You can create a Telegram bot with [BotFather][botfather] and purchase
+a cheap VPS with the hoster of your choice.
+
+I recommend [Hetzner][hetzner] and you can get 20€ in credits for free using my [referral link](hetzner).
