Well, you can set up a dedicated server by yourself.
But you must ensure that it's not the PC you normally work on, as that PC has to run 24/7 then.
For any external dedicated server, there are only paid options AFAIK.

You can see here how to set up your own:

I set up a Gportal server for 30 days for like 11 bucks. It's been working great.
