Is there anywhere offering to host bot software at a fee? And no, I don't mean for campbots or landbots, I mean for more legitimate uses (eg, invitebots, notecardbots).

You don't need a bot for those, just a prim and a script.

(just guessing: One flavor of notecardbot would accept text and make a notecard from it--something a script can't do on its own.)

I've seen some cool things with Bots.. and some cool things done JUST with SLeeK.. but I haven't heard of any hosting. Just "run your own" style.

There's a bot host available on SLX, but it appears to just be for group stuff?
Then there's this bot software you can buy in SL but I guess it runs on your own machine instead (not sure the benefit or purpose there as compared to running a second client?) There's a video on their website... http://slbot.thoys.nl _____________________

Simple scripted group inviter  Not quite as automatic as a bot invite, but I do love this "Viewer URI" magic. For a list, see http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/Viewer_URI_Name_Space. |

Simple scripted group inviter: This doesn't actually send an invite, it just displays the group's profile. Amongst other things it can't be used to create an exclusive group (ie, a group you can ONLY get into, by being invited by the script) |

how much would you pay to have your bots hosted?

As you'd most likely be tinkering and tweaking constantly you're better off single-purposing a spare rig, loading it with something like Abyss web server (which supports Perl, PHP, Ruby, etc.), jacking it into your router, and using a dynamic DNS provider (some are free).
