I've been working on an application, now that is done, but it needs a server to be up 24/7. The server has a PHP file which it uses to recieve and upload files from the applications. Any simple HTTP server should work (not HTTPS). I've tried several webhosts but they all have some kind of "bot-detectors" built into them which I can't remove, some make use of Javascript. I really need your help, please help me by letting me know of a webhost that has atleast 50MB space with PHP support.

Any PHP web hosting company should give you "50MB of space", but finding a free one that is available 24/7 is trickier - most of them will not guarantee uptime unless (or even if) you pay for the service, and that is understandable. I have tried a few "free" services in the past and they were all pretty much useless for anything more than "learning the ropes", as it were.
The chances are that if you want a reliable service, you will have to pay.

The requirement to disable "bot-detectors" would worry me: what are you planning on doing that if likely to be detected as suspicious activity?

The bot detectors are a problem as my application isn't a web browser, it cannot execute javascript, and the bot detectors make use of javascript to check am I a bot.

If you app is running on the server, then it can't run Javascript anyway - that only runs in the client browser, unlike PHP which only runs on the server and emits HTML to the client.

So "bot detectors" on your web host shouldn't be looking at it...

I never said my application is running on the server.
If someone provided cloud web services with 24\7 availability for free then how would they make money? Who would pay for web hosting? Why would a company spend millions and millions in hardware infrastructure and not charge anyone to use it? When the cables break, or the hard drives need replaced and someone needs to do that at 3am, who is paying their wages? Who is paying for the replacement parts?

This concept that everything internet related is free, or can be obtained for free is a fallacy. If you want semi-reliable, ad-free hosting you have to pay for it, it's that simple.
