It depends on the user, or more specifically, the user's needs and limits. For example, I prefer to save some electricity so I use a cloud server to host my bot whenever it's online. Some such as the bots you'll find on Wikia, could very well just be a program running on a computer that is monitored at times.

When you're talking bots (and especially automation in general), you've got the right idea that they're pretty much on 24/7, but there is no one answer to what exactly they are being hosted by. Really anything that can run an OS can host a bot.
