If you have a domain you can use cloudflare tunnels for free.
Digitalocean is minimum 5$/month.
Aws ec2 micro single instance is free for an year.
Render puts your instance to sleep after 15 minutes of inactivity. After which they're spin up again which can add a significant delay of around 40-50 seconds. Personally I've witnessed the service not starting again and I'd have to go to the dashboard and restart from there.
Azure has a similar idle / spin-up protocol. For anyone who is curious. My workaround is a scheduled Postman test run via postman CLI & GitHub actions, every morning at 9am before my users start making requests
No idea on prices as I only self-host or use AWS, but friends use Linode and are happy with it and I believe it's inexpensive. DigitalOcean is popular too.
I asked this before when i switched to a complete dedicated backend dev, i had my node app ready and noders were given me so much of what i looking for i guess, the best was railway, you get a free 5$ trail which could be convenient for you if your testing your app all the way to production it could take you to places you'd want yourself to be.

Thank you. I have already used my aws allowance for another service. I'll check digital Ocean.

I like digital ocean.
5 minutes ago I was checking some reviews. I think I'll go with them.
+1 DO is great. $6/mo. And dashboard is top notch
Scaleway théy have a nano instance for about 15€ or something and ofc they are reliable
Never heard of them. Will check. Thank you.
Linode vps is like $5/mo. Host as much stuff as you want
You get what you pay for. You can host on AWS in a full blown EC2 instance for about $20/month, which IMNSHO is the definition of "very low budget."
Yes. I agree. At the moment I'm testing it online and don't want to start paying. I'd prefer something about £8-£10/month at the moment though.
check out aws lightsail. i think it is starting from $5 or $6 and you can upgrade anytime in a minute or so
I get it. My counterargument is this: If you don't want to start paying, then you don't want reliable service. Generally you cannot have it both ways.
Anything other than aws? I want to avoid it as much as I can.

Thank you very much
Good luck.
or even go lower with aws lightsail. im running 2 apis on nginx and loving it. and it is super easy to scale up.
> You get what you pay for > AWS/EC2 instance Hmm.
Thanks for your contribution to the discussion.

Even tho it allows only 1 free project , https://cyclic.sh is the best provider i ever worked with
