Hey, I have created a list of free web hosting service providers. I have checked each and every website in the past weeks!
My youtube channel - Vuelancer
Don't waste any of your money, instantly build and deploy your sites to our global network without wasting a single penny.
NOTE:
- Most of the free hosting providers fail to give free plans after few months itself, because of their business model and competitions in this industry.
- Also, the past few years interest rates are very low, and because of that many startups gave free plans, but now interest rates are at its high. So, dont expect startups to provide free plans forever. But we can start our development journey with free plans, but in future we have to be ready to pay and get resources.

Final thoughts
Use VERCEL for any front-end application as well as medium-level backend apps.
Use HEROKU for any level backend apps.
Other websites are also useful when you are deploying static sites. But I recommend you to go through each website and find which one suits your project.

There is a new kid on the block. Torus Host is an all in one solution like Netlify for static websites but instead it's fully open source and work on top of AWS. Some benefits are that you get 99.99% SLA agreements, unlimited teams, unlimited forms, and many other perks for a fraction of the price of Netlify's Enterprise Plan. Also it allows you to deploy from Github Organizations.

Awesome! let me know how it goes
As a web developer, I always look to have a lot of choices and flexibility when it comes to hosting providers. I am someone who is managing a lot of clients at a time, so I had to choose the best hosting that offered the choice of having unlimited websites on one platform. I tried out Cloudways 3 day free trial and was mindblown with the user-friendliness of the platform. It gave me the choice of choosing from 5 hosting providers like AWS, Digitalocean, Vultr, and Linode. It’s been 8 months and I am super satisfied with Cloudways performance, my website’s speed, and the flexibility I get to scale the serve according to my needs. When it comes to hosting, I always look for a pay as you go model and Cloudways luckily has the same.
There are many free app hosting providers but most of them come with a limitation. In this regard, if we talk about the Firebase then it is one of the most appealing hosting provider that is suitable for both frontend and server-side benefits. Mainly, I like its Firestore and RealTime Database. Similarly, Heroku is also a good choice.
On the other hand, if you are looking for backend hosting services then DigitalOcean is very reasonable option. As an alternate you can also consider using these backend hosting providers and probably, can consider Linode and Back4App.
Qovery is a great solution to simplify the deployment on AWS and Digital Ocean. There is a comparison over Heroku and Netlify.
Sorry to say I waste a lot of time spinning up qovery free server. Every time it flagged me and it's just a waste of time.
Sorry to hear about that. But as I told you on Twitter, Discord, and by email, our authentication system (auth0) as detected you as a fraudulent usage of Qovery and we sent you an email to validate your account. Sorry for that but this is what happened sometimes. Let me know if you need help
Well, I am using heroku, vercel and IBM cloud without any problem, And I am a jr dev, and don't own a credit card. Can you help?
could you elaborate a little more on your issue for future potential users?
I am just sharing my experience with qovery. Please take no offence. I am trying out all the free offerings so that can be up to date with there limitation.
The same email ID I use for heroku, vercel, heliohost, IBM does not work with qovery. It flagged me as fraud and that's it. I don't own a credit card and it is normal where I live. So there is no way I can set up an account and test my opensource site. But its ok I have plenty other options.
I really appreciate you sharing this. I've been using Qovery with the same email as my Heroku. There is something diff weird there.
There is also forge.laravel.com (For Laravel & PHP) and cleaver.cloud (For Adonis, Node and PHP).
They are not pure hosting platforms.But they abstract the work of managing infra and deploying apps by connecting to your AWS, Digital Ocean or Linode accounts.
The plus point is. I can continue using AWS and offload the work of writing custom scripts to Cleaver and Forge
Thanks for sharing dude! I will add those websites in google keep so that I will refer it back!
This is great. Thanks alot 🙏🙏
I would add HelioHost - Free Community-driven Hosting - heliohost.org/ - PHP, ASP.NET - Java - Ruby on Rails - DJango - Python - Perl
Well, they added it last year: helionet.org/index/topic/36882-nod...
wow! Defintely use this provider! thanks dude!
Well i guess "pythonanywhere.com" is always missed. They're super awesome for small to medium projects.
I should try this website to host some project today. After checking it, I will add it
I'd like to add other awesome-list
Hope it helps expand the list
AWS S3 free tier for frontend app ✔️
You're right! We could use GCP, Azure, Aws as well! But It has 1year trial period only right?
There are "always free" tiers for AWS S3 and GCP Storage. I assume Azure also has one, but can't say for sure without checking. The free tiers are large enough that no one with a small personal site is going to come close to them.
Azure has 1 year free trial. It supports static sites and nodejs also. Large hosting providers are worth to deploy larger apps actually. But heroku, vercel will be useful when we are doing our own projects.
Yep, on AWS you get 5 GB free S3 storage for 12 month. Not sure about the other providers, but it should be very similar.
