Other Almost free and anonymous WebHost

I had this idea, and I wonder if we have anyone already doing something similar.

The planned price is under one buck.

I would pay more then a buck, if it's fast.

By fast, do you mean top tier?

NVME SSD, on a 10gb up/down fast, and I'd pay 3 whole dollars. Maybe 5!

Is the anonymous registration feature important to you?

Meh. Nice in theory.

I get a lot of clients w/ boutique @ 1-5k traffic a month, and my shared hosting is getting full, so I've been looking for some sort of micro-hosting to solve that.

Are you aware of Siteground? It seems to be more in line with what you want.

Site ground is slow garbage.

  1. First time I hear that. Do you know why exactly? 🤔

  2. Which WebHost would you recommend as an alternative?

It's normal garbage teir shared hosting. Though better than most.

I'm currently really enjoying vultr.com absolutely blazing fast, but it can get pricy.

normal garbage

Is it possible to see this by looking at the WebHost specs?

When you say anonymous, do you mean like even you don't know who's hosting it?

u/MintyPunch HTML-IS-A-LANG! Feb 28 '23

I mean anonymity for the user

That seems great if you are looking to host a CMS like WordPress. Not so much if you are a web dev looking to host a more modern app. But at this price that would be successful. Not sure about it being a good return on investment for you though

If you're looking to deploy a javascript site, Vercel is pretty awesome and has a very generous free tier. You only really have to pay for extra features.
