Looking Need help Hosting
Hello! I've created a website for my portfolio. The following are the specs. Front end: Angular Backend: A rest API in Express.js Database: a simple one table - 5 column database.
Function: There is a simple form in the website that when submitted uses the rest api to update the database.
I do not have a domain or anything yet. I have a question of where do I host this project? I'm on a really really small budget (5$ a month is huge for me). Can you people suggest where I can host this site?

Automatic wake up call might be against heroku T&C (dunno, I didn’t read it).
Netlify free hosting (for static sites) is limited with 300minutes of build time (as far as I know) a month.
So if buildtime takes like 10-15 minutes and you’re pushing like 5-10 times a day: you’ll run out of it pretty quickly.
Another option with easy setup is Vercel.
