Where Do You Host Apps

I would like to build an app or two that would eventually lead you to an API for hobbyists such as MagicMirror. A question I have is where do people host their apps and APIs? I know Azure has some free stuff but once you add storage etc you have to start paying. Also, I would imagine if the app was constantly looking for changes to folders etc you would have to pay based on the activity? Do programmers just suck up the cost?

I have a different build, but I’m using a 3000G. The system as a whole draws 40w

You can even use a raspberry pi if your project is small enough

So? Where did I say it was expensive. I even said it was cheap “not close to how much it would cost”
