I'm looking for advice on where to host my full stack website, which I built for my art and design portfolio. I'm not interested in temporary free hosts; I need a reliable and permanent solution. Since I have a limited budget, I want something affordable. Also, I'm a bit lost on how to move my full stack site (built with JavaScript, HTML, and CSS) from Visual Studio Code to a live website, so any tips on that would be super helpful. Feeling like a newbie with all these hosting options out there!

For domain registration, try Namecheap; they often have discount codes. For DNS, Cloudflare is a good choice with free and paid plans. If you're looking at hosting, Digital Ocean is typically cheaper than AWS and you get more flexibility with a Linux cloud server. It might seem daunting, but separating your domain, DNS, and hosting gives you more control in the long run. You'll likely need some tech guidance to set it all up, but it's the economical route!
AWS can be complex with tons of services. Make sure to explore all options like Beanstalk or even basic hosting on EC2.
