I'm looking for advice on where to host my full stack website that I created. I'm not interested in temporary or free hosting solutions, but rather a reliable and affordable permanent hosting option. Since it's an art and design portfolio, I need a good storage solution for images and should account for relatively low traffic. I'm also feeling a bit lost since I've never moved my full stack site (built with JavaScript, HTML, and CSS) from Visual Studio Code to a live environment. Any tips on how to navigate this would be greatly appreciated!

You might want to consider Namecheap for domain registration since they often have discounts. For DNS, Cloudflare offers both free and premium plans. For hosting, Digital Ocean is a solid choice if you're looking for a cloud server, and it's generally cheaper than AWS. Just a heads up though, you might need some guidance to set up a Linux cloud server as it's a cost-effective way to go. Separating your domain name, DNS, and hosting across different providers can give you more control too!
True, AWS has a lot of options that can be overwhelming. It's better to pick a specific service based on your needs.
