I'm working on a university project that includes an Angular frontend and a PHP backend, along with an SQL database using XAMPP. I need to find a way to host the app so my friend can easily demonstrate it to their professor without needing to install anything. I've looked into various options, including Azure, but I've run into issues with PHP support. Has anyone had experience with hosting solutions that are ideally free or very low-cost?

Check out AWS Lightsail; you can get started for free for the first three months. It’s easy to launch a preconfigured server that supports PHP and MySQL.
You can use any Virtual Machine from providers like AWS, DigitalOcean, or Google Cloud. If you're using Docker, it'll be smooth for deployment. For your frontend, Google Cloud Run has a decent free usage option. You can also use Google Compute Engine for your database – they offer free e2 micro instances forever.
